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

” 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

” 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.”
VISION EARS VE8 REVIEW
June 22, 2017 Comments Off on VISION EARS VE8 REVIEW
” Accuracy was never going to be an issue considering Vision Ears already had initial scans from a few years back. The only way these would not fit like a glove would be if my ear canal suddenly changed shape or the workmanship dropped. Honestly, I put my money on the former over the latter such is the consistency of the shell accuracy over all 3 reviewed thus far.”
QUESTYLE AUDIO CMA400I $799 – REVIEW
June 21, 2017 Comments Off on QUESTYLE AUDIO CMA400I $799 – REVIEW
” As for sound quality, it leaves little to be desired, it has excellent tonal balance and exemplary bandwidth and detail. The low frequency extension and control is a must hear to believe proposition. While it does not veil or sweeten the mid range, neither does it add anything to it, meaning it has a musicality that makes even listening to headphones that fall out on the bright or harsh side can be a pleasant and eye opening experience. While I attribute a great deal of the performance of the DAC to the amplifier section, and the wonderful ears of the designers at Questyle, you would be hard pressed to find one that has greater detail and low frequency performance.

Meridian Audio in the Jaguar F-Pace SUV – Review
June 21, 2017 Comments Off on Meridian Audio in the Jaguar F-Pace SUV – Review
“Tuning the F-Pace happened in a number of stages. We had access to a production-representative vehicle and we meticulously measured its sonic characteristics. The data was then fed into our proprietary analytical software to identify any unwanted resonances, and then we defined and implemented a very subtle and transparent filtering process to ensure that all frequencies were equalized in amplitude and consistent in decay. We use a very similar process with our home-audio room-correction technology.”
Magico Q5 loudspeakers Review
June 20, 2017 Comments Off on Magico Q5 loudspeakers Review
“The four-way, sealed-box design includes Magico’s new MBe-1 beryllium-dome tweeter plus four drivers with Nano-Tec cones. The Beryllium has a high ratio of stiffness to mass, and breakup modes far beyond the audioband. The Nano-cones, designed by Magico and assembled from parts sourced from around the world, consisted of a 6″ midrange, a 9″ midbass, and two 9″ woofers. None has a dustcap, and all feature sandwiches of Rohacell foam coated with carbon nanotubes to produce unusually stiff yet lightweight cones claimed to behave pistonically within their operating bandwidths.”
GOLD NOTE PH-10 PHONO PREAMPLIFIER REVIEW
June 20, 2017 Comments Off on GOLD NOTE PH-10 PHONO PREAMPLIFIER REVIEW
“I guess it comes down to the “simplified” recording techniques and stand out performers. Anyhow, I’m uberly enjoying such records and this particular Nathan Milstein record partnered with Gold Note PH-10 exhibited surprisingly sparkling and vivacious sonic composition. It instantly introduced a grand connection with midcingulate cortex and the anterior insula instead of pursuing Lateralization of left brain functional behavior.”
AVM EVOLUTION A3.2 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $6,000 REVIEW
June 20, 2017 Comments Off on AVM EVOLUTION A3.2 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $6,000 REVIEW
“Sonically however, I found that there are more similarities than not, with both offering up a clean, wide soundstage.
I dare say for digital sources, the NAD wins for ultimate transparency, however, the M2 has very limited connectivity for analog sources and unlike the AVM, cannot be upgraded with modules.”
47 Laboratory 4739 Fudou power amp $10,000 Review
June 19, 2017 Comments Off on 47 Laboratory 4739 Fudou power amp $10,000 Review
“The Fudou attained superb definition reminiscent of the Gaincard S in driving the TAD and displayed a tonal affinity towards the likes of Electrocompaniet, slightly soft and impressively spacious. Pushing the Fudou to beyond 90dB peak sound pressure twelve feet away in my listening chair induced subversive compressions. Asking the Fudou to drive the TAD-E1 into party-level ruckus will be improper.”
