Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier review

” There is a troubling tendency in newer high end products, where perhaps 80% of the money are spend on cosmetics and the rest on performance. Today, great finish and design is not as rare as it used to be, so you see really exotic speakers that from a acoustic point are not making any sense and the drivers are off the shelf and the choice are somewhat based on fashion of the month and there fashionable drivers are beaten to omission to play together against their will.”

” The soundstage of the BAT VK3000SE is also another remarkable aspect as it throws out the staging with great depth, height and a decent width. It gives the music an engaging presentation where the sound simply engulfs you like a bubble, producing a holographic imaging of the performance. Instruments of classical pieces are well defined and spanned the entire sound field between my Sonus Faber speakers, with good separation.”

CYPHER LABS C6IEM V2 REVIEW

” Mids and bass gel as good as a coherent single driver earphone. Not that I’ve heard a single BA driver earphone sing such a warm, dry tune. Midrange instruments congregate mainly between the shoulders and spread out about as far as the edge of the scapula. Vocals are rich but don’t jump out at you, making them particularly attached to early The Chemical Brothers albums, and even some uplifting trance.”

Sikora Reference Turntable Review

“The M-700u taken alone is a powerful and subtle beast. It’s not quite as emotionally engaging as the best examples of the breed, but considerably more revealing than the majority. I particularly loved the combination of control and fine detail. There is no sense of the amp gripping the speaker, but the layers it uncovers in the mix show that distortion is being kept well at bay. It’s not an iron fist, but its grip is smooth and firm.”

HIFIMAN EDITION X PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONES REVIEW

” I happened to have an appropriate aftermarket balanced cable floating around and was able to attach the Edition X headphones, via said cable, to the balanced output of my OPPO HA-1 headphone amp/DAC. Voila it works, and very well too! The only difference I could discern between balanced and unbalanced mode was just louder operation at a given volume level via the balanced cable.”

SOTM S-MS1000SQ MUSIC SERVER REVIEW

” Ultimately these are four distinctly different options with different target users in mind. Sounds like a cop-out on my part but it’s absolutely true. If I had to break it down I’d say it like so: the Auraliti takes the budget recommendation — at that price it’s up against stuff from Cambridge Audio and Marantz which do a fine job for what they are yet simply aren’t in the same class for audio quality. The only sonic competition might be a used Bryston BDP-1, which was designed by…. the folks at Auraliti. So there you go. The Aurender X100L is best for those who value the app experience, as well as users needing massive storage. You don’t often see 12TB of internal storage on these types of things. Oh, and it sounds fantastic as well. The B.M.C. PureMedia is best enjoyed as the centerpiece of a mixed use media/music setup. For those willing to master its myriad features, it’s a rewarding experience indeed. ”

SONUS FABER OLYMPICA I REVIEW
April 12, 2016 Comments Off on SONUS FABER OLYMPICA I REVIEW
” To start it off, after living with the Olympica 1 for a couple of weeks, I begin to miss the bass response of my previous loudspeakers, the Focal Electra 1027be. The simplicity of being a two-way bookshelf, like the Olympica 1 eliminates the issues of a complicated crossover and allow it to have all the great sound technicalities. Nevertheless, there is always a trade off, and in this case, it would be the low frequency response that would have been there if the cabinet was larger with a couple of dedicated bass drivers. Following that, would be the overall sound character or signature that might be a make it or break it for fellow potential Olympica 1 owners. The speaker carries a leaner sonic signature to allow it to be more versatile with all kinds of music but some may yearn for a warmer presentation.”
