ELETECH ODE TO LAURA $2,799 REVIEW
October 10, 2023 Comments Off on ELETECH ODE TO LAURA $2,799 REVIEW
The Ode to Laura cable enhances all details. It adds a sheer amount of resolution throughout the entire frequency spectrum from top to bottom. Bass has higher definition, better speed and articulation. But unlike other copper cables, it doesn’t add anything to it. Laura doesn’t give a bigger body or more weight to the lows. It only delivers speed and precision, but that at the highest possible rate.
In the mids Laura comes across with a smooth sound, making vocals become airier and softer. It adds a layer of an organic touch, making everything sound a bit more Class-A-analogue. It doesn’t oversatuate the midrange, but still adds this bit of warmth, that makes music a little more enjoyable.
With the added resolution and details it’s no wonder, that Laura also takes things up a notch when it comes to imaging sharpness and sound-stage positioning. It makes it easier to pin-point specific instruments by clearly separating all musicians and tones from each other. Even in big orchestras and complex or busy structures Laura delivers masterfully.
HIFIMAN AUDIVINA $1,999 REVIEW
October 7, 2023 Comments Off on HIFIMAN AUDIVINA $1,999 REVIEW
When Hifiman launched their HE-R10P and R10D headphones, I was really impressed with the quality of the wooden earcups, and that’s no different now even if the wood looks a bit orangy in my sample. I really dig the shiny chrome like Hifiman logo on the center of the ear cup. According to Hifiman, the cavity constructed of hardwood is exquisitely lacquered and feels like jade to the touch. Through the surface of varnish, naturally formed pores are visible to the naked eye. It’s a nice way to describe the cup finish, and in reality they really do look nice and high-end.

VIVA AUDIO EGOISTA STX ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
August 27, 2023 Comments Off on VIVA AUDIO EGOISTA STX ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER REVIEW
The Egoista STX is a visual work of art, and nothing else looks quite like it. Especially with the right body color and with all those tubes lit up. Sonically, it brought out more of what my ear speakers were capable of reproducing than what I thought was even possible. It made me love my L700s all the more. I have no doubt it will do the same with pricier and more resolving cans. Its sound was smooth, detailed, appealing, and very much bordering on addictive. It is simply one hell of a thing.
Yes, there are less expensive options out there to drive your electrostatic headphones. STAX, among others, makes some lovely upmarket solid-state and tube-based energizers. But as our Editor Emeritus John Johnson discovered in his Feliks Audio headphone amplifier review there is something unique and special about the sound of 300B tubes with headphones. And here, wrapped in their fine Italian bodywork, I am hard-pressed to think of anything else that makes as much of a statement or leaves as much of an impression as the Viva Audio Egoista STX. If you have the means, I most enthusiastically recommend an audition, post haste. You won’t regret it!
