OBRAVO EAMT-1A REVIEW
December 15, 2016 Comments Off on OBRAVO EAMT-1A REVIEW
” You do get a warmer, smoother and slower sound so if that’s your thing, you know where to go. From the Luxury & Precision L3Pro you get a slightly bigger and looser bass but good width and depth with overall. The sound is very rich with the right amount of air. The L&P DAPs are known for their exceptional sound quality and this is no different with the L3PRO. Too bad we can’t try the balanced output. L&P still needs to work on the UI urgently though.
ELAC Discovery Series DS-S101-G Music Server $1099 Review
December 14, 2016 Comments Off on ELAC Discovery Series DS-S101-G Music Server $1099 Review
“For a more level playing field I plugged the AudioQuest DragonFly Red into the microRendu and was presented with a more lit up sound as compared to the Discovery’s analog output where music felt more alive and punchy. I’m not talking about night and day differences or even good and bad differences, rather subtle shifts in sound that may or may not matter to you, your system, and your room. All told, I kept thinking—Wow, all of this sounds really good and I’m using the Discovery to make it all work; no server or computer needed.”

INNOUS ZENITH MKII MUSIC SERVER REVIEW
December 14, 2016 Comments Off on INNOUS ZENITH MKII MUSIC SERVER REVIEW
“Library management is a fundamental part of server design and Innuos has gone further than most in its attempts to make this easier. It could, and undoubtedly will, be refined over time, but so long as you let it do the sorting for you – and look at those reports when they come in – the ZENith is capable of making this side of things pretty straightforward. On the sound quality side, it is very capable indeed – clearly more so than the competition I had to hand thanks one presumes to the SSD storage. This does limit absolute capacity, but you can always go for the 2TB option for an extra £500, and even then the ZENith MkII is the least expensive SSD server on the market. All in all, it’s a very hard act to beat for anyone looking to push streaming quality to the max.”
CAMPFIRE AUDIO VEGA REVIEW
December 14, 2016 Comments Off on CAMPFIRE AUDIO VEGA REVIEW
“There is around a 3-5dB difference in the sub-bass response over the BA Andromeda. In short, the quantity and forwardness of the sub-bass to bass performance of the Vega is greater and you are going to feel that right up to 50Hz. There is the tiniest bit of leveling and dropping off 30HZ and below but this is entirely normal.
Sony Walkman NW-ZX100HN Hi-Res Music Player Review
December 11, 2016 Comments Off on Sony Walkman NW-ZX100HN Hi-Res Music Player Review
” The biggest surprise was the Sony MDR-V6, a 45-ohm recording-studio favorite whose prominent treble is a challenge to source components. It proved an excellent mate for the Walkman, delivering my top orchestral reference track—Beethoven’s Fifth, as performed by Carlos Kleiber and the Vienna Philharmonic (FLAC 88.2/24)—with a vivid tonal balance and high listening comfort
GOLDENEAR TECHNOLOGY SUPERSUB X SUBWOOFER REVIEW
December 11, 2016 Comments Off on GOLDENEAR TECHNOLOGY SUPERSUB X SUBWOOFER REVIEW
“The GoldenEar SuperSub X is an excellent little subwoofer, full stop. It gives one a large measure of the performance available from the bigger sibling XXL model, but in an even more petite package. GoldenEar has used some novel thinking and engineering design work to obtain the performance parameters of a traditionally larger sub from something small enough to make deep bass accessible for people who might be otherwise space-challenged. ”
Peachtree Audio nova300 Review
December 11, 2016 Comments Off on Peachtree Audio nova300 Review
” Moving from totally electronic music to music that was created with only guitar, bass, and drums, I put on the Steve Hoffman remaster of Rage Against The Machine’s self-titled debut album. Listening to Zack De La Rocha scream “Fr-e-e-e-d-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-m, yeah right” through the nova300 and my TADs was excellent. Track ten, titled Freedom, is full of great musicianship all around. The bass lines throughout, the guitar solos, the heavy drums, and unmistakable vocals can all be heard as distinct parts of the whole. On some systems the instruments get lost in a ball of noise and it sounds like your mom is listening to it and saying, “Turn that noise down.” Not the case with the nova300. The amplifier has great control and enough power to reproduce very demanding tracks on somewhat demanding loudspeakers. ”
VIOLECTRIC V280 HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $1649. REVIEW
December 10, 2016 Comments Off on VIOLECTRIC V280 HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $1649. REVIEW
“The sound staging ability of the V280 was brilliant with the Focal flagship headphones. The V280 has a wonderful rich tone that envelops the listener while never sounding slow. Frank’s voice comes back alive and The Count Basie Orchestra has truly never sounded better”
