Focal Sopra N°2 Floorstanding Speakers $14,000 Review
November 10, 2016 Comments Off on Focal Sopra N°2 Floorstanding Speakers $14,000 Review
” A personal downside for me–but really more of a compliment to the Focal Sopra N°2s speakers–is the fact that my room’s acoustic flaws are obvious to astute listeners (myself being the most notable), in that the speaker is so resolved and revealing. I often don’t want to roll down the Crestron shade to make the first-order reflections sound less pronounced on the right side of the room because I want to enjoy my view, too.”
Döhmann HELIX 1 REVIEW
November 10, 2016 Comments Off on Döhmann HELIX 1 REVIEW
“This is the first known to me turntable built around MinusK system. It is not placed on top of it, it doesn’t use it as a decoupling system but actually is integrated with it. Such a radical exploitation of any technology does not happen to often and I’m incredibly curious about results it could yield used for a CD Player.”
FOCAL UTOPIA HEADPHONES REVIEW
November 9, 2016 Comments Off on FOCAL UTOPIA HEADPHONES REVIEW
” It was as clear and life-like as I have heard . Conversely, the energy of Neil Peart’s drums were emphatic and really had plenty of punch to satisfy any audiophile. And the bass notes were clean, dynamic and ever so detailed. The bass section was particularly clean and while I do prefer the LCD-4’s presentation of a more dynamic punch and presence, the Utopias were not that far behind and still had me completely satisfied. Imaging was about average when compared to many of my favourite flagship headphones. ”
CAYIN I5 REVIEW
November 9, 2016 Comments Off on CAYIN I5 REVIEW
“I do get a lot of throwbacks to the N5 when I listen to this i5 but don’t get me wrong this is a new product and there are differences. The first one is not even from a strictly sound quality perspective but instead, we no longer have that obvious hum or hiss when I plug in my IEMs. ”
OPPO PM-2 REVIEW
November 9, 2016 Comments Off on OPPO PM-2 REVIEW
” Sound is undoubtedly top tier and the Oppo PM-2 are certainly one of the bests sounding headphones I have ever heard. When you get to flagship/end game level there is very little between headphones in regards to sound… some reviewers will talk as if there is gigantic leaps and bounds between different headphones at this level but its just not true”

November 7, 2016 Comments Off on Audience adeptResponse aR6-TSSOX Power Conditioner
“Installation and assembly went quickly. Under my aR6-TSS conditioner I use three fo.Q Modrate HEM-25B footers, which I left in place — I just set the aR6-TSSOX atop them. Then, following the manual’s instructions, I attached the Au24 SE powerChord to the aR6-TSSOX via the Neutrik PowerCon, lining up the ridges on the connector with the grooves on the inside of the outlet”
Rega Elicit-R [Integrated] Amplifier Review
November 7, 2016 Comments Off on Rega Elicit-R [Integrated] Amplifier Review
“The Elicit-R is a punchy, hard driving chassis that does not turn its back on most source material. Smack Up, the seminal jazz album by alto saxophonist, Art Pepper, sounded very good. Each of the five players held their own space, with the drums and the bass in the background and the solo instruments up front. Even though the balance was typical”
Definitive Technology BP9060 Floorstanding Speaker Review
November 7, 2016 Comments Off on Definitive Technology BP9060 Floorstanding Speaker Review
” It’s very tough to do measurements of speakers with powered bass sections, especially speakers that don’t have removable grilles, and double-especially when they have rear-firing drivers whose sound does “wrap around” the speaker, and whose contribution can’t be fully included in quasi-anechoic measurements. That said, I mostly liked what I saw in the BP9060’s curves. Other than a roughly +3dB peak centered at 1.5 kHz, I see nothing in the frequency response measurements that looks like it might be audible as a coloration. ”
ALO AUDIO CONTINENTAL V5 – REVIEW
November 6, 2016 Comments Off on ALO AUDIO CONTINENTAL V5 – REVIEW
“Even though it’s a hybrid amplifier with a tube in the input stage, I would describe the sound signature as fairly neutral with a hint of warmth and tube smoothness and that is noticeable from bass to highs. CV5 is what I would call a “lighter sounding amplifier”. The bass has very normal and good body and isn’t boosted in any way. Sub bass on the CV5 is lighter though and it’s more upper bass and lower mid bass”
BOSE QC35 REVIEW
November 6, 2016 Comments Off on BOSE QC35 REVIEW
“I used the QC35 for a month flying back and forth to the UQ as well as on various trains and buses and the range of sounds that are blocked out make traveling much more of a pleasure. The thing I liked most was that it just seemed more refined and interfered less with the sound reproduction of your music than with previous generations.”
