SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Review
May 13, 2018 Comments Off on SVS PB-4000 Subwoofer Review
“You can turn the low pass filter on or off depending on whether you’re using the sub with a Low Frequency Effect (LFE) channel. If the low pass filter is on then you can set the frequency at which the sub crosses over with the main speakers and you can adjust the slope at which the low pass filter rolls off (the default is 12dB). There’s also a Phase control, which allows you to shift the timing of the subwoofer output to align with the main speakers or additional subwoofers, and a Polarity control that allows you to reverse the electrical polarity from positive (default) to negative if necessary. The Room Gain Compensation control allows you to adjust for excessive sound wave density in smaller rooms by reducing the bass at either -6 or -12 dB per an octave, below a frequency that is adjustable from 25 to 40 Hz. You do this by turning the room gain compensation on or off and adjusting the high pass frequency and the adjustment slope (12dB is the default setting).”
TriangleArt Maestro turntable Review

“As I moved into more and more different kinds of music, I continued to be impressed with how my system sounded with the Maestro turntable. It produced deep, rich, powerful bass that never had any overhang. Performances came across with a good beat and sounded alive with a presence that made listening to music a real joy. These are rare traits in any source component. Without a doubt, the TriangleART Maestro Turntable is a very fine turntable at any price.”

Emotiva TA-100 integrated amplifier Review
May 11, 2018 Comments Off on Emotiva TA-100 integrated amplifier Review
“Next I brought out harder to drive speakers, namely my Ferrari red KEF LS50 bookshelf monitors. The TA-100 sounded fine, so I compared it with PS Audio’s newly revised Sprout integrated amp, which is now called the Sprout 100, it’s $599. With David Bowie’s final album, Blackstar, the Sprout 100 was clearer, and the sound of each instrument was more fully formed than what I heard from the TA-100. That amp sounded somewhat flatter and more two-dimensional than the more expensive Sprout 100, I’ll review it soon.”
2018 Editors’ Choice Awards: Loudspeakers $100,000 and up
May 11, 2018 Comments Off on 2018 Editors’ Choice Awards: Loudspeakers $100,000 and up
“Loudspeakers are often described as being a window on the performance. The best of them remove the window (and walls) entirely in an effort to place you within the performance, capture you, and let you explore—holistically or analytically—the essence of the composition as well as the individual musical lines. The Berlina RC 9 fits the description of the best of them. This is not because of its price (which is in part the result of using incredibly expensive pure-diamond midrange and tweeter drivers); it is because of the consistently stable pianissimo-to-fortississimo resolution, clarity, and dynamic capabilities methodically crafted into its DNA. This loudspeaker plays like a chameleon to music reproduction, says AJ, as well as to the source and amplification components in front of it.”

“You might lose a little in terms of ultimate fidelity but that’s more than compensated for by the well-balanced, musical sound. We just enjoy listening to music more when it’s fed through this box.”

Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE Power Conditioner Review
May 10, 2018 Comments Off on Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE Power Conditioner Review
“The Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE is the quietest and most transparent power conditioner we’ve ever heard. As a consequence, micro/macro details are in full view without losing cohesion, texture, and body. You basically hear more of the music without losing musicality. It provided a new level of clarity, insight, dynamics, and authority while being smooth and euphoric. It is simply an enthralling piece of gear, inside and out.”
