REVIEW: The LSA T-1 Turntable
This table has a lively sound, somewhere in-between what you can expect from similarly priced Rega or Pro-Ject tables, and when you line them up, it’s easy to spot a lot of crossover in the basic engineering. The T-1 offers solid bass fundamentals, and thanks to the mating between cartridge and arm is able to create a big soundfield between your speakers. This table is right at the point where (if your records are nice and clean) you can start to hear a difference between analog and digital.
ALTA AUDIO ALYSSA COMPACT SPEAKER $5,000 REVIEW
August 17, 2021 Comments Off on ALTA AUDIO ALYSSA COMPACT SPEAKER $5,000 REVIEW
What I enjoyed most about the Alyssas was their precise detail. I couldn’t stop listening to them because they truly brought things out of my most familiar recordings that I had not heard before. The sparkle of piano tones, the nuances of different bassoon sounds, and the huge soundstage and presence all suggested a much larger speaker. If you can set them up on stands with some breathing room away from the walls, you will be rewarded with a sound that is much larger than the small cabinets would suggest. Those ribbon tweeters are pure gold. The Alyssas truly disappear into the room.
SPL Performer m1000 Monoblock Amplifiers $8598 Review
August 16, 2021 Comments Off on SPL Performer m1000 Monoblock Amplifiers $8598 Review
My two months of listening to SPL’s Performer m1000 monoblocks has left me impressed and a bit smitten with them. The m1000 packs one hell of a punch, in sound and in value. Not once did I feel it had to strain to produce enough output power, or that its sound was constrained in any way, even at very high playback levels. Furthermore, the Performer m1000s ran cool, look cool, and, if you’re brave enough to lift one, feel solid as a rock. But most important, the m1000s were compelling to listen to.

Rhythms are delivered in a surefooted and controlled manner rather than with overt exuberance, but there’s still enough in the way of drive to keep us entertained. The overall presentation retains an easy-going charm that makes longer listening sessions a breeze.
The Focal’s transparency is highlighted by the sizable lift in performance when we switch to our reference Naim streamer/Burmester amplifier combo. Here, we’re aware of a greater sense of control and dynamic expression. There’s clearly even more information and we’re pleased with the way the Focals arrange it with control and composure.
SVS 3000 MICRO SUBWOOFER REVIEW
August 15, 2021 Comments Off on SVS 3000 MICRO SUBWOOFER REVIEW
The proverbial icing on the cake is the SVS Subwoofer app which you can download for free on an Apple or Android phone. The app does everything you can do manually on the back of the sub, plus it provides parametric EQ, room gain compensation, and programmable presets. If you mess with the presets, just remember to hit SAVE, or else they will not “stick” when you leave the app. At this price point, having an app is a real plus! Only a few other companies offer this type of tool and it works well and is easy to use. That said, when I paired my RSL sub with the SVS, I EQ’ed everything via my Marantz SR 1650 receiver with Audyssey MultEQ XT32. With the Audyssey Editor app ($19), I was able to EQ each sub separately and then sum them together. I placed the subs on opposite sidewalls with the RSL one-third of the way down the left wall and the SVS two-thirds of the way down the right wall.
