” Frankly, the sonic differences between Anthem Room Correction set to its defaults and tweaked to heck and back to suit my own preferences were minimal at best. The differences between the performance of the PW AMP with and without ARC, though, were substantial. Switching back and forth between room correction and no room correction is a simple matter of holding the Mute button for a few seconds, which makes for pretty easy comparison. Without ARC, bass performance was a wee bit less even, a little less controlled, and some mixes had a tendency to be a little out of whack.”

KEF LS50 monitor speaker REVIEW
December 19, 2015 Comments Off on KEF LS50 monitor speaker REVIEW
” The LS50’s proprietary “Uni-Q” driver combines a ribbed 5.25 inch (130mm) aluminum/magnesium woofer with a 1-inch (25mm) aluminum dome tweeter in its center, the driver sports a die-cast aluminum frame. The tweeter has that nifty looking Tangerine waveguide that uses “radial air channels to produce spherical waves up to the highest frequencies.” The Uni-Q driver shares a design and engineering kinship with the similar looking unit in KEF’s flagship Blade Two speaker. The LS50 speakers’ rear-end hosts an elliptical bass port and heavy-duty binding posts that match the quality feel of the rest of the speaker. There are no provisions for wall mounts or brackets, but this isn’t really the sort of speaker that sounds best hugging a wall. I had them on metal floor stands 3 feet away from the wall.”

SIMAUDIO MOON NEO 430HA – REVIEW
December 18, 2015 Comments Off on SIMAUDIO MOON NEO 430HA – REVIEW
“The analogue signature comes to mind due to a slightly soft treble, one that doesn’t have the bite or attack of my Questyle Monos or quite have the upper mid clarity for that matter. It is an ever so slightly softer sound as well, not by huge margins but the bass doesn’t have the agility of the Questyle or rumble of the Tektron. But that fluidity. There is also a rather impressive body to the sound that solidifies the sound it already has. A thick and creamy experience that is really pleasant on the ears.”

ALO Audio’s flagship portable DAC/headfi amp Review
December 18, 2015 Comments Off on ALO Audio’s flagship portable DAC/headfi amp Review
” he enclosure is a clever puzzle of bottom plate to which the battery sleeve is tacked; the U-shaped perforated rim and its C-shaped end piece; and the cover which slips into a recess to align its bolt receivers with the through holes. When screwed back together, it’s a seemingly bomb-proof brick of a marvel. If you don’t fancy the orange LEDs in the valve pins, Ken’s video explains how to defeat them. Time to lend an ear. Or better make that two.”

Naim Audio Mu-so Review
December 18, 2015 Comments Off on Naim Audio Mu-so Review
” The reason all of us entered into this hobby was because of the music and how it made is feel emotionally. We didn’t start purchasing sterile HiFi gear only to find out we could play something called music through said gear. Music brings out emotion like few other things in this world. What can make the emotional experience even better for many of us is getting closer to the performers and the actual sound of the recordings through great HiFi components. In addition, the ability to share both our favorite recordings and high quality reproduction with our friends and family is hard to put a price on. The Naim Mu-so enables us to overcome many barriers to bringing music back into our every day lives.”

Polk Audio T50 Tower Speaker Reviewed

” Here’s how I did the measurements. I measured frequency responses using an Audiomatica Clio FW 10 audio analyzer with the MIC-01 measurement microphone, and the speaker driven with an Outlaw Model 2200 amplifier. I used quasi-anechoic technique to remove the acoustical effects of surrounding objects. The T50 was placed atop a 33-inch (84-cm) stand. The mic was placed at a distance of one meter at tweeter height, and a pile of denim insulation was placed on the ground between the speaker and the mic to help absorb ground reflections and improve accuracy of the measurement at low frequencies”
