CYRUS AUDIO ONE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
June 9, 2017 Comments Off on CYRUS AUDIO ONE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
“The fact that Cyrus updated the firmware several months after the One’s late summer launch implies that the company plans ongoing improvement, which is great. But more significantly, few brands have succeeded with Class D amplification as Cyrus has in making the One such an entertaining and well equipped amplifier at a reasonable price. The remote may be small enough to lose in minutes, but the app is a free upgrade that makes the One much more ergonomic. Add this to scorching sound and you have a product that should put this brand back at the top of the value for money tree
BURMESTER 099 LINE PREAMPLIFIER REVIEW
June 9, 2017 Comments Off on BURMESTER 099 LINE PREAMPLIFIER REVIEW
The 099 is a refined performer, capable of being sat in front of for hours on end without fatigue. This is not code for ‘dull’; it’s detailed and dynamic, and – coupled to the right power amplifier – can handle the loud end of the volume control without introducing any kind of compression or distortion. In fact, were it not for the refinement, the effortless ability for this preamp to push any amplifier to its limits could make it a brute force design. As it is, the 099 is the archetypal ‘mail’d fist in a velvet glove’ design, with that combination of beefy grip over the rest of the system coupled with a sense of grace and charm as it stays in complete control.”

ONKYO DP-S1 RUBATO REVIEW
June 8, 2017 Comments Off on ONKYO DP-S1 RUBATO REVIEW
” I can even shave a song forward or back to precisely the second I left off. A vertical bar shows where you are in the song and as long as your finger is on the scrobbler, is always visible. Tapping anywhere on the album art pauses the player. When the DP-S1 is locked, inadvertent changes in attenuator position can be muted. Better yet, the attenuator doesn’t commandeer the touch screen, possibly forcing jumps up or down when all you wanted to do was change tracks or browse music. The only DSP available when playing DSD files is the low-pass filter. The Onkyo DP-S1 doesn’t properly do gapless, but gaps are small, pop-less, and even between DSD files, not terribly long.”

Classé Audio Sigma 2200i Integrated Amplifier $5500 Review
June 8, 2017 Comments Off on Classé Audio Sigma 2200i Integrated Amplifier $5500 Review
“However, despite these setbacks, the Sigma 2200i was not a one-trick pony. It has an extra surprise up its sleeve. Connecting via the Ethernet connection to a router makes the Sigma 2200i a network player via Apple Airplay and DLNA. I could use my iPhone to play both my iTunes and Tidal libraries wirelessly. And best of all, hitting the Airplay button on my phone automatically moved the Sigma 2200i from whatever input it was set on to Network. No muss, no fuss, just fast musical pleasure.”
Building a Reference Grade Listening Room
June 8, 2017 Comments Off on Building a Reference Grade Listening Room
” This HVAC system is a closed loop… the main air duct emerges from the fan/heat unit and goes through an electronic air purifier, then is separated into four outlet ducts… each of which travel to four different outlet vents on the ceiling. Each of the four outlet ducts has three 90 degree bends to reduce any fan noise. With four outlet ducts the velocity can be reduced. There are two cold air return vents located at the bottom of the front bass traps (these cold air return ducts act as part of the bass trap). These cold air returns are then ducted back to the heat/fan unit. With the door closed and no music playing the room is completely quiet… not a sound… when the HVAC unit comes on you can just barely tell it is on… any music or conversation makes it impossible to hear the HVAC.”

“the Classé Sigma 2200i has abundant connectivity for all of your digital needs, handles audio and video well, and the lack of A-to-D then D-to-A conversion came as close to a “straight wire with gain” as I’ve experienced in my system. As long as you’re not exclusive with analog as source material, the Sigma 2200i can be the answer for all of your music needs. It will be a dream machine for many all-digital audiophiles.”
