” Another aspect of a speaker’s phase performance is its imaging and depth perspective, and again it scores highly. Spatially it’s a wide and expansive performer, which – although lacking the sheer vastness of a large panel loudspeaker – manages to sound far less shut in than some conventional rivals.”

“This combination of transparency and resolution without etch that defines the brand was readily apparent in all three Inspiration products. I have so much experience with Constellation that there was no mistaking the Inspiration’s crystalline transparency and openness for anything else. This see-through quality didn’t just allow me to hear instruments in the back of the hall or deep into a multitrack mix; it also conveyed an impression of immediacy, of the air in which the instruments exist being “charged” with the life and vitality of the hall or studio.

“In the case of the Sony Walkman, I think it’s a bit more black and white. Basically, what it comes down to is how particular you are about sound quality. If your attitude is blasé (shame on you), then just use your phone, save the $300, and be done with it. If your tastes are more discerning, then I’d say the Sony is worth your time. While $300 is certainly not something you’ll find in your couch, considering the price of the competition, it’s a relative bargain.”
FINAL AUDIO DESIGNHEAVEN VIII IEM REVIEW

” Owing to Final Audio’s ‘Balanced Air Movement’, the Heaven VIII accomplishes a quantity of bass hard to find in other balanced-armature IEMs, especially those with single drivers. Lows are full and articulate with a great sense of dynamism and realistic decay which contribute nicely to instrumental music.”

” The Lyr 2, like all Schiit products, is made in California, and the warranty runs 5 years, although the tubes’ warranty is 3 months. Even so, Schiit claims the tubes should deliver up to 5,000 hours of play time; and when they wear out replacement tubes are inexpensive.”
MAGNEPAN 20.7 LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW

“While the improvements discussed above are substantial and beneficial, where is this so-called “breakthrough” I have been trumpeting? It’s in the midbass and bass of the 20.7s. For many of you who have owned or listened extensively to full-range planars in the past, it may be safe to say that, while you admired the bass, you still were left wanting to some extent. You may have wanted more of the “slam” offered by good dynamic drivers”

” After that, on practically every recording tried, the VTL amplifier brought unexpected pleasures. It could bring out the best in a silky-smooth audiophile offering – like the Mozart Clarinet Concerto with Musical Fidelity boss Antony Michaelson as soloist, engineered by Tony Faulkner in the acoustically favourable Henry Wood Hall. Here the VTL was gorgeously light, airy, and spacious with a truly delightful string sound and a beautifully clean and open bass end.”

” It is funny as well because the treble isn’t even that bright yet it seems like it’s trying to push its presence across, like they trying to make more treble out of nothing. It is just a so-so treble that is a bit excited and a bit uncontrolled.”

“Moving on to the audio performance, on tracks with tremendous sub-bass content, like The Knife’s “Silent Shout,” the Momentum Wireless delivers thunderous lows that will please bass lovers. It also doesn’t distort at top listening levels—though, at this price, we’d be stunned if it did. The highs and high-mids on this track feel a bit sculpted, but that’s necessary to counterbalance the booming lows.”
ALLNIC AUDIO H-1201 PHONO EQ AMPLIFIER REVIEW

“But when you hear the sound of your favourite LPs, as reproduced by your favourite phono cartridge operating through the Allnic H-1201, you will instantly forget all about resistance and capacitance matching, because you will be so thrilled by the incredible purity of the sound you’re hearing, to the extent that it will likely be as if you’re hearing the music for the first time. The H-1201 retained everything I love about vinyl: the incredible realism of the stereo staging, the precision of the treble, and the organic, rich sound of the bass”
