MrSpeakers AEON Flow Open-Back Headphone $799 Review
January 19, 2018 Comments Off on MrSpeakers AEON Flow Open-Back Headphone $799 Review
“Once they’re on your head, they’re pretty difficult to take off. With its superbly warm-blooded and soulful sound, I went through more playlists than usual without even realizing it. They’re tonally engaging while being fun, accurate, and largely genre-independent. A very sonically-controlled headphone where voices never get lost and music never sounds congested no matter what you’re listening to.”
ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-M2 $1,000 REVIEW
January 19, 2018 Comments Off on ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-M2 $1,000 REVIEW
“I only have my trusty Vorzuge Pure ii amp for reference but what I hear is just what you’d expect to hear from such an honest and milky sounding amp. I have plugged my Pure ii into a few devices with some adverse effects. This is not the case with the AR-M2. It’s exactly how it should be. Everything that holds true for the character of the Pure ii the sound is simply there without any mess or sudden schizophrenic changes.”
Kipnis’ outer limits $6 millions theater
January 19, 2018 Comments Off on Kipnis’ outer limits $6 millions theater
“Thus, from the deepest deep bass (10 hertz) up to the extreme high-frequency range (100 kilohertz), the KSS is the most full-range system I’ve ever heard—and felt. The speakers are fed by a well-balanced combination of audiophile solid-state and vacuum-tube amplifiers. The KSS is astonishing in the way it delivers power, but with 11,315 very high-quality watts on tap, that’s hardly surprising. Not only can it play ungodly loud, the KSS sounds phenomenal while doing so and never hurt my tender ears. The theater is big but far from huge. Its vaulted ceiling ranges from 8 feet high at the rear end to 16 feet at the screen end of the room (which is 26.5 feet wide and 33 feet long). The 18-foot screen fulfilled my IMAX fantasies, and the projector’s va-va-voom color and brilliant light were transformational. I just tried to take it all in as I scribbled notes, afraid I might miss some of the juicier details.”
Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon Turntable with 10cc Evolution Tonearm $4000 Review
January 18, 2018 Comments Off on Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon Turntable with 10cc Evolution Tonearm $4000 Review
“Many years ago, when I was about 14, my father took me to see Count Basie and His Orchestra in concert. To this day, I remember the physical presence of the sound of the horn section, the way it pressed on my chest with a sense of gravity. Recorded music can’t come close to replicating that much air moving in concert, of course, but with the RPM 10 Carbon in my system, it came closer than I’d ever heard it. The trombones had that power-in-silence thing I mentioned just now, but they also had a weight and density that all by themselves made the case for the RPM 10 Carbon.”

Cayin N5ii Review
January 17, 2018 Comments Off on Cayin N5ii Review
“The soundstage of the new Cayin is exceptionally wide. One of the biggest I have on-hand. And it illustrates depth better than any of the lower-budget gear I’ve tried. Dynamism is remarkable, as well. This is a lively f**ker and will immediately engage you. What really separates the N5ii from the pack, though, is its gift for natural, clear, high resolution audio. There are DAPs which do one or two of those three things better, but Cayin manages them all, and on a level of proficiency you have no right to expect at this price point.”
MONITOR AUDIO SILVER 300 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
January 17, 2018 Comments Off on MONITOR AUDIO SILVER 300 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
“This is a high-end magazine, and I am used to handling loudspeakers with speaker terminals that cost less than the Monitor Audio Silver 300. And yet, this is every inch a high-end loudspeaker. It is more set to the entertainment-delivery end of the high-end world (rather than the overly cerebral), but the point of high-end shouldn’t just be about the price tag or how heavy the loudspeaker is. It should be about the sound, and it’s in the sound quality department where the Silver 300 scores so highly. ”
Sennheiser Momentum Free Review
January 17, 2018 Comments Off on Sennheiser Momentum Free Review
“At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the Momentum Frees are yet another fine addition to Sennheiser’s Momentum family.If you want wireless convenience combined with excellent sound quality, this is another pair you’ll seriously want to consider.”
AURENDER A10 STREAMER/SERVER $5,500 REVIEW
January 16, 2018 Comments Off on AURENDER A10 STREAMER/SERVER $5,500 REVIEW
“The A10 is a sophisticated product that makes enjoying music simple. It is a true reference level piece. For the Headphone Aficionado, it may be the missing piece to a system that is reference but does not require a desk full of gear and a tangle of expensive cables. The A10 performed beautifully with open and closed cans, Planar Magnetic, Dynamic, whatever I paired with it and for you two-channel speaker users it also worked perfectly as a Pre-amp with my amp and speakers. It has an excellent DAC. It can replace several items in your system in one beautiful box. What’s not to like? Highly Recommended!”
