“As if that weren’t testing enough, we dug out a live recording of Linkin Park and were equally impressed at the amount of clarity and definition it extracted against the background crowd noise – even if the spacious soundstage seemed a bit forsaken.

” First up was ‘Reindeer Running’ from An Emerald City’s genius post-rock, psychedelic gypsy Circa Scaria album which I chose for its exhilarating drum and percussion intro, climactic chord changes and fast dynamics. The album was recorded live over two days in a large cave on Auckland’s West Coast, and the Hex gripped onto the immediacy and the fervour of the recording with stunning alacrity.”
DUNU DN-2000 Review

” In terms of sound quality, the DUNU DN-2000 is a successful hybrid design. It manages to leverage the bass of the dynamic driver without having it overwhelm the mids and highs, maintains pretty good coherency, and extracts the expected clarity and detail from the balanced armatures without losing note thickness. In its price range, it is one of the IEMs to beat for sheer performance.”

“Prospective buyers will then want to know that the Mani is not a piece of s(c)h(i)it. Far from it, it’s terrific. Do you honestly think Mike Moffat and Jason Stoddard would risk throwing away years of hard won respect on an entry-level phono stage? The Mani doesn’t disappoint one bit, charming with a sense of transparency and easeful-but-clean treble articulation.”

“The RTI1’s metal exterior is handsome if understated. It’s glintier than it is blingy. Its matte surface staves off all but the most greasy of finger prints. It is both light, and sound. As you can imagine, it is cool to the touch. Count it a blessing in the summer. In the winter, well, let’s just say this: as long as you’re not in Canada or Russia, you should be fine.”
Audio Technica ESW9-LTD Headphone Review

” The upper midrange is the most impressive features of this 9-LTD and it performed in the most weird fashion that I’ve really ever come across. This is a spacious sounding headphone, perhaps much more so that I’d originally thought it would be and that factor of good staging properties is generated and fueled by the excellent and airy upper midrange”
Boulder 1060 power amplifier Review $18,000

“Another thing about the Boulder 1060: speed. Ever notice how some big amplifiers (especially solid-state ones) can sound a little slow—as if held back by their massive power supplies? Not so the 1060. The amplifier was breathtakingly fast, bracingly clean, and harmonically pure. Hey, compared to the $59,000 Boulder 2050s, this might be a bargain that gets you very close to the 2050s’ sound for a fraction of the price.”

” Think of the NS-F901s as highly crafted loudspeakers that offer a sound characterised by poise and sophistication. They are smooth yet very insightful, pushing vocals and instruments out to listeners. ”
BMC PureDAC DAC/Pre-Amp and Balanced Headphone Amplifier Review

” Lets not forget who we are though and that is a headphone site at heart and when an amazing DAC has a built in balanced headphone amplifier, we use it, and I have been using it with everything, due too a very handy Double Helix Cables Ultrashort Adapter that allows me to use all my Kobiconn balanced cables with the 4 pin XLR output so I have used IEMs, closed headphones and my desktop headphones to really get to know the headphone output. ”
