“It’s time for the Best of 2015 Awards here at CA. To be considered for the awards, a product must have been used by me over the last year. The product doesn’t need to be released in 2015, only used in 2015”

ROON is here! World’s first in depth review
December 28, 2015 Comments Off on ROON is here! World’s first in depth review
“A bold claim indeed, but spend a few minutes with Roon and you’ll find yourself getting up from the listening chair hours later. It’s that compelling. Now you can access music three dimensionally, much like you do when flipping through the bins at your favorite record store, but arguably better. And I say this as an analog lover that still has 8 turntables and over 7500 LP’s.”

Naim Mu-so Music System $1,500 Review
December 25, 2015 Comments Off on Naim Mu-so Music System $1,500 Review
“The Naim Mu-so has a built-in Internet radio receiver. It can access the Internet via the wireless network or, if you’re close enough, hardwired via its Ethernet connection in the base. You’ll want to download the Naim app first, and once you’ve selected your specific Mu-so, you can peruse the world with your fingertips. The app’s display tells you both the sampling rate and the bitstream rate of the selected station. Most stations offer abysmal audio—128 kilobits per second is the lowest I’ll listen to—but Naim also includes two presets that get you to some 320-kbps stations that sounded very natural to me. Strangely, you can’t control the volume of Internet radio from the same buttons on your phone you use to control streaming music, but you get a volume bar along the bottom of the app that you can use to adjust the volume.”
Naim Audio Mu-so Review
December 18, 2015 Comments Off on Naim Audio Mu-so Review
” The reason all of us entered into this hobby was because of the music and how it made is feel emotionally. We didn’t start purchasing sterile HiFi gear only to find out we could play something called music through said gear. Music brings out emotion like few other things in this world. What can make the emotional experience even better for many of us is getting closer to the performers and the actual sound of the recordings through great HiFi components. In addition, the ability to share both our favorite recordings and high quality reproduction with our friends and family is hard to put a price on. The Naim Mu-so enables us to overcome many barriers to bringing music back into our every day lives.”

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless Speaker Reviewed
December 16, 2015 Comments Off on Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless Speaker Reviewed
” Why are soundbars and wireless speakers so popular these days? Sure it’s about simplicity, but it’s also about convenience. Why do people listen to music from the speaker in their phone? Because it’s at their fingertips…it’s a single button push. Only audiophiles want to take the time to ensure that what they’re listening to sounds the best it possibly can at all time”
Soundstage and Imaging Separates Great from Just OK
December 13, 2015 Comments Off on Soundstage and Imaging Separates Great from Just OK
” I also find it completely ridiculous that I persist in being my own worst enemy in regard to imaging. I can be sitting the sweet spot listening in total harmony to music without a care in the word. Then suddenly, I begin to question things, asking myself in some inquisitive fashion, does this sound right? Ceding to common sense brings me back around but the nagging question lingers. That indecision whether a slight move here or there will improve the imaging and hence my musical enjoyment – and wrestling with the temptation to move the speakers and see if an improvement may, or may not be the result. And of course leaving well enough alone because deep down, I just know for sure it’s right”
