Campfire Vega Review
September 1, 2017 Comments Off on Campfire Vega Review
“The high frequencies are sussed out in smooth but detailed manner. They help define the overall signature not quite as “fun” in the exaggerated manner, but more of a level-headed response to excitement and more importantly, a solid take on reality. Not fatiguing in the least, reach upward is decent with doses of “special”, depending on source material .The mids may be a spectacular as the Andromeda, but the emphasized bass shifts perception away from the vocals. This isn’t so say that the low end covers the mids in any way, but rather produces a slightly different voicing between the two. Retrieval of information is the centerpiece here, with the bumps and valleys of FR playing second fiddle to the overall intent of piece. The feel is dynamic as the driver suggests, but also lively with a dash of spice on either end of the spectrum. It’s a hair less dry than what one might expect from your typical BA construct, with layers of organic response pieced together for a tack sharp image that makes its way to the furthest edges of the frame.”

ROKSAN RADIUS 7 PINK REVIEW
August 31, 2017 Comments Off on ROKSAN RADIUS 7 PINK REVIEW
“Compared to a more expensive VPI Prime, the Radius does surprisingly well. This is a better comparison than it might first seem as both use unipivot tonearms. The two go largely toe-to-toe at the upper and midrange points, but where the Prime pulls ahead is in the bass. While the Roksan delivers a clean, taut bass, the VPI delivers a clean, taut, and deep bass. The Roksan is not bass light though, indeed, partnered as might be appropriate given the Radius’ price, the lack of overhang may be better suited to systems than more stentorian designs, which can sound stodgy in context. It’s just that the decay of the left hand of a piano seems to be less noticeable on the Radius.”
SONY WM1Z WALKMAN – REVIEW
August 31, 2017 Comments Off on SONY WM1Z WALKMAN – REVIEW
” The Sony WM1Z gives the fullest and most complete bass I’ve heard from a DAP. It’s a huge bass response but neither midbass or subbass stands out in the recordings, unless the recording has such a trait in itself. It has a wonderful bass control and balance in terms of that, while continuously giving the body. Lows feel so complete all the time and that way you hear an atmospheric sound, especially with live recordings.”

Mytek Brooklyn DAC Review
August 30, 2017 Comments Off on Mytek Brooklyn DAC Review
“The Mytek Brooklyn is a great DAC for consumers seeking a lot of features and functions in one box. There’s not much it doesn’t do which is fantastic at its price point. With MQA on the precipice of becoming mainstream, the Brooklyn represents a great value proposition for those who want to take full advantage of this high-quality format. I used the Brooklyn as my main DAC for several months and would describe it as an above-average performer across the board. If you seek good performance with a full arsenal of features, you can confidently consider the Mytek Brooklyn for your stereo audio system”
MAGICO S1 MK II FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
August 29, 2017 Comments Off on MAGICO S1 MK II FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
“The Magico S1 Mk II is a product of superlatives. You can’t express that without appearing to be a rabid fan of the product, because if you like loudspeakers that are neutral, you are a fan of the product, and if you’ve heard the original S1, you’re an even bigger fan of the S1 Mk II. So, yes, the superlatives come with the territory. The Magico S1 Mk II is, quite simply, outstanding. Very highly recommended!
