Luminous Audio Technology’s Remarkable Arion Phono Preamplifier – Review
September 4, 2015 Comments Off on Luminous Audio Technology’s Remarkable Arion Phono Preamplifier – Review
” At this price point there should be little compromise though sometimes, designers attempting to extract every last bit of detail and resolution, push the envelope towards “analytical”. That is not the case with the Arion. It manages to be highly resolving on top, producing expansive high frequencies and clean, generous high frequency transients without sounding analytical or “crunchy”, though some listeners might prefer more air and slightly sharper transients.”

Margules Audio SF220.15 20th Anniversary Stereo Tube Preamplifier – Review
August 24, 2015 Comments Off on Margules Audio SF220.15 20th Anniversary Stereo Tube Preamplifier – Review
“I enjoyed my time with the Margules amp and preamp, as well as their phono preamp I will review next. I would be remiss if I didn’t reiterate about the rich and musical harmonics this preamp allows me to hear. There is just something in the reproduction of the harmonic structure of the music that moves a music system beyond being just an ensemble of good equipment.”

“The more I listen to this preamp, the more convincing it sounds. The fact that there is no electronic amplification going on gives it a major advantage; no grunge in means no grunge out. I tried it with amplifiers from Linn, Gamut, ATC, and the Class D examples fitted to PMC twotwo 6 active monitors. I tried both single-ended and XLR cables, including 5m examples of the latter for the PMCs. Nothing seems to phase the MFA, and everything seems to benefit from its grain free immediacy… not least being the listener himself.

“Also when it comes to comfort, the Cessaro Air one sets standards for the high-efficiency speaker world. If you ever tried to adjust a speaker-system with 106dB or more in the lower level ranges without using a resistor-based-20dB switch, you will appreciate our volume adjustment with 31 steps. This very one volume adjustment can be done directly at the device or by remote control.”

“Within that large soundstage, it was easy to hear little details and cues about the performance. The placement of background singers was well done. They were very clear and well placed, but they sounded appropriately distant and well placed. The same was true of instruments. Solo performers sounded as if they were on a stage in a hall. This was not done with false reverb or a dip in the midrange, but in a very natural and realistic way.”

” Through the Black and the first of its three filters, high-resolution files and CDs produced the full measure of dynamic authority always promised by digital but seldom delivered. The Black’s re-creation from digital sources of three-dimensional imaging and soundstaging was the most intense and compelling I’ve heard, with well-carved images presented against “black” backdrops”
Lamm Industries • LP1 Signature Phono Stage Review

” The Reference Phono 2 SE ramps up dynamically without sounding excessive, possesses notable transparency to the signal fed to it, and has an even tonal balance, if not one with lavish color. Consequently, perhaps, it sounds leaner and less physical than the LP1, transients in particular displaying just as much snap but less of the accenting resonance that gives drum strikes, for instance, much of the cut-through-the-air power of the Lamm LP1. The Reference Phono 2 SE has less low-end impact and weight, the bass drum”

“With the arrival of the VAC Signature SE, that changed. I spent many weeks listening to it, trying to describe how this preamp presented a more realistic reproduction of live music than any other preamp I’d heard in my house, but found it difficult to put into words. True, with every recording I played, the Signature SE gave a flawless performance—I could find nothing even approaching a weakness shortcoming. It produced an illusion of live musicians playing in an actual space better than any preamp I’d heard.”
