“As I’ve already suggested, the musical strength and coherence that enable the Living Voice speakers to transcend the limitations of piano recordings that we’ve all come to accept and spark small-ensemble classical pieces to vivid life and invest larger-scale works with a convincing power and emotional scope translate to every other form of music I played. Listening sessions became long, meandering trawls through the music collection and the discs, both analog and digital, that visitors had brought, each piece suggesting and leading almost inevitably to another”

” The PM2 comes with a similar pad made of pleather, but it seems that the driver is inherently tuned with slightly laidback treble. Though I’d hesitate to call it dark; it has nothing on the Audeze, but it has less treble than the Hifiman HE500.”

“The D’Agostino Master Audio Systems Momentum is not just better than all that have come before, both integrated and stereo amps, it is better in ways that make the distance between them seem so great.”

“The electric guitar positioned stage right, the sublime key to the piece, occupied its own space behind the plane of the speakers in what was a spacious sound image.”

” Let’s be clear here: “weakness” is a relative term. In practice, the ‘185 III is a remarkably competent, versatile and accomplished performer. It’s just that its bigger (and twice as powerful) brother is even more versatile, even more capable when it comes to a wider range of speakers. That in turn relates directly to the choice of output tubes and the way the EL34 sounds. As I’ve already said, the ’34 is remarkably seamless, top to bottom.”

“There are other commercial electro-static amplifiers out there like the HeadAmp Blue Hawaii Special Edition and Eddie Current Electra. But they are all vacuum tube based products and I’ve been living the tube-free life for the past few years

” Now, the musical value shot up tremendously. Earlier auditions of the Tenor monoblocks had familiarized me with the amp’s sonic character and I expected really good sound — and I got it all right; I recognized the amp’s sonic distinction immediately, which can only mean that the this preamp provided a relatively high level of neutrality.”

“That said, I can’t wholly recommend the Woo 234s for loudspeakers with moderate sensitivity, such as the Extremas, even considering there was some seriously immersive magic coming out of them. The Extremas tend to fare better when driven with more resolute power”

“In fact, this is the first time that I’ve used a portable audio player and thought, “Wow, this sounds like a major audiophile component… and it’s right here in my pocket!” Instead of, “Wish this POS sounded better… wish my head didn’t hurt.”
