Pass Labs XA30.8 Stereo Amplifier Reviewed
October 24, 2016 Comments Off on Pass Labs XA30.8 Stereo Amplifier Reviewed
” After spending over six months with the Pass Labs XA30.8 Class A stereo amplifier, I wonder, “Will I ever again purchase another two-channel amplifier?” There is no doubt the XA30.8 comes with several notable drawbacks, but few are performance related–and to me, that is the most important criteria. The performance of the XA30.8 is so special that HTR publisher Jerry Del Colliano and I have joked at times that Nelson Pass should consider renaming this amplifier the XM30.8, with the “M” standing for “magical.” The Pass Labs XA30.8 is the best amplifier”
Streaming Music: Good or Bad?
October 23, 2016 Comments Off on Streaming Music: Good or Bad?
” I love to use these services to make my own compilations on tape. I don’t care if it has the ultimate sound quality as long as I can find the music I want and for the music style I like, Spotify Premium offers the best selection. Where in the world could you access thousands of tracks in a matter of minutes and build your own playlist from just one source? If you take into consideration that in order to make a mix open reel tape of 95 minutes, you’ll need several CD’s or Records, for just $9.99 a month Spotify is hard to beat.”

Violectric V281 Headphone $2299 – Review
October 23, 2016 Comments Off on Violectric V281 Headphone $2299 – Review
“Even though the Violectric V281 amp comes with 2 single-ended outputs, it performs best in its balanced mode configuration. The staging becomes wider and three-dimensional with better layering and separation. While the SE output is not average per se, it just lacks a bit of the technical proficiencies that the balanced output adopts. It would therefore be advised to use headphones with an XLR termination to fully capitalise on this amp’s potential. ”
CUSTOM ART HARMONY 8.2 REVIEW
October 23, 2016 Comments Off on CUSTOM ART HARMONY 8.2 REVIEW
” The key difference between the 8 and the 8.2 is impact and increased sub-bass presence in the performance of the 8.2; it is just so much better than previously. Bass on the 8 was actually pretty good, to be honest with a snappy and tactile response but it didn’t have a huge amount of emphasis”

GoldenEar Technology SuperSub XXL Subwoofer $1999 – Review
October 22, 2016 Comments Off on GoldenEar Technology SuperSub XXL Subwoofer $1999 – Review
“Why not just turn up the volume on my adjustable woofers in the Lansche 4.1 you ask? Because the SuperSub XXL subs keep the main drivers from having to work beyond their comfort zone, and the SuperSub XXL subs really own the low bass space. The drivers on the Lansche simply cannot move enough air to compete. The ability to simply overlap the low frequencies of my 4.1 without a great deal of fretting worked just fine.”
FINAL AUDIO F7200 REVIEW
October 22, 2016 Comments Off on FINAL AUDIO F7200 REVIEW
“The F7200 tends to oil coats tom tom drums and certain low-toned vocals a bit much. Rebound bite softens. But considering that the F7200 is pretty flat-field, this becomes its only real Achilles Heel for the trance head. Highs and high mids simply don’t jump out enough to simulate wide trance halls. Partially as a result, its soundstage is wide but not that deep. High range instrument separation is good, but because z-axis depth and bass resolution aren’t super fussy, high range stereo details soften here and there”
