TECHNICS SU-C700 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
March 27, 2016 Comments Off on TECHNICS SU-C700 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
” As nice as the amplifier/speaker pairing was, I was somewhat surprised that the ST C-700 network audio player probably left the biggest impression on me. I really thought of it initially as more of a convenience add-on, but its internal digital processing made it so much more than that. Outside of the unit going into standby automatically as I mentioned before, the Bluetooth capabilities were flawless. Even limited to streaming Redbook resolution material, I was immensely impressed by the sonic effects of the ST C-700. I don’t know how to best describe what I was hearing, but it was definitely less audiophile and more musical.”

CHORD ELECTRONICS MOJO HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER/DAC REVIEW
March 26, 2016 Comments Off on CHORD ELECTRONICS MOJO HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER/DAC REVIEW
” Paying homage to traditional Chord styling and their token port hole, free spinning clear acrylic balls allow for input selection as well as volume control. Lit up in various colours you’ll need to familiarise yourself with, they indicate bitrate and volume level, and they’re a welcome inclusion.”

Benchmark Media AHB2 Stereo Power Amplifier $2995 Review

” I was further frustrated by the use of what appear to be the 0735 or 0765 safety series of WBT speaker binding posts. They sport a clear Makrolon protective cover and guide to prevent accidental shorting. However, this added safety measure affords only a very limited area of engagement for spade-terminated cables. Only spades up to a certain width will pass through the guide to actually engage the post, and then only from one fixed and immovable insertion angle. On the AHB2, cables may only be inserted up from the bottom of the posts. This prohibits the use of larger, less flexible cables in general, and of those with large spades in particular, like my Stealth Dream V14’s. I had to use a banana converter (my trusty ol’ Monster Cable Xterminators) to make a connection.”

TANNOY REVOLUTION XT 8F FLOOR-STANDING SPEAKERS REVIEW
March 25, 2016 Comments Off on TANNOY REVOLUTION XT 8F FLOOR-STANDING SPEAKERS REVIEW
” The Revolution XT 8F has admirably flat response. Its listening window response fits into a roughly 5dB window from 300Hz – 10kHz at 1/12 octave smoothing. As always, a 1/3-octave smoothed listening window average is provided for comparison purposes. One thing to note: the window sizes at 1/12-octave and 1/3-octave smoothing don’t differ greatly. That suggests Tannoy carefully designed the drivers and cabinet to minimize resonances. This smoothness of response is another likely factor in the speakers’ superb low-level resolution.”

NAD VISO HP30 Review
March 25, 2016 Comments Off on NAD VISO HP30 Review
” The VISO HP30’s are marked by a strong accent and deep timbre. The sound signature can best be described as fun with a warm tonality with tendencies towards the mid and lower frequencies. The general tone takes on a dark background. The HP30s strike a good balance between sounding ‘fun’ and being clean towards its audio recreation”

Beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones REVIEW
March 25, 2016 Comments Off on Beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones REVIEW
” Getting down to the business of listening to the DT 1350 didn’t feel like work, as acoustic music had an organic natural quality. Voices inside these headphones sounded like actual human voices, imagine that! Flying Lotus’ “Until the Quiet Comes” album is jam-packed with texturally and rhythmically dense instrumentals that practically massaged my ears with its low bass beats. The DT 1350 plumbs the depths of the music, no problem.”
