Oracle Delphi Mk.VI Second Generation turntable
February 10, 2016 Comments Off on Oracle Delphi Mk.VI Second Generation turntable
” At the risk of jumping the gun on my listening comments, I’ll describe here the effectiveness of Oracle’s adjustable suspension-damping scheme. As Jacques Riendeau came to the end of his ministrations, he said he wanted to begin by listening to the Delphi without its suspension damping, and asked for a decent-quality recording of simple music: no audiophile spectaculars (not that I keep such things on hand). I selected “New Chance Blues” and “Green Light on the Southern,” from Norman Blake and Tony Rice’s Blake & Rice (LP, Rounder 0233); the former is a duet for mandolin and guitar, while the latter is a solo vocal by Blake, accompanied by two guitars; I believe M. Riendeau enjoyed both selections.”
PSB SPEAKERS M4U 4 Review
February 10, 2016 Comments Off on PSB SPEAKERS M4U 4 Review
” The build quality to me has been a little underwhelming from such an established brand. I am seeing products come from companies that have just had their products funded by Kickstarter 10x more polished than this and at cheaper price points. I mean the filter in the sound bore on one of my channels was on it side blocking it, I had to get tweezers and go all DIY on it before I even listened. Now while PSB do boast these being lightweight, which is indeed the case due to them being made of plastic, the finish is actually good. What is not is the way the seam is so visible with a gap all the way down the housing and a faceplate that looks so easy to pry off.”

” There is a hint of thickness to the bass when the volume is pushed, but it’s far from a dealbreaker. Most usage won’t require anything like the volume levels you have to reach before it really becomes noticeable… because this can go loud. Really loud.”

February 9, 2016 Comments Off on AKG N90Q noise-cancelling headphone competition
” When we tested the N90Q back in the January issue we were impressed by its tremendous ability to balance high-quality sound with effective noise-cancelling technology and its five-star rating for sound quality is no exaggeration.”
Rega RP8 Turntable Review
February 9, 2016 Comments Off on Rega RP8 Turntable Review
“The RP8 has an impressive looking ‘skeletal’ plinth design and uses an updated version of the Planar 9’s engineered hub bearing assembly (more of the trickle down). The outer shell that turns the turntable from skeleton to full body does not touch the curves of the main plinth and is primarily a platform for the dustcover. Rega uses a 24v low voltage motor that is controlled by an outboard, customized power supply. The glass platter is a triple layer design and the sub platter is made of aluminum. ”

Aurender FLOW REVIEW
February 8, 2016 Comments Off on Aurender FLOW REVIEW
” That’s the general idea. Business travelers, for example, would pack their laptop and the FLOW and…that’s it! No other bulky hardware needed (aside from headphones, obviously) for access to a huge library and high quality playback. Is that a compelling differentiation from the flood of more conventional devices out there? Though I suspect a lot of people won’t ever have need of the internal storage option, I do know a few who would find this device absolutely compelling. It’s quite literally the answer to a question they may not have known they had. Thankfully though, Aurender doesn’t just count on that one aspect alone. There’s also iDevice and Android connectivity, each with its own dedicated mode to maximize compatibility. Indeed, I had more luck with the FLOW using my iPad and various Android tablets/phones than I’ve had with most any other portable DAC/amp. So this is no one-hit wonder. But…is the sound on equal footing with the diverse feature set?”
