” Near the end of this review, I received from Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio an octet of KT150 output tubes for audition as he wanted my impressions compared to the KT120 that I used for my review of the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP power amplifier. Well, the KT150 corrected the gripe I had with the KT120: a slight loss of midrange smoothness and corresponding increase in muddiness. Not only is the KT150 smoother and more detailed, but more musically involving, more transparent, more bass impaction, and more everything else that is musically important, which the Carbon 7 SE and the rest of my system were able to demonstrate.”

BLACK PEARLS AUDIO BIRTH 100 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW

June 13, 2015 Comments Off on BLACK PEARLS AUDIO BIRTH 100 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW

http://goo.gl/3Nr0JH Read Here

“Even during complex passages in the recording, all the instruments are placed precisely when within the space of the speakers, making it really easy to pin point different instruments used in the recording. This amplifier also has very good dynamics, making loud and soft passages easily distinguishable. When cracking up the speakers to a really high volume, the amplifier starts to show its limitations, making the Focal 1027Be hard sounding, losing out on its natural tonality when playing recording with instruments.”

Audiofilia AF-S4 loudspeakers Review

” The high level of bass output also meant that the drum kits were more discernible at the back of the sound stage, instead of simply being there in the background. I really enjoyed a drum solo in one of the Deep Purple albums that I listened to. That bass also reinforces vocals making singers sound more substantial. The sound stage was large with very good depth, and imaging strong and precise. And I noticed when listening to somebody playing a tabla that, while I could hear the sound of the fingers against the skin as I would normally do, I could also hear the deeper sound of air inside the instrument.”

Optoma NuForce DDA120 Direct Digital Integrated Amplifier-DAC

” The first thing I noticed about the NuForce DDA120 was what a great all-around performer it was. It presented a large, convincing soundstage, excellent retrieval of detail, and precise imaging. There was deep, solid bass and good dynamics, especially considering that it’s a relatively small, inexpensive integrated.”

The Harmony 8 Pro $1050 Review

http://goo.gl/VBM1nx Read Here

” The Harmony 8 Pro works for me. The bass floats just like a butterfly- fast, furious and fighting fit. On the other hand the treble stings like a bee- a tiny prick, with a tingling feeling that lingers after. Overall the sound comes at you quick and fast, creating an explosion of sound as detail comes at you from every possible angle. Breathless from keeping up with the butterfly bass; ears still stinging a bit from the trebley-bee; and mind still reeling from the auditory input coming through”

Pylon Audio SAPPHIRE 25 Review

http://goo.gl/dYVWoC Read Here

“The Sapphire 25 premiered during Audio Show 2014. These are 2,5 way speakers. Tweeter comes from SEAS – its a soft dome from Prestige line with a wide, soft polymer surround and a rear chamber with optimal acoustic damping. This particular model sports no magnetic fluid which enhances a reproduction of smallest details and subtleties included in the recording. The midrange and bass are reproduced by a pair of paper cone Visaton W170S woofers. Same drivers are used also in our Topaz line. They offer classic spacial, three-dimensional and particularly dynamic sound, characteristic for this type of cones.”

Magnepan .7 speakers $1,395 Review

” The sound was beautifully balanced, so any lingering doubts that Magnepan speakers only sound best in larger rooms disappeared. The .7 may in fact be the ultimate speaker for audiophiles seeking maximum transparency in small rooms.”

“The Aero 6s are direct and forward, with an assured rather than assertive manner. There’s control to keep things steady and clean, and couple that with fine balance and decent precision and you have speakers that are hard to tear yourself away from”

CHORD HUGO REVIEW

June 9, 2015 Comments Off on CHORD HUGO REVIEW

http://goo.gl/vgoKOZ Read Here

“Overall, the Chord Hugo has the best Clarity, Soundstage, Detail and Imaging I’ve ever heard. It easily beats both the AK240 as well as the Aurender Flow in terms of clarity, soundstage and is more analytical than the rest. The Chord Hugo reproduces the music so perfectly that it actually makes everything sound a little sterile.”

“But the £900 price tag is not without justification.There are a couple of issues with the interface and design which mean the M2 doesn’t quite deliver the perfect, seamless experience.”
