CHORD ELECTRONICS MOJO $599 REVIEW
April 8, 2016 Comments Off on CHORD ELECTRONICS MOJO $599 REVIEW
” The Mojo also plays out a bit better with EDM than the Hugo. That slightly thicker fuller bass response of the Mojo gels much better with the likes of Benny Benassi and Dash Berlin than the Hugo’s more neutral and flatter bass signature. Admittedly though the Hugo has a much more spacious sound to it than the Mojo and the brighter signature in general can often add missing sparkle in some EDM that really needs the top end to shine. Overall though it is about the bass body and weight for the majority of EDM and the Mojo is the more musical choice in that respect.”

“For example, on “Casa Loco” from guitarist Steve Khan’s fantastic album of the same name, all the bass notes sounded perfectly smooth and even. The lowest notes swelled, filling the room without booming or excessively resonating. That’s exactly the way a bass works; plug any electric bass into a good amp, pluck some high and low notes, and you’ll hear what I’m talking about. The groove was right on top of the beat, with zero delay or lag; it pretty much sounded like my Revel F206s had grown a whole lot bigger. The sound reminded me of what I’ve heard from well-calibrated professional subwoofers in top-notch recording studio control rooms.”

April 8, 2016 Comments Off on PS AUDIO BHK SIGNATURE 300 MONO POWER AMPLIFIER $15,000 REVIEW
” You don’t produce a superb-sounding amplifier by choosing the wrong circuit. At the same time, I believe Paul’s comments do more to reflect how much a search for the best possible sound, the experience of the design team, and a deep commitment to creating the best product contribute to an amplifier’s success. The way products evolve are a critical part of its design, and often a part that explains a great deal more about their character and performance than any technical data.”

The anatomy of perfect hi-res audio

“Qobuz demands that the studio masters it receives from its partnering record labels are at a minimum resolution of 24-bit/88kHz, and the files it serves go as high as 24-bit/192kHz. With 24 bits, your audio signal can be expressed 16,777,216 ways – that’s a far greater sampling frequency, with more ways of expressing the resulting sample. Also, through Qobuz’s process of turning a studio master into a user-ready file, there’s no upsampling, and no interference with the integrity of the audio.
Acoustic Research AR-M2 hi-rez portable player Review
April 7, 2016 Comments Off on Acoustic Research AR-M2 hi-rez portable player Review
” Acoustic Research doesn’t include lossily-compressed MP3 or AAC files in the list of formats the AR-M2 will play. However, it did play a 256kbps AAC file of Nat King Cole singing “Nature Boy” (Capitol), which I’d bought from iTunes, as well as a 256kbps MP3 file of “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” from Smashing Pumpkins’ (Rotten Apples) Greatest Hits (Virgin), purchased from Amazon. Also, AR lists DXD files under the formats supported, which are sampled at 352.8kHz. I don’t have any DXD files, but playing a WAV file of a 1kHz tone sampled at 384kHz resulted in pink noise.”

Pylon Audio Sapphire 23 Loudspeakers Review

“These features will also emerge in the case of any other material and make us enthusiastic each time. When we get used to such presentation, any other will seem flat to us, even if it is more natural. The price of this is lower bass saturation and a lack of a solid “foundation” under the sound. The instruments are not precisely focused within their 3D images and they sound more like a live concert, which is not always true. If a microphone was placed close to an instrument, the recorded sound of the instrument is tangible and clear. It is a departure from neutrality, but it is part of the world of recordings and of the art that it constitutes. So, the musical message is always very spatial and it is not tangible, while there is no low bass at all.”
Audiobytes Black Dragon Amp/Dac Review
April 6, 2016 Comments Off on Audiobytes Black Dragon Amp/Dac Review
“The Black Dragon amplifier puts out a maximum 700mW into 32 ohms and the less efficient HE-1000 performs best with amplifiers that have high current and can deliver over watt or more of clean power. The Dragon still was able to drive it without running out of steam on jazz or acoustic recordings but was challenged during large-scale dynamic recordings. Connick’s vocal and Marsalis’ sax sounded live and organic. The HE-1000 had them hovering in space and gave me that out of head experience that I often get while listening to this magnificent headphone,”
ArtVibes Audio DaVinci Loudspeaker Review

” This design was then submitted to a highly reputed cabinet maker that turned the drawing into a real world speaker enclosure. Pierre and his team were determined to make the speaker look as good as it sounded and so, to provide the livery for the speakers, they employed the services of a painter who specializes in painting Lamborghinis. Although they were very pleased with the Lamborgini quality finish, the ArtVibes team decided to go one step further. Being ardent art lovers they decided to give their customers an option that no other speaker manufacturer in the world has hitherto offered. They decided to combine art with the sound of music by offering their speakers with the exterior painted by a choice of four well-known, highly revered artists.”
