1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones $100 Review

“These impressions were made with the stock silicone tips. Please keep in mind the sound could change dramatically depending on the type of tips you use and the actual fit with your ears. With the supplied foam tips, the sound becomes much airier and the background blackens. This could account for some listeners who claim it sounds like an analytical IEM. I preferred the more tonally dense sound of silicon tips so reviewed in this configuration. Like many IEMs, the Triple Driver sonically transforms depending on the tips used.”
Pass Labs XA60.8 Mono Amplifiers Review

“Like all reviews, I hope that this one nails down one important point that bears repeating again and again: no audio system or component is perfect, even within the limited realm of home audio reproduction. It’s all about component matching to best meet each listener’s perception of perfection, whatever that may be. It’s all about trade-offs, and which ones are most acceptable to you, the listener.”
Von Schweikert Audio Endeavor E-5 Loudspeaker $35,000 Review
October 23, 2017 Comments Off on Von Schweikert Audio Endeavor E-5 Loudspeaker $35,000 Review
“I enjoyed my time with the Von Schweikert Audio Endeavor E-5s immensely. The E-5s meet their design objectives and offer a majestic, full-scale representation of complex and dynamic musical material. Although they will most certainly perform well in a large space, they manage the feat in a more typical, less capacious domestic listening environment. The pack of contending high-end loudspeakers begins to thin when you reach the $30,000 price point, and the VSA Endeavor E-5s should definitely be on the short list for anyone with $30–$40k budgeted for speakers.”
NAD C 338 Hybrid Digital Wireless Streaming DAC-Integrated Amplifier $649 Review

“I found myself making much more use of my Google Play Music subscription than ever — the C 338 made it so easy and satisfying. I heard Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth, and recognized in her recording of concertos by Albinoni, Haydn, Hummel, and Neruda (256kbps MP3, Simax Classics/Google Play Music) her light touch, with just enough air to fill the hall without ever seeming forced, that I’d heard from her in concert at the 2015 Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. The C 338 communicated the essence of her style in the Haydn with graceful interplay between the soloist and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra (in this concerto led by Terje Tønnesen). In the first-movement cadenza, it reproduced Helseth’s wide dynamic range and clarity of tone. Of course, only so much can be done with compressed streaming services, but the C 338 provided as good an experience as I’ve enjoyed with high-bitrate MP3s.”
KEF R900 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
October 22, 2017 Comments Off on KEF R900 FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
“Mids, and especially vocals, are pushed ever so slightly forward in the presentation. Highs are very well extended, but don’t push too far forward into the mix to be overbearing. They assist with excellent detail reproduction, and are well controlled. With the right placement, the imaging these boxes can produce is superb. They will reveal the flaws in recordings, and will reproduce artefacts in lesser digital files – low bitrate MP3s, beware.”
PS AUDIO BHK SIGNATURE 300 MONO AMPLIFIERS $14,998 Review
October 22, 2017 Comments Off on PS AUDIO BHK SIGNATURE 300 MONO AMPLIFIERS $14,998 Review
As for power conditioning, PS Audio naturally recommend a P10 conditioner just for the amps. Worse, they tell me that one P10 per mono is optimal. Yikes! I use a P5 for my front end and find it an important contributor to my rig’s sound. I never power my amps from it since I found it whitewashed the bass out of my Spectrons and anyway, PS Audio suggest the P5 would not quite cut it powering these monos. I do routinely use a two socket Audience Adept Response for my mono amps, and it has proved excellent with every amp I’ve tried. However, I am hard pushed to tell if it has any real benefits with the BHK 300s which seem to sound very similar plugged into it or not, particularly with the Wireworlds. What this tells you about the reaction of these amps to other conditioners, I can’t say, but it does suggest the PS Audio BHK 300s are able to deal with the vagaries of typical house wiring quite well”
