Xavian EPICA CALLIOPE Loudspeakers Review
April 1, 2018 Comments Off on Xavian EPICA CALLIOPE Loudspeakers Review
“It’s a warm, dense, soft, fast and resolving sound, with the emphasis on the first three. We get a big soundstage, but without a clear depth – we have intimate contact with the performers and the foreground is the most important layer. On the other hand, the stage is spread wide, the sound is not squeezed into narrow space in front of us, it breaths and is unrestricted. They can work with any amplifier, although – I in my opinion – they should perform better when provided with more power. Their motto is: naturalness, naturalness and one more time naturalness. If this product came from some exotic Japanese manufacturer, it would cost twice as much, or more.”

“Dynamic slam effect is low to moderate and I really enjoy that presentation, even on tracks I know are very slamming. With great smoothness factor usually can come lacking engaging qualities and sometimes I do feel that to be the case. Sometimes, I want more bite and that is what EQ can give me now and then.”

Grado Headphone Shootout: RS1 vs. RS1e
March 30, 2018 Comments Off on Grado Headphone Shootout: RS1 vs. RS1e
“Twenty-three years ago, in a city far, far away, I purchased the most expensive, mahogany headphones in the world: the Grado RS1. They had been on the market just a year, garnering enormous critical acclaim, and were Grado’s first wood body cans, ever. It took me a year to scrape together the $695 and pay list price for these gems. They were delivered in a mahogany wood presentation case for the first year of production, which I missed getting by a month. Oh well…but they did supply an extension cord as a bonus. (Still not happy about losing out on the case.)
Bel Canto Design Black ACI 600 integrated amplifier $25,000 Review

“I have no idea where my 24/96 FLAC file of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong performing “Summertime” came from, but the sound was delicious. Then again, this duo’s recordings are so resplendent in the midrange that it takes really poor equipment to make them sound less than great—so I was even more convinced of the ACI 600’s excellence by a recording of baritone Matthias Goerne singing “Meine Rose,” from Schumann’s Six Poems, Op.90, accompanied by pianist Markus Hinterhäuser on their recital Einsamkeit (24/96 WAV, Harmonia Mundi HMM 902243/HDtracks). Though I heard less transparency and detail in Goerne’s voice than I do through the far more expensive dCS rig, it was mesmerizingly sweet, warm, and expressive, and the piano sounded convincingly natural.”
