NAD M10 Streaming Amplifier Review
August 17, 2019 Comments Off on NAD M10 Streaming Amplifier Review
“Whatever, the M10 chugs it out with excellent clarity, as one might hope from a musical all-rounder, and when one switches to something rather more focused, such as the carefully crafted pop of B A Robertson on his 1981 Bully For You album [Cherry Red CDMRED 679], the ability of the player/amp to dig deep into the mix of a track like ‘In The Bar At The Munich Hilton’ – we were still all a bit Cold War back then! – is consistently informative. Mind you, just as enjoyable is the exuberance with which it plays ‘Hey Presto’, probably the only musical tribute to Tommy Cooper and Paul Daniels in one song.
From the same era, The Alan Parsons Project’s concept album The Turn Of A Friendly Card [Sony BMG 82876815262], with its pounding rhythms and swirling synths and strings, pushes the M10 almost as hard as did the Saint-Saëns, with the title suite building from gentle piano and woodwind through to the full-on rock opera treatment of the final movement. The NAD M10 is entirely in control here, as one might hope, even able to blast out the music at old-school prog levels if required.”

HIFIMAN TWS600 True Wireless Earphone Review

So what’s the cost of getting rid of that connecting cable? Well, there are a few. First, are the available codecs. Many will only support SBC and AAC. Some support AptX HD, but none I know of support LDAC. Not even Sony’s own WF-1000XM3. This is due to bandwidth limitations. Typically, the signal is sent to one of the earbuds and that earbud will have to spend bandwidth to connect to the other.
The other tradeoff is having to carry a charging capsule or case around. They could be bulky inside the pockets or become inconvenient at a gym (nowhere to put them). There is just something to be said about just having a pair of Bluetooth earphones wrapped around your neck. You don’t have to deal with the case or the individual buds. They just “hang” there. The Jaybird earphones are an example of this.”
MartinLogan Classic ESL 9 Speakers Review

The Classic ESL 9 is not a perfect speaker but for a realistic, transparent listening experience with a truly expansive soundstage, you would be hard pressed to find a substitute at its price. And with a decent subwoofer or two for support, you will not be missing anything in terms of bass output even for the most demanding home theater applications. For anyone who understands the general character of an electrostatic speaker and gravitates toward that sound, the Classic ESL 9 is a must audition. To put my money where my mouth is, I bought my review pair.”

CAYIN N6II REVIEW
August 15, 2019 Comments Off on CAYIN N6II REVIEW
“The phrase that keeps sticking in my head is “an everyman sound with dollops of detail”. Make sense? It does if you enjoy a wide range of genres and it most certainly applies if you err towards the slightly smoother, euphonic or even-harmonic tone in playback. If you enjoy the wetter side of things, hate the dry, the splashy or the analytical then the A01 motherboard will appeal.
But before you lie back and dream of colorful lush overtones, let me shake you from that potential aural meme by telling you that the A01’s dynamic range performance is strong. The amplification stage in the N6ii’s motherboard is an excellent performer and produces enough power and clarity to dispel any notion that the N6ii/A01 combo is a leisurely romantic stroll. It is forgiving with a ‘bit of soul’ but not without some excellent levels of detail.”
SVS Prime Pinnacle Tower Speaker Review

“If you are in the market for a new pair of speakers, and you simply do not have the placement flexibility required to get the most out of so many other speakers, I highly suggest taking SVS up on their 45-day, risk-free audition offer. Be warned, however, that I suspect 99 percent of you who do so won’t be sending them back.”
