Noble FoKus Triumph Wireless $369 Review

November 6, 2024 Comments Off on Noble FoKus Triumph Wireless $369 Review


The packaging includes a finely designed plastic ear tips container featuring Noble’s logo, containing both wide-bore single-flange tips and more stubby double-flange tips, much like what was provided with the Mystique. Additionally, a nicely made velvet pouch is provided to protect the Alcantara charging case from drops. As for charging, you get a USB-A to USB-C cable, and due to the slightly recessed USB-C port on the case, Noble includes a C-female to C-male adapter, allowing you to charge the case with standard USB-C cables, which typically have a shorter connector length.

Topping D50 III & A50 III $229 Review

November 2, 2024 Comments Off on Topping D50 III & A50 III $229 Review

The agility of the D50 III really stood out during my listening sessions, making it feel like it has excellent control over the frequency spectrum, especially in complex genres. Whether I was listening to fast-paced heavy metal tracks or instrumental pieces, the D50 III impressed me. The D50 III punches well above its weight.

I have a D90 III Discrete sitting next to it, which is undoubtedly a more refined and resolving DAC; the D50 III still holds its ground. While the D90 has clear advantages in terms of depth, tonal realism, and overall resolution, the D50 III gives you around 80% of the D90’s performance at a fraction of the cost (around 20% of the D90’s price). This is hard to ignore, especially for the budget audiophile.

Quad Revela 2 £3499 Review

The Revela 2’s performance was similarly superb with The Mitchell Trio’s set Violets Of Dawn [Mercury STX 61067], recorded in 1965 (post-Chad) and featuring a young John Denver, whose instantly recognisable voice made aural dissection even simpler. Again, the unplugged instruments had body and the right resonances, my only regret being that I didn’t have present one of my guitar-playing friends to see if they could tell which make was being played.

If Quad’s goal with the Revela 2 wasn’t just to revive the brand’s ribbon of 70-plus years ago but to create a box-type speaker that sounds like a dipole or panel, two later studio creations deemed it a success. Both Dr. John’s In The Right Place [Analogue Productions CAPA 006 SA SACD] and Bonnie Raitt’s The Glow [Warner Bros 8122-78383-2 CD] – two albums recorded during the 1970s and therefore probably all-solid-state – are great for evaluating attack, bass power and, again, distinctive vocals.
