OPPO PM-3 Closed Back Headphone Review

July 13, 2015 Comments Off on OPPO PM-3 Closed Back Headphone Review

” But the frequency response from the PM-3 is much flatter than expected. Oppo seems to have built a headphone that plays to this mainstream headphone market while simultaneously elevating it through its distinctive planar magnetic acoustic signature. These headphones could be the perfect gateway-cans to introduce a headphone-audiophile neophyte to the world of acoustic possibilities of high-end headphones. Oh yes, these could be the cans that start a serious headphone addiction.”

” That ability to start and stop sounds on a dime, which I alluded to with the music selections, shone through in spades with the Daredevil soundtrack. Because the titular character Matt Murdock/Daredevil is blind, his superpowers involve super-hearing. In a number of scenes, when Daredevil focuses his hearing, this is demonstrated by taking a large canvas of sound–like a gritty New York street traffic scene–and fading to hone in on a single sound, like an innocent victim’s cry for help. ”

“The Acoustic Energys aren’t the weightiest or richest speakers we’ve heard – their temperament favouring the lean side of neutral – so avoid partnering them with similarly thin-sounding kit.

” ‘ve been living with these speakers for a few months now, and I didn’t start my critical listening until they were thoroughly run in. I’ve found I’m listening to a broader range of music now, since they are comfortable in jazz, classical, spoken word, heavy metal, folk, tango, pretty much everything except the new Dylan album, for which I blame Dylan, not YG. I don’t like that album anywhere, even though I love pretty much everything else he ever recorded. But I am also keeping some recordings, like The Retrospect Ensemble’s Bach Harpsichord Concertos [Linn CKD 410] for the car, since I find them uncomfortably thin here. Surprising, since so many other Linn SACD recordings sound great.”

Leema Acoustics Elements Integrated Amplifier Review

” At the time of the review a pair of Dali Rubicon 5’s arrived for evaluation and there was no hesitation in hooking them up to the Elements amplifier. These speakers have a rather prodigious bass output to them and those Floor Tom whacks shook the room even at fairly modest sound levels with no boom at all. Nice. The Dalis also have a revealing yet accurate treble and if there was any doubt about the Elements amplifier’s treble content then rest assured the Dalis would have found it, as this same album has some well recorded venue ambience which changes at each location and drum kit cymbals which shine with startling realism. Fink’s lyrics writing and indeed diction of same is terrible when he sings but for reasons I still cannot comprehend, this album is rarely out of my CD player of late.”

” There are plenty of options for high-quality stand/shelf speakers or monitors in the $3,000 range—from Bower Wilkins, Sonus faber, Harbeth, and numerous others—and the $2,995 DALI Rubicon 2s certainly hold their own. Their most praise-worthy characteristics are their accuracy, clarity, and broad frequency response, with an especially notable bass response for their size.”

Aurender Flow D/A headphone amplifier Review

” The high frequencies were clean and clear, though very slightly less so when playing files from the Flow’s internal drive compared with the same files played from the laptop’s hard drive. Though playing from the Flow’s storage means the USB port is operating simultaneously in both directions, doubling the rate of data flow, I heard no dropouts or other problems.”

” Per usual with Paradigm, these made-in-Canada speakers are well built and very attractive. Even a picky high-end audiophile will like the aesthetic of this speaker. Cabinet finishes come in Gloss Piano Black, Midnight Cherry, Satin Walnut (the review sample pair) and Satin Black Walnut. The five-way binding posts are easily accessible and the magnet-attached grill makes removal a snap.”
