‘ We live in a world of “shock and awe” where the more grandiose or outrageous a product or technology is, the more likely it is to strike an emotional chord with consumers and sell. It seems that, if something is engaging or exotic, even if it is highly flawed, people gravitate to it. We see this every day in the audiophile world where consumers will still spend more than $5,000 on a turntable–a 100-year-old, high-distortion, low-resolution technology–just because it is “high mass” or “machined from aircraft-type materials.”
McIntosh RS100 Review

” It’s a multi-faceted song – one moment beautiful and subtle, and the next brash and wild – but the RS100 emphasises the latter.Cymbals are unforgiving, guitar riffs sound harsh, and vocals grate rather than haunt, making it uncharacteristically hard to enjoy.”

“Word of mouth – fortunately – works quite well and gossip and so-so practices of (ugly) people not saying the source and dubbing/mastering methods (even, in worst cases, declaring as 100% analog tapes their FLAC-sourced music onto reel to reel tape) widely circulates among the die-hard music and audio lovers.”

:If you’re looking for the state of the art in personal listening, look no further than the Audeze LCD-X’s. These planar-magnetic ‘phones have extraordinarily wide and even frequency response, which extends from below 20Hz to far beyond 20kHz, and even at very loud levels they have very low distortion. Infinity co-founder and hi-fi legend Arnie Nudell, who reviewed the LCD-X for TAS, wrote: “It is my opinion that the LCD-X can compete with all of the very best high-end loudspeakers.” That’s a startling conclusion coming from the man who designed the Infinity IRS, one of high-end audio’s most iconic loudspeakers.

FELIKS AUDIO ELISE $699 REVIEW
December 22, 2016 Comments Off on FELIKS AUDIO ELISE $699 REVIEW
“I would not call the Elise’s midrange lush, I’d call the Elise’s midrange on the stock tube setup more like a moderately clinical experience. There is a hefty drop-off, in terms of a weighted sound signature when swapping to my Heron 5, so there can be no doubt that this Elise is the more pure, more clinical sounding of the two.”
ELAC’s Debut B5 Loudspeaker $229 Review
December 21, 2016 Comments Off on ELAC’s Debut B5 Loudspeaker $229 Review
” I set up a pair on stands in my living room, driving them with a moderately powered high quality Class “A” solid state amp and then with my reference Music Reference RM-200 tube amp and used a modestly priced CD player. Yes, the amps are far more costly than the electronics that most likely would get used with these speakers, but they are more likely to show the speakers’ flaws and the sound produced was surprisingly satisfying, “musical” and convincing. So that’s why I say the ELAC B5 is not good “for the money”. They are just good”
