Simaudio MOON 740P Preamplifier $9000 Review

June 5, 2021 Comments Off on Simaudio MOON 740P Preamplifier $9000 Review

If you are looking for a preamp and you have a system (without a preamp) that has a retail price of $25k and up, the Moon 740P is well worth auditioning. I have not experienced a better preamp at this point in my audiophile journey. If I was not in the process of buying a new home, the 740P would not have left my system, and maybe one day will come back to it. It did nearly everything right, and looked great while doing it. I look forward to hopefully having the chance to explore the rest of the MOON line, if the 740P is any indicator I need to first make sure my wallet is ready.

MUSIC HALL CLASSIC TURNTABLE $599 REVIEW

June 5, 2021 Comments Off on MUSIC HALL CLASSIC TURNTABLE $599 REVIEW

The Music Hall Classic turntable has the look and features that can rival the more expensive ones out there. It is a well-built and attractive-looking turntable that is loaded with features such as touch-sensitive speed selector buttons, the auto-lift/auto-stop feature, and a built-in phono stage preamplifier. More importantly, the Classic backs up those desirable operational features with its strong vinyl-playback performance, producing highly musical sonic traits that brought me a delightful listening experience. With the combination of strong sonic performance and desirable features, the Music Hall Classic turntable is a product of significant value that is hard to beat in its price range.

SVS SB-1000 Pro and PB-1000 Pro Subwoofers $499 Review

A good example of the SB-1000 Pro’s musical competency could be heard on Norah Jones’ debut album Come Away With Me. This album is now nearly 20 years old, but arguably her best as it offers a great mix of soul, pop, jazz, and country tunes. Her cover of Hank Williams’ “Cold, Cold Heart” is still one of my favorite renditions of that tune due to its simple arrangement—just bass, piano, and Jones’ silky-smooth voice. The bass sets the mood out of the gate and it’s important for the subwoofer to convey it because most speakers can’t dig deep enough to do the track justice. The SB-1000 Pro sub really shined here, rendering the bass in a tight, punchy manner and never overpowering the vocals or piano.

When Roon Labs jumped into the arena, the cool thing was its use of the internet together with its knowledge base to supply you in real time active metadata about the music it played or it would make suggestions. You could explore/investigate/research/learn/discover while listening to music supplied by your own sources. One could even stop playing music and continue reading/discovering. Roon is not just a player software—just as an iPhone is not just a phone. And machine learning was part of its game: offering you `intelligent’ suggestions, once it got the hang of your listening habits by studying it (i.e., using it as data to feed its algorithm). It was exciting and fun.

AUDIO-GD NFB-1 AMP HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER/PREAMP Review

June 2, 2021 Comments Off on AUDIO-GD NFB-1 AMP HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER/PREAMP Review

a solid-state amp sounds tuby is rolled off highs and anemic bottom end, with high levels of THD added in to boot), what the NFB-1 AMP does sound like is what an amplifier should sound like, which is nothing, no coloration, or more to the point, like music, completely transparent.

For anyone looking for a top-notch headphone amplifier that works well with all types of headphone and music or an inexpensive preamp with a built-in headphone amp, then Audio-gd has your ticket and it is called the NFB-1 AMP.
