FOCAL SOPRA NO1 $8,999 REVIEW
November 5, 2016 Comments Off on FOCAL SOPRA NO1 $8,999 REVIEW
“Dynamics and loudness, of course, are not the same thing and one has to be reasonable about how loud you ask the Sopra No1s to play. The fairly small size of my room may explain why I was usually able to achieve satisfying volume without a sense of stress, even with music meant to be experienced at attention-getting dB levels—hard rock”
Wadia a315 Stereo Amplifier Review
November 5, 2016 Comments Off on Wadia a315 Stereo Amplifier Review
” In 1985, Men at Work released their third album, the largely ignored Two Hearts. I think it’s well recorded, and through the Wadia a315 it sounded mostly devoid of the early-digital harshness of so many CDs of that era. In “Maria,” Colin Hay’s voice jumped confidently onto the soundstage after a brief intro of maracas and effects-laden guitar, then lingered clearly in its own space with just a bit of reverb. Hay’s voice is not bass heavy, but his slightly raspy sound as he strains for the higher pitches was presented clearly in a nice contrast to Renée Geyer’s silky-smooth voice blooming atop the sounds from the rest of the band. ”
FITEAR TITAN & CAMPFIRE AUDIO VEGA IMPRESSIONS REVIEW
November 5, 2016 Comments Off on FITEAR TITAN & CAMPFIRE AUDIO VEGA IMPRESSIONS REVIEW
” Bar none, these are the most z-axis detailed earphones I’ve ever heard, and surpass even Campfire Audio’s Andromeda. Listening to them was like looking at a composite macro image for the first time, picking over myriad manufacturing defects and dust invisible to the naked eye. The problem I have is that, while I had fun listening to my music, I was listening way more to the earphone.”
Brinkmann Audio Bardo Turntable $9,900 REVIEW
November 5, 2016 Comments Off on Brinkmann Audio Bardo Turntable $9,900 REVIEW
“The presentation of the Bardo is indeed unique. Record after record has an ease and freedom from fatigue, again because of the excellent speed accuracy this table offers. Friends with canine hearing claiming perfect pitch that can hear a plethora of speed issues on every table I’ve ever reviewed were not only dead silent listening to the Bardo but they were also outright complimentary. Violins take on a magical realism with this table because of that speed accuracy.”
Music Hall MMF-9.3 Turntable Review
November 4, 2016 Comments Off on Music Hall MMF-9.3 Turntable Review
” If you are looking anywhere near the $2300 price range or even thought about spending more, you really owe it to yourself to hear the 9.3. It’s a screaming deal-and not just because of the price, but because of what it delivers to you in terms of musical enjoyment and the amount of information it retrieves from the grooves. I would need eight more thumbs to give the 9.3 all of the “thumbs up” it deserves. Needless to say, the 9.3 is highly recommended”
Audio-Technica SonicPro ATH-IM02 REVIEW
November 4, 2016 Comments Off on Audio-Technica SonicPro ATH-IM02 REVIEW
” It has good bass impact, too, especially by balanced armature standards—similar to the quad-driver Audiofly AF180 I reviewed previously. The low end is punchy and natural, though those with a yearning for serious bass rumble will still be better off with a dynamic-driver earphone instead.”
IFI AUDIO – MICRO ICAN SE & MICRO IDAC 2 REVIEW
November 4, 2016 Comments Off on IFI AUDIO – MICRO ICAN SE & MICRO IDAC 2 REVIEW
“I sometimes feel like most modern audio companies pay too much attention to the measurements and purists crowd, totally neglecting those like me who just don’t care for that and who just want to enjoy music to the fullest. I don’t want to wince and blink each time the track artist smacks a cymbal or strikes a piano key harshly.”

NUFORCE BE6I WIRELESS IN-EAR MONITORS – REVIEW
November 3, 2016 Comments Off on NUFORCE BE6I WIRELESS IN-EAR MONITORS – REVIEW
” His ability to belt out energetic vocals as in “Fifty Mission Cap” was so very satisfying. The tragic story of Bill Barilko’s untimely death at 24 after scoring the game winner to win the Toronto Maple Leafs the Stanley Cup in the 1951 Cup Finals was all laid bare with these lyrics. ”

” Part of this crystal-clear listening experience is created through the innovative placement of the transducer, which is positioned to provide a more natural listening experience. The wearer hears sound as if they are listening to a pair of stereo speakers rather than headphones, with a sense of imaging, depth and clarity that is truly breath taking.
