AudioSolutions Figaro L2 Speakers 12.700 EUR Review
July 13, 2024 Comments Off on AudioSolutions Figaro L2 Speakers 12.700 EUR Review
A Live One is a great live album that embodies a vibrant, colorful upbeat narrative, pulsating with propulsive rhythms, electric guitar riffs, great percussive playing, engaging keys, and great audience feedback and interactivity.
The bluesy, almost jazzy feel requires a loudspeaker with a sparking core that can not only ignite the momentum but maintain and follow it at all times to fully capture the Phish at its core. Figaro L2 is not shy of dynamic shifts, able to fluently follow both micro and macro changes promptly and aptly.
FEZZ AUDIO EVO SILVER LUNA PRESTIGE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW$3,495
July 13, 2024 Comments Off on FEZZ AUDIO EVO SILVER LUNA PRESTIGE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW$3,495
By the end of my time with the Fezz Audio Evo Silver Luna Prestige Integrated Amplifier, I was impressed with its musicality and power. If I were a two-channel enthusiast looking for an elegant, powerful, beautiful-looking cornerstone to build upon, this would be near the top of my wish list.
If you are considering a stereo setup, the Fezz Audio Evo Silver Luna Prestige would make a great foundation. It looks as good as it sounds and has enough output to drive any reasonably efficient speakers. It lacks a headphone jack, and phono output and there is no sub out but there are ways around those things. If music is the food of the gods, Fezz will have you saying, “More, please!”

DALI Epikore 11 Loudspeaker Review
July 12, 2024 Comments Off on DALI Epikore 11 Loudspeaker Review
Jason’s lavish praise for the Epikore 11 culminates on a humorous note at the end: “The Epikore 11 is so highly recommended it’s just not funny.” No other DALI speaker has been reviewed quite as enthusiastically as the Epikore 11, which easily earned it our Reviewers’ Choice award. Other DALI speakers have earned this award in the past, but the Epikore 11 is the first to also receive our Recommended Reference Component award.
HIFIMAN PRELUDE REVIEW
July 12, 2024 Comments Off on HIFIMAN PRELUDE REVIEW
I have used the Hifiman Serenade in multiple setups in my office as well as in my living room setup. I have mostly used it with R2R technology DACs such as the Musician Audio Pegasus and Aquarius. I mostly used the balanced inputs on the back, in combination with both the single-ended as well as balanced outputs of this amplifier. Unless specifically mentioned, the in and out connections used for this review are the balanced ones.
I have used a whole series of easy and hard to drive headphones with different driver types. The most used headphones are the Hifiman HE-1000, the Susvara, the HD 800S, the RAAL 1995 Immanis, the ZMF Caldera Closed, the DCA’s, the JPSLabs Diana MR and the original Audeze LCD-2.1 which I just refurbished. We’ll get into the synergy with these headphones later in this article, but it’s safe to say that the Prelude can drive all of these with ease.
TAD Evolution C1000 Preamplifier And M1000 Power Amplifier $24,950 Review
July 10, 2024 Comments Off on TAD Evolution C1000 Preamplifier And M1000 Power Amplifier $24,950 Review
Their prices are the only thing stopping me from recommending the TAD C1000 preamplifier and M1000 power amplifier unconditionally. Yet I’m giving them my highest recommendation. If one’s goal as an audiophile is to recreate the original event as recorded accurately, these two components are as close as one will get for the money spent.
Suppose one decides to purchase one or both of these components. In that case, I hope the new owner of these components can concurrently donate to an organization that helps those less fortunate than this well-off (or very passionate) audiophile. If one cannot find an organization to donate to, I would be happy to suggest one.
Most audiophiles are aware that although these two components are expensive, they are relatively inexpensive components on the market. This includes many components made by TAD. Despite this, the TAD M1000 power amplifier and C1000 linestage are two of the best solid-state components I’ve reviewed or have had in my listening room for quite some time.
Hana Umami Blue Cartridge Review
July 10, 2024 Comments Off on Hana Umami Blue Cartridge Review
I have had the pleasure of testing some of their cartridges over the past and having known Hiroshi Ishihara for many years. He always strives for perfection when it comes to the products he takes under his wing.
The Umami Blue cartridge sits in an interesting price range between the lower and higher-end Hana cartridge models, but as you have already read in the music section, this splendid Hana cartridge delivers the music in abundance and more importantly, like all Hana cartridges, with the punch well above its given price.
