” little transportable HPA-01M Bakoon amp, with its Satri design, is incredible in its own way. The Bakoon can’t compete with the A2 in terms of detail, clarity and sound stage but it is very good as well. It’s just a different kind of sound where bass gets a focus and where the mids are full bodied like on the V281. The Bakoon is especially good with orthos.”

“Comparison with an AudioTechnica AP-LP1240 direct drive turntable showed the the Lenco to be the quieter turntable, with a slightly more communicative presentation. Perhaps also, this was because the AT’s cartridge was still pretty new.”

” The K3003i’s stereo imaging sounds closer to a full-size over-the-ear headphone; it’s less inside my head than most in-ear designs. Individual instruments and vocalists are more precisely focused across a wide soundfield. That’s a biggie for me — most in-ears sound closed-in and small, but the K3003i does not”

” Dynaudio deliver very clean sound. Not as pure as that of their more expensive cousins also created by Wilfried Ehrenholz, the owner of Dynaudio, but the differences between them are not particularly big. This clarity of the sound allows”

” When it comes to dynamic linearity the 501 was simply nonpareil. Every other amp I’d listened to, tube or solid-state, reached a point where it simply couldn’t get louder or more dynamic without also audibly changing its sonic character. Sometimes, this pivot point came relatively early on, as it did with the puny ARC Reference 210 monoblocks (less so with the stouter Reference 250s); sometimes it came relatively late, as it did with the Constellation Centaur.”

HiFiMan HE-400i Headphone Review

” I find the HE-400i warm (there’s that word again) but not blatantly colored in any way. Compared with my Stax Gamma electrostatic headphone, the HiFiMan isn’t as useful to me in the studio, where I like my sound very sharp and detailed. But for enjoying music, the planar magnetic technology provides a natural degree of air and musicality that probably would be more pleasing to listen to for longer periods of time.”

“Balancing out the high end is a low frequency range that extends comfortably down and out of hearing range without rattling the chassis or over-modulating the drivers. This was by design, according to Audio Technica, who created the earcups out of a mix of aluminum and magnesium that they claim helps to remove unwanted resonance.”

” The music emerged from a superquiet, jet-black background with a big, commanding sound, lifelike scale, and tight, deep bass — all hallmarks of a well-designed, high-mass turntable. Paul Chambers’s lowest double-bass notes in “Flamenco Sketches,” for example, had authoritative weight and extension while remaining taut and well-defined, devoid of any bloat or overhang”

” This more transparent nature means it’s not as smooth a listen as the HA-1, and not as forgiving at lower-bitrate tracks, but even then you tend not to focus on a recording’s shortcomings, thanks to the Hugo’s inherently musical approach.”
