“The Fidue A83 is almost the exact opposite of the Westone W50 in terms of tonality and presentation with a much cleaner sound and more forward and extended top end. The W50 is so much darker and with a far more gut wrenching bass response that is sometimes overpowering using the stock EPIC cable for my taste. ”

” A Music First Audio transformer is a device that may appear simple to the eye but is more involved than suspected. Though microprocessor controlled machines are utilized in the general manufacturing process, making such a transformer requires a high degree of human labor”

“If I had been enjoying the remarkable Vitus through the Quad electrostats, things took an even more interesting turn when I installed a pair of Avalon Transcendent loudspeakers.”

“Let’s start with timbre and dynamic range—perhaps the foremost of horn-loudspeaker virtues but often the very things that get them into the most trouble. Most horns are not particular “neutral” transducers. Because of their own colorations and the often highly-colored amplifiers that are used to drive them, they don’t produce timbre with the transparent-to-source accuracy of a linear system like, oh, a typical Magico Q Series floorstander. ”

“I decided to try the Micro iDSD with two transducers that I think pretty much represent the Alpha and Omega of earphone/headphone sensitivity: the Noble Kaiser 10 CIEM (waaaay sensitive) and the Abyss AB-1266 planar magnetic headphone”

“The overall tonal balance of the H80 is very similar to all the other Hegel amplifiers I have used in my own system: H100, H200, H300 integrateds, and H30 power amp. That is to say, the H80 sounds neutral without glare, harshness, or graininess—unless, as already noted, the amp is pushed beyond its over-achieving power limit.”

” The VSD1S follows the sound signature of VSonic’s higher-end models, delivering a mildly v-shaped sound with punchy bass. Brainwavz’ similarly-priced S1 model is more powerful at the low end, offering up more of both impact and depth. The bass of the S1 tends to be a little more intrusive. However, despite its tighter, less powerful bass, the VSD1S still sounds a little more distant and veiled in the midrange. The S1 has more presence in the upper midrange and lower treble, which makes its mids sound more clear, crisp, and intelligible.”

“Now for brass tacks: The HE 560 does not require an expensive amplifier to be used. Because these cans can be run on a comparatively low amount of power compared to electrostatic headphones, you are not chained to an expensive piece of hardware when you use these”

“While the track doesn’t sound brittle, you notice more of the raspy high-end of the synth hits than the deep lows, and the vocals and the attack of the kick drum loop remain clear and in the spotlight. This isn’t a weak, bass-free sound, but it is more focused on balance than booming lows.”

“Setting up and using the Neo 340i were intuitive enough to be done without reference to the manual. The included remote handset controls the most frequently used features — but considering the price,”
