Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier review
April 14, 2016 Comments Off on Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier review
” There is a troubling tendency in newer high end products, where perhaps 80% of the money are spend on cosmetics and the rest on performance. Today, great finish and design is not as rare as it used to be, so you see really exotic speakers that from a acoustic point are not making any sense and the drivers are off the shelf and the choice are somewhat based on fashion of the month and there fashionable drivers are beaten to omission to play together against their will.”

” The soundstage of the BAT VK3000SE is also another remarkable aspect as it throws out the staging with great depth, height and a decent width. It gives the music an engaging presentation where the sound simply engulfs you like a bubble, producing a holographic imaging of the performance. Instruments of classical pieces are well defined and spanned the entire sound field between my Sonus Faber speakers, with good separation.”
Kemp Elektroniks MAXiiMUS P16 review

” What yours truly can say is that the MAXiiMUS P16 comes at 5 kg and only uses 0,4 Watt. It ́s based on the principles of harmonizing electrosmog, and the pictures I took together with USB and digital cables is just to show the size of the MAXiiMUS, and not meaning they have to be connected to the unit.”
AUDIO RESEARCH GSI75 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
April 9, 2016 Comments Off on AUDIO RESEARCH GSI75 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
“Even that headphone amp is no simple afterthought, and given the antipathy most conventional audio brands have toward the headphone world, we might expect something a little so-so here. In fact, the headphone amp is powerful, detailed, and dynamic. It’s also got that unique ‘clean, yet warm’ sound of ARC, and is not afraid to apply that to all bar the most recalcitrant of headphones.”
PS AUDIO BHK SIGNATURE 300 MONO POWER AMPLIFIER $15,000 REVIEW
April 8, 2016 Comments Off on PS AUDIO BHK SIGNATURE 300 MONO POWER AMPLIFIER $15,000 REVIEW
” You don’t produce a superb-sounding amplifier by choosing the wrong circuit. At the same time, I believe Paul’s comments do more to reflect how much a search for the best possible sound, the experience of the design team, and a deep commitment to creating the best product contribute to an amplifier’s success. The way products evolve are a critical part of its design, and often a part that explains a great deal more about their character and performance than any technical data.”
Audiobytes Black Dragon Amp/Dac Review
April 6, 2016 Comments Off on Audiobytes Black Dragon Amp/Dac Review
“The Black Dragon amplifier puts out a maximum 700mW into 32 ohms and the less efficient HE-1000 performs best with amplifiers that have high current and can deliver over watt or more of clean power. The Dragon still was able to drive it without running out of steam on jazz or acoustic recordings but was challenged during large-scale dynamic recordings. Connick’s vocal and Marsalis’ sax sounded live and organic. The HE-1000 had them hovering in space and gave me that out of head experience that I often get while listening to this magnificent headphone,”
Audionet AMP and PRE1 G3 preamplifier Review
April 6, 2016 Comments Off on Audionet AMP and PRE1 G3 preamplifier Review
” Listening to the second movement is even more intimate and emotional for me. Perahia starts off the second movement Largo superbly, making me feel as if time has stopped and as if I had been transported into a different world. This is Beethoven. The Audionet is not just about power and smart design. It also has finesse. Tons of it. This combo was able to get me so involved with the music that I forgot I was in the middle of reviewing this stuff. Can’t give a higher compliment than that.”
Audio Note Level 3 system review
April 3, 2016 Comments Off on Audio Note Level 3 system review
” Almost past the 500 hours another shipment arrived. This time the new Audio Note M3 phono and the Audio Note Conquest 300b mono blocks. While unpacking I was listening to the Brahms – 16 Hungarian Dances (reference recording by Antal Dorati). A stunning well recorded album with a ton of dynamics. Perfect for getting the AN/E settled in. Suddenly it was as the speakers took my attention away from unpacking the new amplifier setup. Something was happening. It was as if the speakers just took a nap and then woke up even fresher. Even though I wasn´t in the room I could easy hear from a distance that the music sounded way more refined and spacious. So off I went in to the listening room. I restarted the album, took a deep breath and listen. It was as if the speakers just turned my wall and living room in to illusion of a concert hall.”
TRON ATLANTIC INTEGRATED TUBE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
April 1, 2016 Comments Off on TRON ATLANTIC INTEGRATED TUBE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
” Try another recording from Atlantic’s back catalogue and suddenly the amplifier makes a lot more sense: John Coltrane’s Giant Steps from 1960. On the opening track of the same name, the amplifier’s ability to track this incredible piece of improvisation is lucid and coherent enough to hear just how much pianist Tommy Flanagan is struggling to keep up with Coltrane’s chord changes (in fairness, at times this track almost seems like Coltrane is reinventing musical harmony from first principles on the fly, and anyone this side of Lizst would have probably just given up). It’s a little difficult listening 56 years later to process precisely how revolutionary this was, but the key changes are quicksilver fast and perfectly related through the Atlantic, where many other amplifiers would simply gloss over them, making Giant Steps sound like yet another jazz album. The Atlantic amp portrays this through the use of effortless dynamics, a fine sense of foot-tapping fun, and a very deep (rather than wide) soundstage.”
