Moon by Simaudio Evolution 820S Power Supply $8000 Review
September 4, 2016 Comments Off on Moon by Simaudio Evolution 820S Power Supply $8000 Review
” Well, I wasn’t surprised. With the 740P still plugged directly into the Shunyata Research Venom PS8 power distributor I normally use for my electronics, and with only the 650D connected to the 820S — also plugged into the Venom PS8 for the duration of my listening for this review — I played a random selection of music fed from my laptop computer. (I no longer use the 650D’s CD transport because all of my CDs are now ripped to a hard drive.) Right off the bat, I heard a subtle improvement in image focus — that is, how sharply outlined the aural images of performers are on the soundstage — as well as a bigger soundstage (though how much the stage grew depended on the recording played). I thought the 650D also sounded a bit more dynamic, which was welcome — one of my reservations about the 650D has been that its sound is a bit too laid-back. These weren’t drastic improvements, but when I heard them, I surmised that the 820S had lowered the 650D’s noise floor”
What are audiophiles to do if the iPhone removes the headphone jack?
August 31, 2016 Comments Off on What are audiophiles to do if the iPhone removes the headphone jack?
“OK I’m weird, I like wires. The wires on my headphones are proof-positive I’m hearing 100 percent of my music’s quality, losslessly. It’s pure and easy, there’s no transmission snafus, digital-to-analog, encode/decode crap. No dropouts, it’s all good. I have a lot of company, tens of millions of folks who have invested in wired Beats, Bose, Grado, Sennheiser or Sony headphones, and like them perfectly well, what about us? I’m sorry, but the Lightning to 3.5mm jack adapter concept isn’t going to win me over.”
VOODOO ISO-POD ISOLATION SYSTEM $399 (set of 4) Review
August 26, 2016 Comments Off on VOODOO ISO-POD ISOLATION SYSTEM $399 (set of 4) Review
“Which brings us to the Iso-Pod Isolation system from VooDoo Cable (a company whose fine power cords I’ve reviewed in the past.) Based in Oakland, California, VooDoo uses a slightly different formula to achieve isolation goals. Outwardly the Iso-Pods look like innocent, circular discs. Their flat, felt-covered surface makes them very stable beneath a component. But inside, things get more interesting. Each Iso-Pod is actually a pair of CNC-machined aerospace alloy discs that are suspended from within by three small zirconium ball bearings that rest in tiny individual dimples. Like a ball-bearing sandwich, the assembly is held together by powerful opposing magnets centered in each disc. Iso-Pods ship in combinations of three or four discs.”

SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System Review
August 24, 2016 Comments Off on SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System Review
” Through much experimentation, I discovered that I could actually increase the overall volume by 7 dB without having my wife complain that it was too loud. It turns out that she connected the room vibrations with loudness. So not only do I get to listen to movies the way I really want them, she thinks she’s getting her way. Now that’s a win-win!”
Kaleidescape’s high-end movie player business shuts down
August 22, 2016 Comments Off on Kaleidescape’s high-end movie player business shuts down
“Since Kaleidescape focused on the high-end market, its prices were too high (the 4K Strato movie player starts at $3,495 without a hard drive included, and when we interviewed its founder in 2005 systems started at $27,000) for any kind of mass market acceptance, and the CEO says the company exhausted its resources building the downloadable movie system. Now, it’s turning out the lights at the same time 4K, HDR and surround audio platforms are providing a new shiny thing for videophiles to chase.”
