Hegel H160 Integrated Amplifier Review
January 25, 2016 Comments Off on Hegel H160 Integrated Amplifier Review
” Timing and perspective from the H160’s high frequencies was excellent. I never found cymbals to be jarring or forward, and yet their characteristics were tightly in focus. Even on heavy tracks like Lamb of God – Walk with Me in Hell, Chris Adler’s remarkable ability to place a perfectly timed cymbal was evident without being harsh through the H160, even at unneighbourly volumes.”

“The limited edition will sport a slightly different finish, a numbered platter, slight tweaks to the feet and a magnesium tonearm (as opposed to aluminium on the standard model). Otherwise, the decks are the same.We’re told both models will cost the same, which is round $4000 – more than three times the typical SL-1200 price of previous generations.”

Wharfedale Diamond 220 Loudspeakers Review
January 24, 2016 Comments Off on Wharfedale Diamond 220 Loudspeakers Review
” The Wharfedales also excelled at imaging. I could easily place musicians in space with laser accuracy. In “Dream in Blue,” from Los Lobos’ Kiko Live (16/44.1 FLAC, Shout! Factory), Cougar Estrada begins drumming slightly to the right of center. Then the rest of the band enters — Cesar Rosas, Louie Perez, and David Hidalgo on guitars to left and right of center, bassist Conrad Lozano starting in the right speaker and moving over to the left, Steve Berlin’s saxophone coming into the center, and finally, Hidalgo’s voice at center stage. The Diamond 220s’ soundstage effortlessly reproduced this band layout, and I could easily picture the musicians in my room”
QUESTYLE CMA800R DUAL MONO REVIEW
January 24, 2016 Comments Off on QUESTYLE CMA800R DUAL MONO REVIEW
” Then again some companies choose to do this by default with the single ended Tektron Head Amp I have using separate channel volume knobs by default, but it is freaking annoying. The other method is my preferred way of controlling these amps and that is using a DAC that doubles up with pre amp functionality and of course has XLRs out the you can set the Questyle’s to max volume purely as power amps and the attenuate the volume on the DAC. Honestly this is the best method and every one of the last ten or so DACs I have reviewed double as pre amps, even the cheaper ones so is not a hardship to find. I personally use my totaldac d1-tube-mk and its gives me tight volume control even with lower impedance cans, which is handy due to the high gain of the CMA800R.”

What could possibly be wrong with that? According to Schiit co-founder and the amplifier’s designer Jason Stoddard, quite a bit actually. For starters, one had to be tolerant of the subminiature tube’s possible microphonics; it didn’t play well with low impedance IEMs (that demand an amplifier with lower noise floor and of lower output impedance than the Vali’s 6.5 Ohms); no gain switching; no pre-amplifier outputs; no tube rolling. (Tube rolling is often one of the key attractions of owning a tube amplifier).”
