Audio Tekne TFM 2000 + TEA 2000 Review

July 27, 2015 Comments Off on Audio Tekne TFM 2000 + TEA 2000 Review

“This was, most likely, the first presentation of Audio Tekne products in Poland despite the fact that this is one of the highly appreciated Japanese audio brands. Looking at their devices most people think about the golden age of tube devices – simple, though elegant designs, without any fancy elements, where form serves purpose and not the other way around. ”

MARTEN COLTRANE SUPREME 2 LOUDSPEAKERS €390,000 pair REVIEW

“The real beauty of the big Martens is that they are one of the least overtly impressive or showy loudspeaker systems available today. Where so many big speakers scream, “Look at ME, listen to ME!” the Coltrane Supreme 2’s seem to spend all their time doing their level best to disappear. Their refined appearance is matched by their sound – they don’t project that solid, slab-like bass so beloved of audiophiles, so prevalent in demonstrations, and so rarely heard in reality.”

LINUM CABLES REVIEW

” Linum cables are so light that they can’t even keep the welterweight Ultrasone IQ from immediately drooping to your belly button. If you’re heading to a festival, or casual business meeting, your options are: drop the earphones in a shirt pocket, or put them in a case. Linum cables present loads of talking points,”

” Ask around, and you’ll find some people who find the Kaiser 10 to have treble that’s a bit too sparkly. On the other hand others find it a bit too muted and smooth. For what it’s worth, I think both groups are right, and at least in the Kaiser 10 that’s a good thing. The treble here is ever-present, has nice sparkle, but yet manages to be smooth and silky. ”

“And then the clincher, “And you think this [pointing to the SuperUniti again] sounds better than all that [waving hand pointedly in the general direction of my system], too?” I knew what was coming by the hand waving. My cards were marked, my fate sealed. I tried to argue (somewhat weakly, I admit) that lots of boxes were important for writing reviews, but it was too late. The wife had put her foot down, and from this angle it looked more like a cloven hoof.”

“Within that large soundstage, it was easy to hear little details and cues about the performance. The placement of background singers was well done. They were very clear and well placed, but they sounded appropriately distant and well placed. The same was true of instruments. Solo performers sounded as if they were on a stage in a hall. This was not done with false reverb or a dip in the midrange, but in a very natural and realistic way.”

” Listening to acoustic instruments highlights the character of the VK-655SE. Its enormous power reserves might not be noticed with less-demanding fare, but the instant a drumstick hits a cymbal or the string of a standup bass is plucked with force, the boundless reserves of this amplifier deliver the dynamic swing required to convince your auditory system that perhaps you’re not listening to recorded music at all.”
