As a confirmed vinylphile, I sometimes have difficulty placing myself in the mainstream of digital life. Yet, I can see the writing on the wall. Sure, there are cheaper ways of playing your digital files and streaming, but I was pondering a system reviewed from products reviewed in Audiophilia over the past few weeks. Buy a Denafrips Ares II DAC so enjoyed by Michael Johnson, and along with streaming and Roon subs, use the Nucleus Plus ($2559) as the star traffic cop to direct things. In HiFi terms, a digital front end of somewhat modest investment but one that will stand the test of time.
Gryphon Antileon EVO solid-state dual-mono amplifier Review $38,350 Review
May 25, 2021 Comments Off on Gryphon Antileon EVO solid-state dual-mono amplifier Review $38,350 Review
Starting with the basics, the Evo is extremely quiet. I am regularly surprised about how many high end amps have transformer buzz or hum. Quite frankly, it drives me bonkers. A few years ago, I had to obtain two Emotiva CMX-2 with their Precision Common Mode AC Line Filter With DC Offset Eliminator in order to review $30,000 monoblocks that buzzed loudly when plugged directly into the wall. Given the vagaries of the AC supply in many places, I would expect a designer to anticipate what needs to be done to prevent such issues in a home listening environment. Similarly, I am bothered to no end by thumps, clicks and thuds that occur during turn on, turn off, and anything in between.There are absolutely no such irritating issues with the Evo. The build quality, attention to detail, and the obvious expertise that went into this amp are impeccable in every respect.

SHANLING M6 21 REVIEW
May 23, 2021 Comments Off on SHANLING M6 21 REVIEW
The DAC is advertised for a DNR of up to 128dB and THD of -120dB, and it can handle up to 32-Bit 768kHz PCM, DSD256 via DoP, and native DSD512. For amp and LPF, Shanling uses a new setup of OPA2211 combined with ADI AD8397 chips and the KDS crystal oscillators, helped by the new FPGA chip, to guarantee a bit-perfect playback.
Rega P6 Turntable Review
May 23, 2021 Comments Off on Rega P6 Turntable Review
Another recent record that beautifully illustrates what the P6/Ania is capable of is the Berlin Philharmonic’s superb direct-to-disc recording of Bruckner’s Wagnerian Symphony No. 7. The last BPO performance conducted by the then 90-year-old Bernard Haitink, this magnificent recording is not of the sonic spectacular variety, but is instead one of those recordings that is so natural it comes about as close to the real thing as is possible from vinyl. An LP playback system must be accurate to properly render the deep silences, dynamic subtleties, harmonic layering, depth of field, and sweep of this music.
