The Reference 7 may ‘only’ be the smallest floorstander in Canton’s reinvigorated top-of-the-line range but it’s still a very solid performer that easily fills larger rooms. Introducing a radical but pleasing industrial design and embodying new ‘acoustic smarts’, the Reference 7 is a capable performer that, while extracting the finer points of recordings, really excels at communicating power, dynamics and thrills.
FlipEars ARTHA $1699 Review
December 3, 2024 Comments Off on FlipEars ARTHA $1699 Review
Now I know these little portable video devices and where you can buy them. They do not cost that much but using them as part of IEM packaging is a stroke of genius and elevates the ARTHA unboxing experience massively.
Granted, after lifting the lid about 20 times you might get bored of the video but pay careful attention to the accessories since the box is packed with a small USB cable that not only charges the media player but allows you to mount the device on your PC and change the movie file.
Aside from the media, you get two sets of ear tips, a large leather carry case with decent room to fit the shells and cable, a cleaning tip, a cable organizer velcro strap, and a cleaning cloth. It’s a pretty decent lineup of gear with a great unboxing experience.

Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8 Loudspeaker $9500 Review

The speaker is made in China, mind you. But still, $9500 seemed like such a steal that, as I was reading Jan’s email, my eyebrows rose, my hands went down to the seat cushion on my chair, I propped myself up straight, and I realized that I might have to travel 3500 miles to Norway and visit this company so I could find out how they could possibly supply such a large, tech-heavy speaker for such a low price.
But I have a confession to make: I estimated the price based solely on what I was seeing—I hadn’t yet listened to the pair. Now that I have listened, I know my early reaction was on the right track—sonically, there’s much to admire here. However, not all my listening is done, so I’ll hold my thoughts on the Tower 8’s performance for my full review.
Keith Monks Prodigy Plus Record-Cleaning Machine Review

The next model up the line comes in either a satin blue finish, the Prodigy Blue Deluxe, or a satin white finish, the Prodigy Galileo Deluxe, both priced at $2195. The Deluxe models are based on an even higher-quality, higher-torque, quieter motor. They feature automatic shutoff after cleaning is complete and include the discOvery brush used in the company’s professional RCMs, which is claimed to offer deeper cleaning than the microfiber wand supplied with the lower-priced models. The Prodigy Deluxe can wash and vacuum each record side in two minutes.
McIntosh C2800 Review

The more I used the C2800, the more I came to appreciate its blend of clarity and focus. Some might prefer a preamp with a simpler specification, or perhaps the multiband equaliser that’s writ large across the solid-state C55, but I have to admit I didn’t use its subtle tone controls beyond a brief period of experimentation to explore their effect. Frankly, I was more than happy with the basic rightness of the C2800’s sound, and the way so much functionality has been packed in seemingly with no deleterious effect on the performance.
‘Real-world’ isn’t a description many would apply to a product costing the thick end of £12,000, and probably requiring a similar amount to be invested in power amplification. However, I think what McIntosh has got here is an exceptional valve preamp with excellent performance, all the inputs almost anyone could ever want, and no sign of valve quirkiness to frighten the horses.
