I have to admit that I’ve had decidedly mixed experiences with MoFi’s vinyl (and not because of the fuss around the “digital step”). While all of it sounds some variety of terrific, I’ve been less convinced by some releases’ ideas about the music. Take 2019’s double-disc reissue of Miles Smiles. The glossy, high-resolution mastering somehow allows the music’s rhythmic structure to drift. When I compared it to the 1967 Columbia original, I heard the playing of Miles Davis’s quintet as notably less incisive and communicative.So I slid the new Hejira out of its heavy sleeve and turned the Garrard’s speed dial to 45 with a bit of trepidation. When I sat down to listen, the music that came out of the speakers dazzled me. The MoFi team has somehow excavated a whole new layer of musically relevant information: not only more distinct notes from the guitar and bass and a closer, less murky acoustic but also tons of ambient sounds I’d never heard. And far more body, making Mitchell and the band present in a way I hadn’t experienced.

Kiwi Ears Altruva Review

November 21, 2025 Comments Off on Kiwi Ears Altruva Review

The pleather pads are thick and sumptuous, giving the head a welcome feel that does tend to get a bit hot in warmer weather.

The pads can easily be removed the “old-fashioned” way, while replacing them can be the bane of my existence, along with pulling Spotted Knapweed where I live. If a headphone has those “traditional” slots for pad exchange, I am loath to change pads. Ever.

Kiwi Ears must have read my mind, making a twist-off plastic ring, which can then be fed into the back of each pad. Switching to the velour pads took only a minute for a proper fit.

Hifiman Goldenwave GA-10 Review

The depth and layering are quite nice however, and if your headphone is up for it, that will show. The mids are nicely spacious and airy, and the presentation is very natural.

Vocals here are soft and they blend in perfectly in the mids, not being pushed forward on the stage. The treble region also is soft and void of sharpness.

It’s a very safely tuned upper region that won’t be offensive to anyone. In fact it might even be too soft for some of you, but it does perfectly match the amp’s tuning.

The bass section reaches down low, with a bit of sub rumble but it is mostly about body and weight. Bass isn’t the fastest or most detailed, layered. The Quantity here is more important.

Wilson Audio Sabrina V loudspeaker Review

November 19, 2025 Comments Off on Wilson Audio Sabrina V loudspeaker Review

https://www.hifinews.com/content/wilson-audio-sabrina-v-loudspeaker

Give the Sabrina Vs a chill-down with the gentle beats of Azimuth’s ‘Last Summer In Rio’ [Marca Passo; Far Out Recordings download], and they reward with a gorgeously rich and detailed sound. Here the bass and drums were crisp, tight and powerful, with the guitars and keys soaring eloquently above them – ideal listening during the heatwave at the time of writing.

The speedy, extended sound of the Sabrina Vs dovetailed well with the vocals and harmonies of the Eurythmics’ ‘There Must Be An Angel’, from the 2018 edition of Be Yourself Tonight [Sony Music download], where Dave Stewart’s multilayered scoring underpins Annie Lennox’s wonderful voice. And their ability to reveal fine production elevated the ‘Mamunia’/‘No Words’/‘Picasso’s Last Words’ sequence from the 50th Anniversary release of Wings’ Band On The Run album [MPL/Apple/Capitol 5543565].

It’s all wonderfully understated musicianship, and the Sabrina Vs, fed from the high-end dCS and Constellation hardware, made it so effortless and yet captivating right through to the distant reprise of ‘Jet’ and those lush strings.

Hidizs x Linsoul AP80 PRO MAX $139 Review

November 15, 2025 Comments Off on Hidizs x Linsoul AP80 PRO MAX $139 Review

There is always something I wish were improved regarding the sound of sub-$300 DAPs, mostly the perceived lack of resolution, transparency, and warm or cold coloration, as well as the occasional veil in the treble and lack of bass impact.

I’m pleased to report that the Hidizs AP80 PRO MAX does not introduce an obvious warmth to the sound, and the treble remains clear.

When I listen to the AP80 PRO MAX, I’m greeted with a neutral tonality characterized by a flat perceived frequency response and a transparent sound without obvious colorations, with an above-average soundstage size.

The bass is neutral with a small amount of added boominess in the sound; it goes deep and rumbly without losing too much control. There are acceptable details and articulation in the sound.

Lower midrange is clear and tight; there is no artificial warmth or bloom. It sounds colorless yet not clinical, as the overall sound is never thin or light in note weight; the vocals never lack body

Bayz Audio Courante 2.0 Loudspeaker $60,000 Review

These speakers make things easy because they stand out for specific reasons that other speakers don’t. Let’s delve into that a bit…. First and foremost they are omni-directional speakers, so if you have no interest in a non-traditional, non-dynamic, non-right angle cabinet based speaker then you’re not even reading this. If you are looking for a speaker with flexible placement, a wide sweet spot, palatial staging, and accurate image specificity you are a candidate. If you and your life partner are looking for something unique, modern, artistically designed and masterfully crafted, then you are a candidate. If you don’t cringe and laugh when you see $60,000 as the price tag, then you are a candidate. If you want the tonal structure, harmonic complexity, and dynamic impact of a dynamic driver but don’t want a dynamic speaker, then you are a candidate. If you are looking for a seriously sick pair of insanely cool looking speakers, you are without a doubt a candidate.

Luxsin Audio X9 Review

The mids perfectly connect to the bass section, with the same amount of body and weight. The mids are nicely airy and spacious and they to me are slower paced but natural.

Same goes for the vocal presentation, which isn’t too forward here. It nicely blends in but it’s not the most energetic (hence the engagement issue for me).

The top-end is very easygoing and safe to the ears, it will never offend. Sure it’s easy to listen to but it doesn’t help to improve the energy and engagement issues I feel there are. The top-end doesn’t really impress me if I can be this honest.

Where Am I?
