Alta Audio Rhea Loudspeakers Review
April 1, 2016 Comments Off on Alta Audio Rhea Loudspeakers Review
” Use a decent amp (any kind) with the Rhea and you will get: Excellent total balance and dynamic range–live sound, no hardness or edginess at the high end, nice body and weight, large and clear soundstage (which, as with my Celesta allow it to float around the room as when I am sitting at the dinner table). Voices in particular are smooth and silky exposing venue reflections and reverb. Very nice bass dynamics; deep and extended, with some tightness and punch, and easily shaking my couch at times for some pieces such as Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Béla Fleck and the Fleckstones”
fostex g1003mg Review

“Any such statement epitomizes a transducer designer’s mutually exclusive goals. The thinner and bigger he make her diaphragms, the less rigid and stable they will be when driven. Increased material thickness adds strength but also weight. And for pistonic devices meant to move many thousands of times per second, less mass is better. This basic setup is behind the current trend into ‘hi-tech’ materials particularly for tweeters which undergo the most rapid of movements. The expense of laboratory-grown diamond prized for its ultimate hardness thus far limits it to mostly tweeters. But in the costliest of speakers, diamond has begun to appear in larger midranges. For drivers with increased breakup/deformation challenges from larger surfaces and excursions, clever engineers exploit dissimilar material bonding. For woofers, this could be carbon skins over foam, vapour-deposited metal on paper, harder oxide layers over softer cores or similar variations on the theme. With Fostex, these transducers are 99.9% pure Magnesium, not an alloy or multi-lam.”

Queststyle QP1R – Review
March 31, 2016 Comments Off on Queststyle QP1R – Review
” Take the track Strom from Australian modern jazz trio Trichotomy. This immaculately engineered 24/48kHz recording sounds like a very decent improvement over CD played on the FiiO: bold, warm, lavishly detailed and dynamic – especially through the Oppo PM-2. On the QP1R, the sound is warmer and richer yet also more pristine, resolute and atmospheric. Drummer John Parker’s delicate stick work acquires new levels of subtle intricacy while Sean Foran’s piano has harmonic complexity and a sense of its own acoustic space, which the FiiO suggests but can’t quite nail. The experience sells ‘hi-res’ so powerfully, it soon has you wondering if you can ever go back to ‘mere’ CD quality.”

” Ryan seems to know intuitively that customer service is of paramount importance in today’s consumer climate. I found him to be candid and completely inoffensive, timely in delivering on his promises and paying attention to my requests. For not having met him in person it was a comfortable introduction and purchasing experience.
Audeze’s Sine $449 Review
March 31, 2016 Comments Off on Audeze’s Sine $449 Review
” While the soundstage is obviously smaller and more intimate than on open-backed headphones, the Sine through Cipher have more dimension than through the standard cable. Of course, the use of any headphone amp would enhance the sound quality of the Sine, but most other headphone amps aren’t the size of a stick of gum. That a 24-bit, high-resolution DAC/amp/DSP could be crammed into the space where the remote and mic live on a cable and somehow still make a clearly discernable improvement in sound is amazing, and the kind of thing that makes me glad I live in the future.”
Which Is the Best Music Streaming Service?

” Apple Music has a catalog that rivals Spotify. So if you’re deliberating between the two, there is little difference there. Apple Music’s integration of Beats 1 is a massive benefit and is probably where Apple Music has the upper-hand on Spotify, especially as their paid option is the same price.”
