” Another nit to pick with the Taurus is that I somehow found myself preferring the sound of the single-ended outputs over the balanced with my headphones. I am not savvy enough to know the technical reasoning behind these findings. I just know that the single-ended output seemed to offer left-to-right imaging that, while a touch narrower in width, seemed a bit more relaxed and natural to my ears.

” The over-ear pads provide a less bassy sound, reducing both impact and depth compared to the on-ear configuration. Bass bloat is also diminished slightly. Perhaps the over-ear option was tuned for less bass on purpose, in order to compete with more balanced, higher-end full-size headphones.”

“I was told that the chassis of the units were B-stock but that the internal build parts were A-stock. They were running low on stock and wanted to get review samples into my hands. I appreciated this effort! Having units with a B-stock chassis explained why the cosmetics weren’t 100% perfect.”

” he P5’s balance is attractive, especially if you value a clear midrange. Its treble is also better than most. Instruments and voices are conveyed with a smoothness and level of detail reminiscent of the way things sound in life. Seductive-sounding, comfortable, easy to drive, and relatively portable.

” The V12 does a truly special job with voices, particularly female voices. There is a focus to vocals, with a secure wholeness that is superb. The envelope of air around vocals is very convincing, bringing to mind the real thing. I noted an absence of stray phase distortion that yields ambiance where ambiance does not exist.”

” If you like tons of treble detail–perhaps even slightly exaggerated treble detail–I don’t think the Illusion II is your digital preamp. I loved its sound, but I’m 53, and I’ve noticed that the older listeners get, the more they like smoother treble. I could speculate as to why, but I’d just be speculating.”

“The above results were achieved with Valvet A3.5 Class A monoblocks (50 watt), which have a great midband but limited low end grunt. In an attempt to offset the bass issues mentioned, I swapped in an ATC P1 150 watt lump with a MOSFET output stage – the most powerful amplifier in my armoury.”

” The Parasound surprised and impressed me, in a good way. When I went to remove the relatively small amplifier from its box, the 275 v.2’s weight and solidity caught me by surprise, due to its incongruity with its size.”

” The first thing that impressed me about the sound of the Thöress 300B was its exceptionally good sense of touch—a characteristic I noted with virtually every record I tried, not just those that have a lot of plucking and banging going on”
