The ambient information around the guitar, his gravelly baritone, the smooth guitar response, and the bass are better defined than I’ve heard previously. So many cues from the Symphony made my ears perk up. Nothing, even Ricks’ most subtle guitar playing, escapes. And that old audiophile axiom “Rhythm, Pace and Dynamics“ was highlighted in “Ain’t No Fool” and then focused specifically on accelerated rhythm in “Frisco Whistle Blues.” The guitar timbre is outstanding, and his strumming was made especially beautiful. The coda of “Down Delta” will convince you of Ricks’ virtuosity and the Symphony’s superior playback.

or the most salient of comparisons in my reference system, after installing the two-an-a-half meter spade terminated speaker cables ($150,900/pair) between my True Life Audio SSA-350 monos and my Von Schweikert Audio ULTRA 9 loudspeakers, I installed the one-meter balanced interconnects ($68,000/pair) between my DSA Phono III phonostage and my True Life Audio SSP-1 linestage, and the two meter AC power cord ($51,800) to power the DSA Phono III as well. And, I did them in that order, with considerable time in between each installation, in the hopes that I would be able to identify each product’s individual contribution to the resultant sound.
NAD M66 streaming preamplifier $5499 Review

It is hard to think that any user would exhaust the M66’s options. As an analog preamp, as a digital “preamp,” as a DAC, as a room-correction tool, as a Roon endpoint or BluOS-based streamer, its functional and sonic performance is outstanding, and it seems optimal with all sources (though I didn’t try the phono inputs). The learning curve was relatively short, and as I learned to use it, I found it easy to use despite its extraordinary range of functions. The NAD M66 is a tour de force!

The new The Classic Reference combines technical finesse and luxury design like no other turntable. It is based on the The Classic EVO and the experience we won designing and building our iconic turntable, the 175 Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Classic Reference is available with a hand-selected Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Anniversary cartridge. The sound of this special cartridge was fine-tuned with members of the Vienna Philharmonics and built in Europe by Ortofon according to our specifications.
SMSL RAW-MDA1 $279 Review
December 7, 2024 Comments Off on SMSL RAW-MDA1 $279 Review
The sound emanating from the RAW-MDA1 varied by source input naturally, and the music source being used. I did prefer the balanced output for listening over the 6.35mm single-ended.
The balanced option helped to spread the soundstage out, allowing the instruments to exercise in their own space. Plus, the balanced output gives a cleaner signature, to me.
The RAW-MDA1 promotes a nearly neutral signature, displaying warmth and richness only if the source or music played does so (or when one of the cool filters is chosen). This comes across as one of the more neutral DAC/amps I have tried and is similar to the DL100.
