Naim Mu-so Qb Wireless Music System Review
June 27, 2017 Comments Off on Naim Mu-so Qb Wireless Music System Review
” Naim’s Mu-so Qb is a highly capable music system. Yes, it is expensive, but it’s superbly crafted and has a lot to offer in terms of playback options and, most important, sound quality. It would be hard to find a compact tabletop speaker that sounds as good as the Qb at any price

” When it comes to in-ear monitors, everyone has their preferences. Someone who’s a sound engineer may want something more balanced and neutral like the 16V2. Someone on stage, who hears more than just their own contribution to their music, may want something like the Lola or Layla/Roxanne depending on the type of emphasis they’re looking for. As for audiophiles, the jury is out on that one.”

“We’d like a touch more openness though, so instruments can breathe more freely. Compared with the Cambridge CXN, the Oppo has a suggestion of restraint to its sound”
Legacy Audio Powerbloc2 and Powerbloc4 Amplifiers $1,800, $2,950 Review
June 24, 2017 Comments Off on Legacy Audio Powerbloc2 and Powerbloc4 Amplifiers $1,800, $2,950 Review
” The Powerblocs’ pricing places them smack in the middle range of new Class D amps—not exactly cheap, but far from expensive in this context. At day’s end, about the only complaint I can summon against Legacy’s amps is their configurations. With only two- and four-channel options, supplying a five- or seven-point-whatever system means a single channel is doomed to idleness. I think I see Legacy’s problem, however. A single-module, one-channel ICEpower design would necessarily be almost as expensive as a two-channel one. A three-channel job would be too specialized, and five- or seven-channel models would mean mixing mono and stereo modules.”
BorderPatrol Digital to Analogue Converter’s $1,350 Review
June 24, 2017 Comments Off on BorderPatrol Digital to Analogue Converter’s $1,350 Review
” The BorderPatrol was changing the tonal balance, softening transients, sweetening the overall sound, but that’s sometimes a good thing. For instance, when I played the Rolling Stones’ horribly compressed and harsh 2016 album, “Blue & Lonesome,” I really enjoyed the music. That wasn’t possible with the Brooklyn converter — the music’s grit and glare came roaring back. Ah, but a great recording like Kraftwerk’s “Minimum- Maximum” live album on the BorderPatrol was a marvel. The BorderPatrol makes music — even electronic music — come alive.”
AEQUO AUDIO ENSIS SPEAKERS REVIEW
June 24, 2017 Comments Off on AEQUO AUDIO ENSIS SPEAKERS REVIEW
“The Outer Shell is a sandwich construction of hard woods on the outside and softer woods on the inside pressed with special in-house built hydraulic press with 20t of force. A total 9 layers of wood are pressed together into a compact shell strong enough to support the weight of a car: 3 layers of ultra-stiff wood, followed by 2 layers of softer wood, each of different thickness and divided by another thin layer, then finished with another 3 layers of ultra-stiff wood. This combination is still very thin but with the lowest possible amount of resonance in the entire frequency spectrum.”

“My Audeze LCD X headphones’ bass plumbed deeper than either of those two headphones, and soft-to-loud dynamics kicked harder, so if you crave high-energy impact, the LCD X has the edge. Still, as I continued listening, the Ether Flow did no wrong; nothing started to grate on me, and it’s a good deal more comfortable to wear than the LCD X.
ALBEDO AUDIO APTICA SPEAKERS REVIEW
June 23, 2017 Comments Off on ALBEDO AUDIO APTICA SPEAKERS REVIEW
” Despite its given size Aptica purr with much more momentum than one might assume from the causal visual grasp. Aptica’s ability to render music fully, even at low level listening makes them interesting for many contemporary audiophiles, that are seeking higher resolution at lower volume levels.”
Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 1800 Power Conditioner $1999 – Review
June 23, 2017 Comments Off on Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 1800 Power Conditioner $1999 – Review
” Whether the wondrous Chesky/Barbirolli/RPO Sibelius 2 LP or my digital FLAC of Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse and a hundred more tracks or LPs, stunning details were revealed hitherto unheard – flute trills in the Sibelius first movement clearer than ever before and even the great Amy’s glottle stop in her best Billie Holiday impersonation during Body and Soul. Layers made clear; what was once threadbare, fleshed out. ”
KEF Q350 Review
June 22, 2017 Comments Off on KEF Q350 Review
” The ambient noises are fleshed out with plenty of detail, and the way various noises interact with each other makes musical sense thanks to the KEFs’ well-timed presentation. The metronome ticking throughout the piece sounds pristine, with precise edges slicing off bits of time.”
