” Finally I selected one of my favorite demo tracks, Shelby Lynne’s Just a Little Lovin’, Just a Little Lovin’. (DSD64 http://www.Superhirez.com) Beautifully recorded with a terrific sense of space and instrument location, this track can reveal the soundstage ability of the headphone. The C6iem does a nice job of conveying that space. Overall it was a lovely presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Definitive Technology Symphony 1 Review

” Despite the quibbles with the bass quality, so far, I was pretty impressed. My smile faded, however, when I powered the Symphony 1 off and went into fully passive mode. Suddenly, the highs became uneven, the blobby quality of the lows became even more pronounced, although the bass volume itself was reduced.”

Mytek Manhattan DAC $5,000 Review

” On the upper registers, this is where the Manhattan felt a little flat and one-dimensional. The Lampi and Playback excel in this area and I thought the Manhattan was a little unfocused. Cymbal hits were just a little less defined.”

Accuphase A70 Power amplifier Review

” And yet I’m pretty sure that physical for of music album will survive, just as novels survived despite the fact that already 10 years ago some claimed that these would vanish completely. I guess a lot of credit for that fact has to go to the vinyl renaissance and its beautiful, large covers. Vinyl record forces user to listen to, at least, full side of each record, without choosing particular pieces of music, going forward and backward. It’s a good tradition, we should not give it up.”

Dali Epicon 8 Loudspeakers $19,995/pair Review

July 14, 2015 Comments Off on Dali Epicon 8 Loudspeakers $19,995/pair Review

http://goo.gl/n6SqFo Read Here

“The other area the Epicon 8s exceed their specs is in low frequency extension. While not overly scientific, they are claimed 3db down at 35hz, yet even 25hz test tones are barely diminished in comparison to the 30 and 40hz tones, at least in my test room. Playing music in the real world proves equally compelling; whether you prefer Infected Mushroom or Genesis, the Epicon 8s go deep.”

RHA MA750i In Ear Headphones Review

July 14, 2015 Comments Off on RHA MA750i In Ear Headphones Review

http://goo.gl/4tgSX6 Read Here

” The MA750i had a number of design points that were right in line with what I was looking for. It offered over ear cabling for a secure fit, stainless steel construction, a noise isolating fit, and a purported neutral tonal balance. Other touted features include steel reinforced Oxygen Free Copper cable, handmade drivers, and a three-button in line remote control. ”

Parasound Zdac V.2 and Headphone Amp Review

http://goo.gl/BwNVjX Read Here

” Parasound knew what they were doing—beefing up the amp section made for less stumbling with difficult loads, and therefore less unintended coloration. As surprising as it may seem from looking at this little device, it really does sound quite good with something like an HE-500 or even the new HE-560 based on my limited exposure to that model.”
