” The F2 is a curious mix of the truly wonderful, and the occasionally flat-footed. But then, all loudspeakers are compromised, your weapon of choice depends on what you want it for, and I’d say the Brodmann F2’s compromises are well chosen, all things considered. ”

“The midrange of the Momentum is mildly recessed, in keeping with a v-shaped sound signature. However, due in large part to the plentiful bass, it does not sound overly thin. Clarity is limited slightly by the recession and bass boost, but on the whole it is more than respectable. ”

” It also has sufficient power to drive very inefficient headphones, provided that you use the HA-1’s balanced outputs, which have considerably more dynamic ‘oomph’ than the single-end outputs do. If you’re the sort of listener who, down deep, prefers a one-stop shopping experience, you could order up a pair of Oppo’s PM-1 headphones (or perhaps the new cost-reduced PM-2 headphones) plus an HA-1 amp/DAC and live quite happily ever after.”

” The Motion 35XT’s combination of precise imaging, delicacy, and harmonic unity resulted in the best of both worlds. The sound was sufficiently bloomy, but with an emphasis on midrange musicality that never sacrificed accuracy. There was none of the wiry sound that tells me I’m listening to recorded sound instead of live sound; rather, the MLs produced a solemnity that favored airy highs and reassuring lows”

” Even so, I’d still give the nod to the best full-size, over-the-ear headphones like the Audeze LCD-X for producing more open and spacious sound than any in-ear headphone, including the Roxanne. Bass is another area where the over-the-ear headphones outpace in-ears, but as far as in-ears go, the Roxanne’s bass power and definition are state-of-the-art. The LCD X is a very large headphone, so it’s nowhere as portable as the Roxanne.”
KEF Reference 5 Review

” The Reference 5 is bass-reflex loaded by two rear ports, but KEF provides a choice between two bass tunings. Four heavy-duty chromed terminals provide for bi-wiring, with ‘taps’ in between to make or break the internal links that allow for single wiring.”

” It’s meant to improve the sound of lower bitrate recordings and it does just that, to a certain extent. The feature adds more high-frequency reach and makes the presentation notably more spacious.”
ROCK JAW ARCANA V2 IEM REVIEW

“The Arcana V2 sports a 1.2m lighted braided cable in a rubber/pliable plastic sheath which is terminated in a right angle 3.5mm jack which is a fairly healthy rubberized strain relief also. It does suffer from a touch of microphonics which you can reduce with an over the ear insertion.”

” In a word, it sounds BIG. It plays with authority – it sounds like a big power amp, one that has an effortless ease – and also tremendous finesse. For gain attenuation I used my DACT CT2 – it’s essentially as transparent as a straight wire through, which makes it easy to evaluate a power amp on its’ own merits”
Pro-Ject Elemental Phono USB turntable review

http://goo.gl/LFlPZg Read Here
” The Pro-Ject Elemental Phono USB is a very capable turntable, either for newcomers to vinyl or those looking to make a return. It simplifies the set-up process and removes the need to invest in expensive additional equipment. Getting everything working is very easy and the components are all of good quality. The experience of listening to a record and the tangibility of music ownership are also nice bonuses.”
