Onkyo A-9010 Integrated Amplifier-DAC – Review
March 15, 2016 Comments Off on Onkyo A-9010 Integrated Amplifier-DAC – Review
“What surprised me, though, was how well the Onkyo’s phono section did against the Linn’s. With the Art Garfunkel and Earth, Wind & Fire cuts, the A-9010 sounded nearly as silky and smooth as the Majik-1P. I think the Linn was ever-so-slightly more detailed, with a minimally wider frequency response and a greater signal/noise ratio, but I’m splitting hairs. The Onkyo’s phono stage sounded better than it had any right to, given the amplifier’s low cost. And with the EW&F cut, the Onkyo strutted its punch as well as the Linn.”

” Using the DirectStream Junio’s remote, I was able to remain in the listening seat and switch between I2S and USB, and using my iPad mini, I was able to switch between Lin’s Kazoo remote app and Aurender’s own app. Basically I would just let the same music play on both so that I could simply switch between inputs to do my comparisons.

Thrax Audio Heros power amplifier review
March 13, 2016 Comments Off on Thrax Audio Heros power amplifier review
” Recreating the realistic sound illusion is too often a huge burden not many amplifiers being able to take. Many resolve in certain ability of sound recreation, yet sadly being more of an abstract processes rather then managing to encapsulate the real musical impact. Here Thrax Heros step in with their intrinsic ability to convey music close to what it really is.”
NAD Masters Series M22 power amplifier $3,000 Review
March 13, 2016 Comments Off on NAD Masters Series M22 power amplifier $3,000 Review
” The B&W 800 Diamonds’ recommended amplifier power is 50–1000W into 8 ohms on unclipped program; they were up to it, but my ears were not. With the single M22, I had no problem playing the 800 Diamonds as loudly as I could enjoy. In the brief moments I could tolerate a bit more, I detected a glazing-over of the choral voices in the Finale of Mahler’s Resurrection. Was it just my ears overloading? No, because with the bridged M22 minimonsters, the chorus sounded pristine—until my ears and my neighbors cried for mercy. That tells me that I could live happily with a single M22; others, with more maniacal demands, might see a great opportunity for a bridged pair.”

Ypsilon Phaethon Integrated Amplifier Review
March 12, 2016 Comments Off on Ypsilon Phaethon Integrated Amplifier Review
” The Phaethon laid bare all the characteristics of three speakers with completely different performances, with their virtues and sins. When I look back on what I have written, it felt like I reviewed the three different speakers rather than the Phaethon. This is actually positive, because the Phaethon is an integrated amplifier that does not have any audible character, is very dynamic, transparent in the true meaning of the word and one that performs without interfering with the music. Its controlled bass performance is of a quality that can set example to many amplifiers and it can go way deeper than its size may suggest. It is obvious that Demetris Backlavas, has not only toppled the accustomed audio trends but also the myth of Phaethon who could not control the wild horses of the sun chariot.”
