VPI’s Goldy cartridge illustrates the potential subjective impact of what are, on the face of it, simple mechanical revisions. Naturally, Audio-Technica’s ‘donor chassis’ is already in the top drawer, but VPI’s tweaks have resulted in something of a giant-killer. The Goldy retains the tracking prowess and medium output of the AT-OC9 but adds a silkiness and refinement all its own. If you own a VPI deck, it’s a slam dunk.

Sivga Luan Open-Backed Headphones Review

The advantages however, besides increased situational awareness, is an improved stereo image. Just like when you listen with a pair of loudspeakers, the room and the reflections within it play a part in the sound you hear. It’s a bit like listening to a pair of near field loudspeakers, but with holographic imaging and the obvious awareness of the headphones clamped to your head.
The driver diaphragm comprises a nickel-coated carbon-fibre composite dome which dissipates and suppresses excessive vibration effectively, and is lightweight and rigid with a highly elastic driver surround. It is driven by a copper clad aluminium coil and a 24.5mm, 350KJ/M rare earth Neodymium magnet

Though I did not find the low frequencies necessarily anemic or loose, I did experiment with placing a 16″ x 20″ oak platform underneath each cabinet to observe any contrasts in low-frequency focus vs my thick-pile carpeting. The boards did, in fact, provide a noticeable tautness in low frequencies, and at the same time, provide for enhanced definition of organic bass instrumental sources.

Core Power EQUI=CORE 1800 MK3 $1799 Review

The Core Power EQUI=CORE 1800 MK3 is a solid improvement over the previous MK2. The inclusion of the six gold plated copper duplexes by default and their new Wide Band Balanced Power Transformer made the unit perform better then I remembered the MK2 performing. In my testing, I was able to clearly hear a positive difference with the EQUI=CORE in my system, versus out of my system. I even loved it when it was combined with my PS Audio P12.
Power Conditioning and Conditioners can be incredibly expensive. I highly suggest that before you go out and spend a small fortune on a power conditioner, that you at least start with the Core Power EQUI=CORE 1800 MK3. It is candidly better then most products out there at its retail price, and keeps up with products 2—3x its retail price. Thank you as always Core Power and Underwood HiFi. It was a real pleasure reviewing your power conditioner.
