Audio Note M10 Signature Preamplifier Review
June 1, 2017 Comments Off on Audio Note M10 Signature Preamplifier Review
” There is always the danger with any piece of equipment with the resolving capability of the Audio Note M10 Signature that the end result will not serve the music but will merely cause the listener to focus on production or other flaws. Fortunately, that is clearly not the case in this instance. By this time in the process, I was finding it very difficult to listen critically and much easier to just enjoy the music.”

” The Audio Physic Step plus is about resolution, and this is delivered. These speakers offer a highly resolving look into the music presented without ever being harsh, strident or fatiguing and that is a tough balance to achieve. It’s obvious that the AP slogan “No Loss of Fine Detail” is delivered on in full.”

Shure SHA900 DAC/HP Amp $999 Review
May 31, 2017 Comments Off on Shure SHA900 DAC/HP Amp $999 Review
” The SHA900’s $1,000 price tag is definitely an audiophile price, but I do not see it as overpriced. It is very well built and the audio is top notch. The better the headphone, the better it sounds — and the DAC conversion is first rate as well. Airy, wide and deep soundstage with abundant detail.”
Paradigm Persona 9H Loudspeaker $35,000 Review

” Finally, I’m not sure that a detailed explanation of the technology behind the ARC-2 system is really needed, and many audiophiles will rely on dealer setup. But, people and speakers do get moved, and high-enders love to tweak and fiddle. Accordingly be aware that you can readily find out the technical details and get some good high-tech reviews by putting “ARC-2 room correction” into your computer search routine.”
Sony Adds Quad DSD to Car Digital Media Player
May 31, 2017 Comments Off on Sony Adds Quad DSD to Car Digital Media Player
“It’s great to see another key player in the audio market supporting Quad Rate DSD playback. Especially when it comes to adding this capability to the car and mobile audio market. It does raise the question about what else Sony has planned in their support of Quad Rate DSD”
64 AUDIO A18 TZAR $3,000 REVIEW
May 30, 2017 Comments Off on 64 AUDIO A18 TZAR $3,000 REVIEW
“The M20 offers a straight -20dB of noise isolation using the APEX technology and the M15, which 64 Audio are pitching as the middle ground between bass attenuation and isolation. The M15 features a combination of dual ambient ports and modified internals to achieve -15dB isolation at 350Hz and an additional 4dB cut at 20Hz to achieve that compromise.”

SIMGOT EN700 REVIEW
May 30, 2017 Comments Off on SIMGOT EN700 REVIEW
“Focus here really is on the upper mids and highs but it’s not as if there is no more bass. Bass quantity still is good and bass sounds powerful with an impactful delivery. It isn’t the tightest or most detailed/layered bass however and it’s more impact/presence than it is quality. The mids and treble are very clear and sound lively with more forward and thinner vocals. Left/right balance and separation is very good and for the $109 price this IEM is going for it has a good level of detail and spaciousness”
