GrooveMaster 3 Tonearm Review

July 14, 2024 Comments Off on GrooveMaster 3 Tonearm Review

The GrooveMaster III arrives well-packed with an excellent manual, armboard, pivot-to-spindle mounting templates, protractor, hardware, and a handy metric Allen wrench set making this tonearm setup relatively painless. I say that with a caveat: If you’ve set up turntables before or have an experienced person who can help you, this should be a snap; if not, it might be best to hire a turntable specialist. 

Naim Audio NAP 350 Mono Amplifier $8499 each Reviews

Perhaps more importantly, this new range displays a little more of the mojo that characterized the earlier series of Naim amplification. When listening to this complete system, there was a visceral energy that I found highly addictive, capturing much of the thrill and energy of live music. This certainly isn’t an amplifier that will cosset you, or blunt the dynamics and impact of the original performance. For some, it might be a little too much; for others, it will be perfect, because it embodies everything that Naim has ever stood for.

AudioSolutions Figaro L2 Speakers 12.700 EUR Review

July 13, 2024 Comments Off on AudioSolutions Figaro L2 Speakers 12.700 EUR Review

When improving performance by introducing novelties, it is always difficult to maintain the sound character of the loudspeaker when it is very well tuned to begin with, but the Figaro L2 offers an enviably harmonious sound. By no means a happy coincidence, but rather well-considered strategic acoustic decisions.
A Live One is a great live album that embodies a vibrant, colorful upbeat narrative, pulsating with propulsive rhythms, electric guitar riffs, great percussive playing, engaging keys, and great audience feedback and interactivity.
The bluesy, almost jazzy feel requires a loudspeaker with a sparking core that can not only ignite the momentum but maintain and follow it at all times to fully capture the Phish at its core. Figaro L2 is not shy of dynamic shifts, able to fluently follow both micro and macro changes promptly and aptly.

FEZZ AUDIO EVO SILVER LUNA PRESTIGE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW$3,495

July 13, 2024 Comments Off on FEZZ AUDIO EVO SILVER LUNA PRESTIGE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW$3,495

By the end of my time with the Fezz Audio Evo Silver Luna Prestige Integrated Amplifier, I was impressed with its musicality and power. If I were a two-channel enthusiast looking for an elegant, powerful, beautiful-looking cornerstone to build upon, this would be near the top of my wish list.

If you are considering a stereo setup, the Fezz Audio Evo Silver Luna Prestige would make a great foundation. It looks as good as it sounds and has enough output to drive any reasonably efficient speakers. It lacks a headphone jack, and phono output and there is no sub out but there are ways around those things. If music is the food of the gods, Fezz will have you saying, “More, please!”

DALI Epikore 11 Loudspeaker Review

Jason’s lavish praise for the Epikore 11 culminates on a humorous note at the end: “The Epikore 11 is so highly recommended it’s just not funny.” No other DALI speaker has been reviewed quite as enthusiastically as the Epikore 11, which easily earned it our Reviewers’ Choice award. Other DALI speakers have earned this award in the past, but the Epikore 11 is the first to also receive our Recommended Reference Component award.

HIFIMAN PRELUDE REVIEW

July 12, 2024 Comments Off on HIFIMAN PRELUDE REVIEW

I have used the Hifiman Serenade in multiple setups in my office as well as in my living room setup. I have mostly used it with R2R technology DACs such as the Musician Audio Pegasus and Aquarius. I mostly used the balanced inputs on the back, in combination with both the single-ended as well as balanced outputs of this amplifier. Unless specifically mentioned, the in and out connections used for this review are the balanced ones.

I have used a whole series of easy and hard to drive headphones with different driver types. The most used headphones are the Hifiman HE-1000, the Susvara, the HD 800S, the RAAL 1995 Immanis, the ZMF Caldera Closed, the DCA’s, the JPSLabs Diana MR and the original Audeze LCD-2.1 which I just refurbished. We’ll get into the synergy with these headphones later in this article, but it’s safe to say that the Prelude can drive all of these with ease.
