Optoma NuForce BE6i Wireless Earphone Review
May 27, 2016 Comments Off on Optoma NuForce BE6i Wireless Earphone Review
” No matter how good an earphone is, if you connect to it with a very lossy bitstream, the sound quality is surely going to suffer. On a great pair of headphones, you will hear that degradation. The NuForce BE6i uses aptX, currently the best way to transmit via Bluetooth, and that’s already going to improve the sound. Make sure your playback device supports aptX, and consider the BE6i for good bass and a solid build.”

ProAc D48R Speakers Review
May 26, 2016 Comments Off on ProAc D48R Speakers Review
“ProAc lists the LF frequency limit at 20Hz, but without a +/-dB qualifier. In a 16 x 24-foot room this proves ever so slightly ambitious, but test tones reveal solid output at 30Hz diminishing rapidly after this. Real-world music listening proves that unless you are listening to a consistent diet of EDM tracks, you’ll never need a sub, as the D48Rs offer plenty of low frequency oomph. Whether listening to the heartbeat at the beginning of Dark Side or your favorite Dr. Dre cuts, these speakers deliver.”

MQA’s main objective is to avoid and repair the blurring, or time smearing, that occurs every time a conventionally designed low-pass (especially brick-wall) filter is employed in the recording and/or playback chains. MQA uses knowledge of the specific digital converters involved in that chain to restore timing information so that the temporal resolution is much better than even in high-frequency, high-bit-rate audio files.”

Bryston 4B Cubed Review
May 26, 2016 Comments Off on Bryston 4B Cubed Review
” Switch genres to the deep pulsating bass lines of electronic music and the Bryston shows off its new found depth thanks to the excellent power delivery of the 4B. No bloated or boomy bass here, just pure deep, fast bass that keeps pace effortlessly. High frequency performance is also great with treble that’s defined and crisp but never distracting from the rest of the frequencies. The Bryston combination seems to work with pretty much any genre from Rock to even Hip Hop. All you really need to ensure the performance is nothing less than spectacular is to make sure your source is of similar or better pedigree then the Bryston setup and you will not be disappointed.”

WILSON AUDIO ALEXX $110,000 Review
May 25, 2016 Comments Off on WILSON AUDIO ALEXX $110,000 Review
“The speakers may be great, but throw them in a room without much thought, and they’ll sound no better than a $200 pair. The preparation and installation of the system is paramount to getting exactly the right sound. The demo room in which I sat took five hours to set up, by a man with decades of experience using and placing Wilson Audio’s equipment. Interestingly, it was done without complicated electronic instruments, just some simple measurements, some scribblings on a piece of paper, and a very knowledgeable ear. That’s the caliber of person entrusted with Wilson Audio’s sound quality.”

Emerald Physics KC II Open Baffle Speaker – Review
May 25, 2016 Comments Off on Emerald Physics KC II Open Baffle Speaker – Review
” Handling that, Blues and smoky vocals from Norah Jones were a walk in the very musical park. And voices of both sexes sounded natural in their utterly different environments. Just what you want and expect from top notch, high end kit. Timbal accuracy, vocal and instrumental, is a highlight of these speakers, especially as addressed by the tweeter. ”

AMPZILLA II POWER AMPLIFIER $3,500 REVIEW
May 25, 2016 Comments Off on AMPZILLA II POWER AMPLIFIER $3,500 REVIEW
” Bowie’s haunting lyrics, which hint at his soon-to-come demise, were accompanied by a tight and intimate performance from his band. The quality of the mastering and the clarity of the recording were a perfect match for the Son of Ampzilla II’s high-end capabilities. The quick snap of the opening snare, the entry of sax and woodwinds with just the right mix of rasp and and tone, and the strong and persistent bass guitar all framed Bowie’s clear and still hopeful voice. The song is a message of joy and vision. SST’s latest effort brought full justice to to the song, to David Bowie’s creation, and–in a satisfying touch of fate–to the full measure of the rebirth and rise of James Bongiorno’s life-long vision as well.”

Pass HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier $3,500 Review
May 24, 2016 Comments Off on Pass HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier $3,500 Review
” Even if you aren’t a headphone enthusiast, but have been shopping for a linestage in the $15,000 range, consider the HPA-1. (Remember, it’s only $3,500…) If you have a minimalist, yet high performance system and can live with two single-ended inputs and a lone single-ended output to your power amplifier, get your hands on an HPA-1 and spend the rest of the money on your system”
