Balanced Audio Technology VK-53SE Preamplifier Review
August 26, 2018 Comments Off on Balanced Audio Technology VK-53SE Preamplifier Review
“BAT’s VK-53SE errs on the warm side of neutral. But to say that it lacks any specific capabilities because of this warmer personality is not really accurate because the information is still there — it just needs the right speakers and ancillaries to coax it out. If the buyer takes the time to do so, the VK-53SE can sound momentous — and, like all other BAT products, the VK-53SE is wonderfully engineered and built like a tank. It’s also one of the most ergonomically friendly preamps I’ve used, and highly flexible in its connectivity and customization.”

EMM Labs DA2 Digital-To-Analog Converter (DAC) $25,000 Review
August 25, 2018 Comments Off on EMM Labs DA2 Digital-To-Analog Converter (DAC) $25,000 Review
“To my ears, it was the treble that the DA2 was able to reproduce that stood out during this particular listening session and that too was the finest I’ve ever heard from a digital source. No, this SACD of course didn’t have a 20 kHz ceiling imposed by the Nyquist frequency that prevents the treble of “normal” CDs of having any ultrasonic extension, but I’ve heard this through many other DSD capable DACs in the past. Although, this time it was different, because the treble didn’t sound like it was being reproduced from an SACD file, it sounded like it was simply being reproduced. Period. And of course, the audible frequencies were reproduced with the utmost in realism and extension, and all the other things us audiophiles like to talk about in the high-end when we hear the best components, such as the ultimate soundstage, imaging, transient response, etc., but now all these things hardly mattered, as the DA2 became an invisible component simply doing its job. I’ve dreamed of the day when digital would sound as good as was promised back in the day. It’s here. Finally.

Focal • Sopra No.2 Loudspeakers $14,999 Review
August 25, 2018 Comments Off on Focal • Sopra No.2 Loudspeakers $14,999 Review
“The No.3 delivers the scale and expansive soundstaging that the No.2 struggles with. It offers greater dimensionality and intimacy, but above all it allows a greater expressive range, particularly on the subtle textures and harmonics of acoustic material. It also goes louder and does so with greater discrimination and grace. In short, it allows the music to breathe significantly more easily — at the price of a bigger cabinet and more space. So far so good, but that extra performance comes at a price, not just in monetary terms but in terms of size, domestic impact and space requirements. It’s harder to set up too.”
ASTELL&KERN ACRO L1000 REVIEW
August 24, 2018 Comments Off on ASTELL&KERN ACRO L1000 REVIEW
“I’ve never been the biggest fan of DAC/AMP combo’s but the Acro L1000 has won me over. AK gave it a high end, audiophile tuning and the result is very impressive. Not only does the L1000 sound great it also looks gorgeous, unlike anything you’ve ever seen. On top of that it’s also a very versatile unit that has a large number of single end and balanced outputs, as well as a 15W/channel speaker output.”
PS Audio P20 Power Plant $9,999 Review

“Seriously, it only takes about 5 minutes to evaluate the P20, and a few more hours with a wide range of tracks to stop pinching yourself. Starting my evaluation with the fairly current heavy Pass Labs INT-60, plugging into the P20 was an instant epiphany. Fortunately, with a pair of 20 amp circuits and a 15 amp circuit near the equipment rack, it was a breeze to switch back and forth between P20 and the straight AC line.”
