T+A ELEKTROAKUSTIK AMP 8 POWER AMPLIFIER
December 28, 2016 Comments Off on T+A ELEKTROAKUSTIK AMP 8 POWER AMPLIFIER
“This track also highlights the excellent transient response of the AMP 8. Shostakovich is not something to be taken lightly and any diminishing of the force of the orchestra, whether in terms of leading edge attack or the weight of the playing, undermines the intensity of the piece. The AMP 8 – in the context of an excellent and matching system – retained this energy and the fast attack and decay needed to cope with an orchestra at full stretch made this a welcome addition to the home system. In all other aspects, that ‘first, do no harm’ approach pays off, because in all other perspectives the amplifier is simply doing its job without exaggeration or diminution. This is a good amplifier!”

HIFIMAN HE1000 VERSION 2 HEADPHONES $2999 REVIEW
December 27, 2016 Comments Off on HIFIMAN HE1000 VERSION 2 HEADPHONES $2999 REVIEW
“Tonally, the new V2 is a more energetic and intimate signature than the slightly laid back and darker V1. The soundstage has marginally narrowed in comparison to the V1 but on the flipside, the presentation is more involving. Imaging on the V2 is more precise and a lot more focused sucking you right in. This is a much more attention grabbing presentation overall.

” There isn’t oceans of space, though that’s neither a surprise nor a major criticism given the Mercury 7.2s’ stature, but the detail is enough that we can pick out the instruments as textures build and don’t feel we’re lacking any parts.”

German Physiks Unlimited MK II Loudspeaker Review
December 27, 2016 Comments Off on German Physiks Unlimited MK II Loudspeaker Review
“The strong points of the German Physiks Unlimited MK II are many, one of which is its huge soundstage. But it also has the uncanny ability to elicit an emotional response when it reproduces the sound of an orchestra. The omni-directional sound places each instrument and group of instruments within this huge soundstage, and this soundstage is occupied by extremely realistic sounding instruments to create the illusion that one is hearing a facsimile of an orchestra in miniature. It does this by creating a three-dimensional sound of the instruments and groups of instruments that occupy this soundstage”

Naim Mu-So Qb Review
December 26, 2016 Comments Off on Naim Mu-So Qb Review
“When was the last time you had a major experience just turning a component on? You might think I’m crazy, but I highly suggest turning on your Qb in the dark the first time you power it up. Naim’s app makes it easy to control from your smart phone, but you’ll want to give that big, weighted volume control a spin. You’ll want to get up, walk across the room and interact with the Qb, it’s that cool.

” The bass notes of instruments were highlighted to such extent that made the ensemble seem more energetic than ever. Barber’s vocalization as rendered by the Nordost Tyr 2 cable system had appreciable ambience and warmth.”
