“The Dynaudio 600 XD sound smooth to my ears no matter where I sit on my 3 seat couch. The frequency response measurements correlate very well with what I am hearing. The transient response and stereo phantom image is excellent and correlates well with a time coherent loudspeaker. Transparent keeps coming to my mind. At no time did I hear any noise, hum or distortion from the speakers.”

Totem Acoustic Sky Loudspeaker REVIEW

“Classical music also sounded larger than life if not quite as refined. Daniel Barenboim’s 5 CD set of Schubert Sonatas is a fabulous new collection. When the speakers were placed near the back wall, the sound was infused with some grain. Moving the speakers out into the room cleaned things up nicely. Barenboim’s exquisite touch was heard readily. And when macro dynamics were demanded such as the opening movement of Bruckner’s mighty Ninth Symphony, the power handling of the woofer’s 75 mm voice coil was exceptional. A mighty sound from such a small enclosure. Remarkable.”

” I’m not sure what Taylor Swift has more of: No. 1 singles or ex-boyfriends. Regardless, she knows how to write engaging music, and “Blank Space” is no exception. The song has an airy feel to it and harks back to the year in the title of its host album, 1989, with a synthesized beat that draws you in from the first note. But when the young lady starts to sing, the bass track kicks hard—really hard—and again, the d110s shined brightly. The bass response was tight and articulate, and it didn’t linger in the room for even a moment longer than it was supposed to. Impressive would be an understatement.”

” At the end of the day, there is only one valid question; what do you want and expect from your system/power amplifiers? If energetic, transparent sound, that daringly lurks on the solid state side of affairs for the speed and power, but keeps the harmonic, non over overblown richness of the tube world as raison d’être, then Auris Audio Forte 150 tube monoblocks might light your sensory green lights.”

“Incidentally, many news stories have recently appeared, stating that the new BMW 5 Series sedan is the first vehicle to have Harman’s wireless CarPlay. However I believe that wireless CarPlay is already in a number of vehicles; the new 5 Series is only the most recent. Your recent model BMW might already have wireless CarPlay. Also, the Alpine iLX-107 head unit has the technology.”

HD6XX FROM MASSDROP $200 REVIEW

March 11, 2017 Comments Off on HD6XX FROM MASSDROP $200 REVIEW

READ HERE

” Oh, come on! This is a brand new HD650 for only $199. It probably has a better paint job as well that won’t decay in a few years time, as all HD650’s of old tend to. This is quite literally the best open back headphone deal that exists and I hope it forces Sennheiser to wake up and go back to their roots. I’ve cried for years and felt supremely lonely in the fact that I am a musicality buff and personally prefer fun over accuracy in my headphones. It seems like the HiFi market shifted to mostly natural/neutral sound signatures and forgot about the classic, musical sounding headphones from yesteryear, the HD650 being the poster boy of that class of listeners.”

Oppo HA-2SE $299 Review

“Much of that perception of being veiled on the HA-2 comes with the HA-2SE sounding much more open and spacious in the midrange performance with better spacing for vocal reproduction than previously possible on the HA-2. Spatial cues are more tangible on the HA-2SE, instrumental placement and imaging a touch sharper, as well as sibilance being well under control. This is much more vivid or lifelike midrange response than what came before”
