UNIQUE MELODY MENTOR V3 REVIEW
July 8, 2018 Comments Off on UNIQUE MELODY MENTOR V3 REVIEW
“Bass Ports Open: the bass ports allow you to add an extra 4dB down low, this is mainly affects the sub-bass and I personally prefer the tighter and more controlled sound with the ports closed. I found the lows to lack a bit of focus when the ports are open, making them sound a tiny bit muddy. The only time I like the bass ports open is with more sub-bass oriented genres, and having the ability to adjust this is great.”

“The vast majority of the selections turn out to be music we already know by artists we’ve already confirmed we like. Tell YouTube Music you like Amy Winehouse (as we did, because we do) and Your Mixtape will include every one of her songs in next-to no time.It’s possible to improve and/or expand the scope of your ‘discoveries’ by enabling location- and activity-based recommendations in the settings. If you’re at the gym or walking in the park, YouTube Music is happy to tailor its recommendations to suit your activity or the time of day.”

ASTELL&KERN KANN PORTABLE PLAYER $1,000 REVIEW
July 7, 2018 Comments Off on ASTELL&KERN KANN PORTABLE PLAYER $1,000 REVIEW
“Physically, the KANN uses simpler though no less attractive chassis construction than the ‘milled–from-billet’ premium-priced AK DAPs do. To help keep build costs in check, the KANN features an extruded aluminium chassis that is roughly trapezoidal in cross section and that is offered either in ‘Eos Blue’ or ‘Astro Silver”. The chassis is capped-off with top and bottom endplates treated to a black, rubber-like ‘soft feel’ finish. The top plate features single-ended and balanced headphone jacks and line stage output jacks plus a master On/Off switch, while the bottom plate provides SD and Micro SD memory card slots, a USB-C charging/data port, and a micro USB I/O port for digital audio data. ”

Anthem Electronics STR D/A integrated amplifier $4499 Review
July 6, 2018 Comments Off on Anthem Electronics STR D/A integrated amplifier $4499 Review
“Because I evaluated the STR full range, without a subwoofer, and only with a digital input, my setup was far simpler than the above discussion might imply. But with its ability to set up different inputs separately, use more than one setup for any input, pass along an analog input unaltered or convert it to digital for processing, and more, the STR is exceptionally flexible. I left most of the controls at their factory default settings, which meant that it took me about five minutes to get the STR up and running. Setting up ARC will take a little longer.”

BH Sound SV-661R Bookshelf Speaker Review
July 5, 2018 Comments Off on BH Sound SV-661R Bookshelf Speaker Review
“If you are a lover of jazz, acoustic, classical, opera, or vocal-centric music, you will find RBH Sound’s SV-661R to be a very satisfying speaker. It has excellent soundstaging, with accurate layering and positioning of players on that stage. Because of its proprietary AMT driver, the SV-661R delivers beautiful timbres/tonality/colors in the very important midrange and treble regions. This tonality is delivered in a slightly warm/silky way that allows you to relax into the music, but it doesn’t get in the way of transparency or micro-details. Plus, the physical appearance of the SV-661R speaker is quite attractive, and its rather small size makes it easy to place in most listening spaces.”

Sony WH-1000XM2 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones Review
July 5, 2018 Comments Off on Sony WH-1000XM2 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones Review
“I conducted several lengthy listening sessions with the Sony WH-1000XM2, with various musical genres, and watched a variety of video content, from energetic action movies to quiet dramas, wired and wireless, with and without noise cancelation, and there is no doubt these headphones sound wonderful. I would easily rate them near-audiophile quality. No smiley face EQ curve here, unless that’s what you want, as you can easily dial-up whatever EQ settings you like. Sony even added LDAC, which enables hi-res audio, and when your source is not hi-res, DSEE HX is a digital sound enhancement engine, sort of like the audio equivalent of video up-converting.”
