“This single-box Moon integrated is a very fine amplifier indeed that can punch way above its weight. When I look at the alternatives, many costing considerably more, I am very impressed with its potential and can imagine it being entirely suitable in systems that may well be conventionally considered a step too far up the performance ladder. After having lived with it for a while I know that to be wrong. It’s hardly cheap but it offers seriously involving performance, comparable with amplifiers costing twice as much. Check out a fully run-in example and I think you’ll agree. The Moon 600i V2 is a great, exceptionally capable integrated amplifier.”

“The Phantom is rated at just 10Ω and 117dB sensitivity. This is one heck of an easy monitor to drive out of any moderate source or good quality DAP. I am not entirely sure why you would resort to additional amping with the Phantom unless it is to acquire a measure of tonal shaping or additional dynamic range.

I put this easily in the same efficiency category as the Campfire Audio Andromeda and some VE models such as the VE8 for high sensitivity and low driving loads. Even out of a humble smartphone, albeit with better than average sound quality such as the LG G6, the Phantom sounds fulsome and highly engaging.”

Master & Dynamic MW07 True Wireless Earphones Review

“When needing a charge, 50% is complete in 15 minutes, while 40 minutes gives a full charge. A full charge yields about 3.5 hours of connectivity. But that is for the internal battery of the earphones. The case itself can hold 3 such full charges, so while on the road, if you run out of juice, you can place the earphones back in the case and wait a bit to recharge for another round. Thus, once the case and your buds are fully charged you have enough for 14 hours. Isn’t that convenient? When the case is fully charged (3 charges), the three tiny green LEDs illuminate.

When listening, the right earpiece has a button on top for pause/play, while the left one’s button is for volume up/down. Ear fit involves an included set of sizes for the outside cover from which to choose, but the very cool thing is that you give the MW07 a twist to seal them in place. It’s akin to using ‘EarPlanes’ earplugs on flights to reduce ear/air pressure—but now you get musical pleasure, too.”

“These floorstanders dig surprisingly deep in the bass for their size. They stay punchy and tuneful, even at higher levels, and deliver the music’s complex rhythms with swagger to spare.As with most high-end speakers, the sheer clarity and lack of distortion on offer may appear to reduce the grittiness of the music played, but listen carefully and you’ll find the feel and energy of the track remains very much intact.”

“I also took a look at the crossover parts that I’d used with the AMT’s, and quickly came to the realization that I already had a pair of highly regarded caps on hand of the correct configuration. I went back to the HHH site and read through the information again; the guy there basically loved the Audyn caps, and felt they were highly musical and an outstanding value for such little money. Another realization hit me: I’ve got these really decent caps on hand, they’re the correct value, and they’ve been burning in for literally thousands of hours over the last few years. If they made a difference, I’d probably hear it right away. I went straight to the workbench and grabbed all the tools necessary to make the cap swap.”
