“In determining how a speaker works in my room, I throw all genres of familiar music at it and try to sense how well they compare to my reference pair. I also tend to buy new music regularly so it’s possible during any review to hear some recordings for the first time on the review product before hearing them on my reference. I find this combination of listening experiences to be most useful when trying to evaluate what I am hearing.”

“Unfortunately, with a purist tonality and setup comes a bit of a kick factor in terms of ‘wince’ and shoulder shrugging dynamism. The MX4 can slam a bit too rough if the track calls for it, so be careful with volume needs on tracks that aren’t recording so nicely, or if the track just happens to be showcase excessively hard piano key strikes, or drum high hat crashes.”

ASTELL & KERN KANN DIGITAL AUDIO PLAYER $999 REVIEW

“Still, audiophiles wanted more, including mass storage and DSD support. Astell & Kern has answered that need with the KANN, and one-upped most other players, including their own models by adding a powerful headphone amp built in. Other digital audio players were portable, but if you wanted to use them with higher quality, inefficient headphones, it meant strapping on an outboard amplifier, with cords to attach the player and the amplifier. That was pretty much a pain for users. The KANN gives us high quality, lots of music format support, and you can plug in just about any headphone.”

“Nordost’s SuperFlatline Speaker Cable consists of 16, 23 AWG, solid core, flat, rectangular copper conductors. The flat geometry of this cable not only increases signal transfer speed, but also makes it possible to run lengths under carpets for easy and discreet installation. Additionally, SuperFlatline employs an innovative precision FEP extrusion process, which lowers the capacitance and increases the bandwidth of the cable dramatically, enhancing accuracy in signal transfer.”

“These Japanese cans deliver an unbelievably close sound. If you have ever listened to, thought about or searched for loudspeakers offering a “here and now” sound, these headphones will be the equivalent of finding tha ultimate solution – you are “there” when the sound is created. For a moment, you might feel like there is too much going on, like that’s an exaggeration – not only compared to the HE-1000 v2, but also to the Edition X v2, let alone the Sennheiser HD800. Wait a moment though, listen to some records, let yourself get used to this sound in your head, and you will realize that it is something completely new, fresh and unique.”

Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier-DAC Review

“Considering all its features and configuration options, the STR Integrated has more in common with a pre-pro or AVR than with most integrateds. Thankfully, Anthem has provided an extensive menu system, visible on a large, dimmable color display that’s easy to read and to use. Up to 30 virtual inputs can be separately named, specified, and assigned to any physical input, and the display will then show the selected input, data type, and sampling frequency, and whether ARC is engaged. One cool feature: When you cycle through the inputs, the display momentarily shows not only the selected input’s name, but a large image of the type of connector used for that input — it makes identification easier. The Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display can be set to show only the volume level, displayed in large characters that can be easily read from across the room.”
