This magical subwoofer transformed any and all the high-quality speakers I auditioned with it connected into true full-range powerhouses. The sub is so clean, it always sounds like an extension of the speakers, and never like a box on the floor huffing and puffing to dig deep, like so many other subs. Its poise and power create a sense of awe. No other audio component I have reviewed so instantly transformed the rest of the system, elevating the fidelity to levels you’d rightly associate with the very best sounding stereo systems in the world. And nowhere was this clearer than when I was using my TV as the streaming source, the Kantos as my speakers, and the mighty Perlisten to take care of all the bass the speakers could not handle.
Bottom line: The sub makes the system. Yes it’s great to have a five-figure AVR-based Atmos rig singing and dancing, but goddam it is mind blowing what a killer sub can do for a modest-sized and priced pair of active speakers. Only a serious expletive can do it justice: The Perlisten R18s is the shit!
Toxic Cables Hornet Review
February 16, 2025 Comments Off on Toxic Cables Hornet Review
I know cable sound is a very hot topic. There are camps of people saying that they don’t make a difference at all, and a camp where people can hear sonic differences. Personally, I don’t care if you can or cannot hear the effects of cables in your chain. If you do, enjoy the heck out of it. If you don’t, that’s cool too. I have heard many different cables over the course of my audiophile journey and can say without a doubt, that there is something happening.
Of course, a cable can never change the entire sound of your IEM, headphone or speakers. So don’t expect a cable to turn your IEM into a whole new animal. That’s not how this works. With a cable you can uncover the last few drops of performance and optimize sound.

FiiO S15 Review
February 15, 2025 Comments Off on FiiO S15 Review
Listening on the HD 800s feels natural and dynamic; a slight adjustment in the midrange using the built-in equalizer can enhance vocal harmonies and nuances, adding to a euphonic experience.
Switching to the K9 Pro ESS using the RCA connection sees a slight drop in resolution, but dynamics remain strong, with added warmth in the midrange.
The RCA output, while generally neutral and enjoyable, falls slightly behind the XLR connection in staging separation and texture, which remains audibly superior.
When using the coaxial output from the S15 with the K9 Pro ESS decoder, the mid-bass gains prominence, with vocals sounding richer and more naturally rounded.
Although Bluetooth decoding exhibits decent dynamics, it falls short of the quality provided by local playback or USB decoding. Notably so in its treble extension which lacks a sense of effortlessness and displays a more noticeable roll-off.

The Alto’s ULTIMA topology introduces the company’s dual-feed-forward error correction technology, which monitors then corrects signals before the output stage. The twin-input design benefits from both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, as well as balanced XLR outs for bypass/throughput to other devices. The balanced XLR output can also be used in conjunction with headphones or loudspeakers in joint output mode.
The casework is precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium, with high-quality anodising undertaken locally. The front fascia includes volume control, power on/off and input selection controls, with colour-changing LEDs indicating power status and in/output choice. Alto measures 200 x 44.45 x 215mm (WxHxD) and a remote control comes supplied.
Hifiman HE1000 Unveiled $2,699 Review
February 14, 2025 Comments Off on Hifiman HE1000 Unveiled $2,699 Review
The Hifiman HE1000 Unveiled sports asymmetric and gently beveled ear pads like on the Susvara Unveiled, and they deliver excellent comfort as well. The inner side of the pads never touch your ears and the side grip/pressure sits just right in order to deliver the best comforts and performance.
With the Unveiled principle, the driver basically is very open an vulnerable. I however don’t see how you could damage the driver if you use the headphone like it is supposed to be used. That said, we have seen images of someone’s Unveiled driver being punctured. I have no idea how that happened there, but as not everyone is as careful, the Unveiled headphone come with magnetic covers. These nicely fit the outside of the ear cup, and this time round the magnetic force is perfect (unlike with the Susvara Unveiled). Anyway, this allows you to safely store the HE1000 Unveiled, without any risk of objects being absorbed by the magnetic driver.
