won’t go through all 28 tracks in my new playlist, which includes “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from John Wilson’s new recording of Carousel; “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Street Fighting Man” from the Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet; “Diamonds & Rust” by Joan Baez; “Something” and “Because” from the Beatles’ Abbey Road; the second movement, Scherzo, from Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9; and a violin concerto by J. S. Bach, a Haydn symphony, and a Shostakovich string quartet. On every one of these tracks, the YGs held a slight edge, but the price difference was out of all proportion to the sonic gains.
The Haileys threw a wider and deeper image, had greater definition in the bass, displayed increased resolution, and were cleaner on difficult percussion sounds. The differences were greater with bass-heavy material, where the YGs sounded cleaner and more tuneful, and on percussion-heavy jazz. But the YGs and Acoras sounded far more alike than different. You might well think they came from the same manufacturer if you were blindfolded. I would recommend the YG if cost were no object. But it almost always is, and I consider the MRC‑2 sensational value for money.

I have to admit that I’ve had decidedly mixed experiences with MoFi’s vinyl (and not because of the fuss around the “digital step”). While all of it sounds some variety of terrific, I’ve been less convinced by some releases’ ideas about the music. Take 2019’s double-disc reissue of Miles Smiles. The glossy, high-resolution mastering somehow allows the music’s rhythmic structure to drift. When I compared it to the 1967 Columbia original, I heard the playing of Miles Davis’s quintet as notably less incisive and communicative.So I slid the new Hejira out of its heavy sleeve and turned the Garrard’s speed dial to 45 with a bit of trepidation. When I sat down to listen, the music that came out of the speakers dazzled me. The MoFi team has somehow excavated a whole new layer of musically relevant information: not only more distinct notes from the guitar and bass and a closer, less murky acoustic but also tons of ambient sounds I’d never heard. And far more body, making Mitchell and the band present in a way I hadn’t experienced.

Kiwi Ears Altruva Review

The pleather pads are thick and sumptuous, giving the head a welcome feel that does tend to get a bit hot in warmer weather.
The pads can easily be removed the “old-fashioned” way, while replacing them can be the bane of my existence, along with pulling Spotted Knapweed where I live. If a headphone has those “traditional” slots for pad exchange, I am loath to change pads. Ever.
Kiwi Ears must have read my mind, making a twist-off plastic ring, which can then be fed into the back of each pad. Switching to the velour pads took only a minute for a proper fit.

The depth and layering are quite nice however, and if your headphone is up for it, that will show. The mids are nicely spacious and airy, and the presentation is very natural.
Vocals here are soft and they blend in perfectly in the mids, not being pushed forward on the stage. The treble region also is soft and void of sharpness.
It’s a very safely tuned upper region that won’t be offensive to anyone. In fact it might even be too soft for some of you, but it does perfectly match the amp’s tuning.
The bass section reaches down low, with a bit of sub rumble but it is mostly about body and weight. Bass isn’t the fastest or most detailed, layered. The Quantity here is more important.
