“Over the course of the Bloc & Roc S1 review I have found myself quite impressed by both the build quality and sonic performance. The styling of the headphones was a big issue. From an aesthetic standpoint I would have really liked to have seen the S1 utilise some unique design as opposed to following an already well used off the shelf model. Instead of a premium product in its own right I feel like I have a fancy set on Urban Ear Plattan. When you put the styling to the side though the S1 headphones themselves did make for an excellent travel companion and I found myself impressed by the comfort, build quality and the reasonably fun sound. ”

MURAUDIO PX1 OMNIDIRECTIONAL ELECTROSTATIC HYBRID LOUDSPEAKER $63,000 REVIEW

“Each approach has its virtues and its drawbacks—I would not call them failings in either case—compared to the other. The omni approach with its room-filling sound has a kind of scale and an independence of listener position that gives some truly compelling naturalness. At the same time, one could have a certain sense that all that sound bouncing around the room was not exactly on the recording and that the space generated is in part generated by the room, and thus tends to be somewhat similar from recording to recording. And the imaging is less tightly focused and more impressionistic, albeit convincing in its stability. The choice is a personal one, since of course one cannot have both things at once.

“I have spent many hours with the SE5U, comparing it with many other newer CIEMs not yet on the chart as well as the top performers and it outshines. Is the SE5U for everyone? No, as sonic preference should also be a major factor in selection. There are those that don’t like the SE5R, and it seems like there are some bad ones out there that are sold and passed on to others, tainting more views. If you think the SE5R is for you when you read the review and comparisons, the SE5U will also be for you.”

FOCAL ARIA 948 LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW

February 18, 2016 Comments Off on FOCAL ARIA 948 LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW

Read Here

” The huge soundstaging strikes me with great width, depth and even with height, giving a great presentation. But my attempts to replicate the magical surround-like soundstage when previously paired with the Mcintosh was futile with my BAT. That being said, the soundstaging has already exceeded almost all, if not all speakers within its price range or higher. The entire sound was simply expansive and there was never once the 948s felt constricted spatially. Simply put, soundstaging is the greatest strength of the 948s.”

VIVA AUDIO EGOISTA 2A3 HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER REVIEW

“This is the best-sounding headphone amplifier I’ve ever heard.

I say that in much the same spirit that John offered up in his review of the HE-1000 from HiFiMAN. There are headphones that do treble better (Sennheiser HD-800) or bass better (Abyss AB-1266), but none that do both better while at the same time nailing the mids, and while looking quite so awesome doing everything with an aplomb that belies exactly how hard this all is. The Egoista is exactly like that.”

PS Audio BHK Signature 300 monoblock power amplifier $14,998/pair Review

” The BHK 300s’ bottom end is nimble, well textured, and rhythmically solid, though there’s still more weight, power, and physicality to be had in the very lowest octaves. But given their cost—high but far from the highest—that’s hardly surprising. (Of course, you’d also need speakers that can express those qualities.) Still, I’d much prefer the nimble rhythmic pacing of the BHK 300s to greater weight that’s more sluggishly presented (footnote 1).”
