The key, of course, is finding a good balance; the Auto Space Tune does a good job of that, and the ability to further tweak is welcome. But you won’t be criticising this Technics speaker for not having enough in the way of bass weight.

Detail levels are generally okay as well, giving enough information to keep that full-bodied presentation from becoming soft – in the upper registers at least. Unfortunately, though, the other side of

Stillpoints ESS Rack and Amplifier Stand Review

February 20, 2021 Comments Off on Stillpoints ESS Rack and Amplifier Stand Review

Another performance that demonstrated the proficiency of the racks was the recent live recording from Chick Corea with Christian McBride and Brian Blade called Trilogy 2. The ESS rack helped bring the last degree of articulation of this trio to the fore. It was simply a delight to hear the complicated rhythms on Thelonious Monk’s fiendishly difficult song “Work” unraveled with such accuracy and aplomb and verve.

Indeed, the ESS rack profoundly improved the performance of my audio system, allowing it to further resolve the very fine micro-details that enhance a sense of musical verisimilitude. The improved resolution and clarity were so palpable that at times I found myself listening at lower volume levels with total satisfaction. For anyone intent on obtaining a more suave and supple, refined and precise sound, Stillpoints delivers the goods.

Niagara 1200 Low-Z Power Noise-Dissipation System $999 Review

February 18, 2021 Comments Off on Niagara 1200 Low-Z Power Noise-Dissipation System $999 Review

I’ve been told recently that my journalistic approach to audio isn’t quite as scientific as it should be. And that few of the benefits I’m hearing—with the AudioQuest conditioning equipment, outlets, and cables in place in my system—could be scientifically proven. With regard to the Niagara range of products enhancing the quality of your system’s AC power, consider that the current power grid in the US is antiquated and totally overtaxed in daily use. And with the relatively low quality of builder grade power outlets (at a cost of about 50 cents each) and common 14 gauge Romex wiring, it’s not too much of a scientific stretch to imagine that audible improvements are easily obtainable with even just higher quality power outlets like the NRG Edisons. I know what my ears are telling me; I can clearly hear a significant lessening—or complete elimination of any associated noise—that I have to believe is due to the less than stellar quality of my AC power. And the Niagara units provide the added benefit of Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection for all connected equipment, and can withstand surges and spikes of up to 6000 volts or 3000 amps without sustaining any damage—while remaining completely transparent and sonically non-invasive. Does $8k worth of AudioQuest AC Power enhancements make an appreciable difference? Absolutely! I can’t recommend the AudioQuest AC conditioners, outlets, and cables highly enough; they’ve elevated my system synergy and overall performance level to a point I’d never have believed possible, and would make an appreciable difference with audio systems at any price point.
