Paradigm Persona 7F Loudspeakers Review
November 15, 2017 Comments Off on Paradigm Persona 7F Loudspeakers Review
“Aron pointed out that the Atrias painted more sharply defined soundstage images and that, with certain tracks, the inherent warmth of their sound appealed to him more than did the sound of the Persona 7Fs. On the other hand, by reproducing the sound of drums with greater “dynamic drive and depth” while still sounding “light on their feet,” the Paradigms took the lead. Furthermore, when he turned up the volume, “things changed.” For instance, with recordings of acoustic piano, the Persona 7Fs were able to play “louder while maintaining their ease, neutrality, and realism,” while the Atrias “sounded sharper and more aggressive.” And bass-wise, it was no contest: “The Atrias simply couldn’t compete here. The Persona 7F’s robust twin 8.5” woofers and bigger cabinet volume let it dig considerably deeper in the bass and with greater control than the Atria’s single 9” woofer.”

PIONEER N-70AE NETWORK AUDIO PLAYER REVIEW
November 14, 2017 Comments Off on PIONEER N-70AE NETWORK AUDIO PLAYER REVIEW
“There’s a huge thwack to the opening drumbeats, just as much intent behind the wavering electronica underneath, and dynamic range to Dan Bejar’s vocal. There’s a dynamic ease to the acoustic version’s bare arrangement, and a sense of purpose hanging onto the vocal’s eerie echo.”
TRAFOMATIC AUDIO ELYSIUM POWER AMPLIFIER 120.000 EUR REVIEW
November 14, 2017 Comments Off on TRAFOMATIC AUDIO ELYSIUM POWER AMPLIFIER 120.000 EUR REVIEW
‘The Elysium feather like lightness ability was quickly revealed with the wonderful Hans-Martin Linde & Konrad Ragossnig: Musik für Flöte und Gitarre. As non-complex as baroque music might seems, its not! There is always a hidden mosaic structure behind the baroque’s modesty. Its actually the purity, that is never easily chased within the high-end audio reproduction realms. Especially in the ultra-fi domain fortitudinous nature is more then desired and Trafomatic Audio Elysium managed to act homogeneously within baroque elementariness. The interplay of guitar and flute creates particular vibrancy and note overlapping, that demands more then typical high-end audio amp’s gestalt in order to form the objective and fully believable illusion. Elysium remarkable straightforwardness and naturalness, had encapsulated naiveté and sophistication with impressive classicality, that not only heavily stood out of the crowd, but have also created a norm of itself.”

NAD C 388 Digital Hybrid Streaming Integrated Amplifier With DAC, Streamer $1599 -Review
November 13, 2017 Comments Off on NAD C 388 Digital Hybrid Streaming Integrated Amplifier With DAC, Streamer $1599 -Review
“NAD’s C 388 definitely lives up to the NAD name and reputation for affordable high performance audio equipment. Many components that try and include even less functionality become deficient with regards to one element or another, yet this one seemed to excel at all of them, especially when you factor in the relatively low price point for the basic model without the additional BluOS card. Even with the BluOS card, the price represents quite a bargain in my opinion. If you are budget minded or want a great deal of functionality in one package, you owe it to yourself to put this on a short list of possible candidates. I know that I am.”

Mytek Brooklyn DAC + REVIEW
November 13, 2017 Comments Off on Mytek Brooklyn DAC + REVIEW
” Like its predecessor (Brooklyn DAC), the DAC + can handle an amazing diversity of digital files and formats: PCM up to 32/384, DSD up to quadruple rate (DSD 256), and if you desire, at the push of an ‘enabling’ button it can fully ‘unfold’ (using internal hardware) high-resolution MQA including Master Files streamed from Tidal. (Mytek was MQA’s first standalone-hardware technology partner.) Digital inputs include USB, S/PDIF (coaxial), Toslink/ADAT, and AES/EBU.”
