“We wish the level of refinement and detail in the midrange would also extend to the treble though.Slight hardness taints the edges of the perpetual cymbal tapping – something that removing the tweeter’s grille emphasises – and seems more monotonal than it ought.”

Symcon aims to boost vinyl sound quality through new manufacturing process

” While pressing records is significantly faster – an average of 25 seconds compared with up to 40 seconds under the current process – Symcon still needs to reduce this to around 14 seconds to make injection moulding a viable alternative to pressing.
Symcon isn’t the only company looking to produce vinyl with better sound quality.”

First Watt F7 20-watt-per-channel stereo power amplifier- Review
November 20, 2016 Comments Off on First Watt F7 20-watt-per-channel stereo power amplifier- Review
“Late in the review process I brought the F7 over to a fellow audiophile’s home to try with a pair of Quad 57 electrostatic speakers. The sound was vivid and palpably realistic. I’m not a fan of Quad speakers, they can sound uptight and dynamically limited, but the F7 and Quad 57s were delicious together. Putting the F7 aside, and returning to the owner’s much more expensive 280-watts-per-channel ASR Emitter II amplifier, the sound was brighter and bass definition improved, but that uptight Quad sound was back. The F7 connected the musical dots better!”

AUDIO RESEARCH VT 80 POWER AMPLIFIER $7,500 – REVIEW
November 19, 2016 Comments Off on AUDIO RESEARCH VT 80 POWER AMPLIFIER $7,500 – REVIEW
“The rear panel contains both single-ended RCA and balanced XLR input connectors allowing the VT80 to be integrated into virtually any system. In addition to a tube hour meter, there is a 12V trigger and an RS232 port to remotely control operation. 4- and 8-ohm brass and gold binding posts provide secure speaker connections. There is also a switch to engage or defeat an auto-off function, triggered when no input signal is encountered after four hours.”

BURSON AUDIO SOLOIST SL MK2 REVIEW
November 19, 2016 Comments Off on BURSON AUDIO SOLOIST SL MK2 REVIEW
“When I paired this model with the Focal Elear ($999) and my Cowon Plenue M used as a DAC ($899) I’d experienced one of those “Hifi Moments” we audiophiles hunt for years to find. In the track titled In my Fathers House, by an artist called Eric Bibb, album titled Spirit & The Blues…I remembered why I was an audiophile for the first time all year. Of course, after using the Burson, I had swapped to a much more expensive amp to re-experience it, but what is important here is that it started on the Soloist MK2 first. There is a specific point in this track where a new, secondary artist sings into only the stereo-left channel, which caused me to literally jerk my head to the side to see if someone was standing beside me trying to speak to me suddenly.

“The JL Audio combo of Fathom f212v2 and CR-1 strongly benefited the quality, scale, detailing, and full power of orchestral music by enhancing the depth and width of the soundstage while revealing ambience cues”
