DAN D’AGOSTINO MASTER AUDIO SYSTEMS MOMENTUM INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER £45,000 REVIEW
December 16, 2016 Comments Off on DAN D’AGOSTINO MASTER AUDIO SYSTEMS MOMENTUM INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER £45,000 REVIEW
“The D’Agostino Momentum Integrated is one of those rare products that stands out even among highly-respected rivals. It’s one of those designs where the only thing better than the Momentum is more Momentum; a move to separate preamp and mono amps – even the pre and stereo amp might be a bit of a sideways move rather than a leap forward. If you are looking for what is quite simply the best integrated amplifier out there – and have the shelves to take it – the Momentum Integrated is the heavyweight champion. Very highly recommended!”

NUFORCE UDAC5 REVIEW
December 16, 2016 Comments Off on NUFORCE UDAC5 REVIEW
” That the uDAC5 does what it does and powers what it powers from such a small, and well-built a package, is incredible. Its RCA and coaxial leads are anchored better than a number of high-end desktop DACs I’ve used. Each is bolted down, and fitted secretly in its niche. Labels are legible and logical. The front plate of my unit bends out from the body slightly and the attenuator plays a bit, grinding slightly against the case. But this is a 200$ do-it-all DAC that’s smaller than an AK100. Like the BE6i, its engraved logo is perfectly machined and brilliantly positioned. Apart from the awful Hi-Res logo sticker across its top, Nuforce uDAC5 branding is top notch.”

Hsu Research VTF-2 mk5 Subwoofer Review
December 16, 2016 Comments Off on Hsu Research VTF-2 mk5 Subwoofer Review
” . Overall, the enclosure is a simple and sturdy design. More bracing might be welcome, but the thick paneling should compensate for that to an extent. I never felt any sidewall vibration or detected panel resonance in my time with the VTF-2 mk5. One note about the port and included port plugs is it can be a nuisance to remove the plugs if they are pushed in too far; make sure there is an edge of the port plug available from which to grab them to pull them out. They do not have to be shoved in very far to create an air-tight seal.”

Sennheiser’s ultimate statement design, the HE1 headphone and amplifier.$55,000 Review

” he first thing you notice is the uber clarity, no other headphone in my experience comes even close. The music’s impulses and emotional power feel stronger. To fully appreciate the HE 1, you must listen in a dead quiet room so you can hear deep into the music. You will be practically there with the musicians, so with the best recordings you’ll hear the acoustic “space” of the studio or concert venue, but any background noise like the whoosh of your room’s air conditioning or outside traffic roar will mask some of the HE 1’s resolution of fine detail.”

REL S/3 SHO subwoofer Review
December 15, 2016 Comments Off on REL S/3 SHO subwoofer Review
“The REL’s superior tautness and articulation is in evidence here, adding that extra dimension to the aural mix without sounding disconnected. And if you regularly listen to music on your system with a subwoofer in play, those attributes translate into beautifully poised and eloquent bass augmentation.”

“The main source is the Kronos Pro Ltd turntable, Vitus Signature Phonostage, Cello Suite electronics, and Wilson Audio XLF loudspeakers. You could expect top end audio presentation, for sure. The soundstage was enveloping, and the presentation was engaging and involving. The music could easily sweep you off to the recording venue.”
