Pass Labs X350.8 Stereo Amplifier and XP-30 Preamplifier Review
September 6, 2016 Comments Off on Pass Labs X350.8 Stereo Amplifier and XP-30 Preamplifier Review
“Bottom line… the extension, transparency, and palpability of the XP-30 make it a must audition. The seductive mids/highs and muscular bass performance of the Reference 6 should also put it right there at the top of the list. I wish you luck on this one. Much applause to both Pass Labs and Audio Research for giving us such wonderful options.”

Audio Alchemy DPA-1M monoblock power amplifier $3990/pair Review
September 5, 2016 Comments Off on Audio Alchemy DPA-1M monoblock power amplifier $3990/pair Review
” If the DPA-1M could be said to have a character, it was in the direction of being lively—a bit forward rather than laid-back or subdued. For those familiar with digital cameras, the character of the DPA-1M was like a camera’s Vivid setting, which maximizes color saturation and contrast. Of course, a system’s sonic character is a function of all of the components in that system, especially the speakers, and one of the strengths of the Wilson Sabrinas is their ability to produce a dramatic, big-speaker sound that is out of proportion to their size. In this, the Sabrinas and the DPA-1Ms worked synergistically—which may be why Wilson so often uses these amps to demo the Sabrinas.”

MEE AUDIO PINNALCE P1 REVIEW
September 5, 2016 Comments Off on MEE AUDIO PINNALCE P1 REVIEW
” The cables are detachable. This is something we are seeing more and more of in earphones at all price ranges. It lets users change or replace the cable at a low cost without the need for buying and entirely new set if things go wrong. As the Pinnacle P1 are worn over the ear there are no microphonics at all and in day to day use we found the cable to be well behaved and resistant to tangles. Its not quite the premium feel you get on Vsonic’s GR07 or as stylish as some of my custom cables but it gets the job done.”
Music Hall Audio MMF-7.3 Turntable Review
September 5, 2016 Comments Off on Music Hall Audio MMF-7.3 Turntable Review
“The Music Hall aptly propelled the swaying Nashville rhythms and blustery melodies of his music, although the top end was a mite dry and hard. But that’s nit-picking. Misty music filled the room, sweeping me up in a celestial swoon of sounds.”
Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-2170 Integrated Amplifier Reviewed
September 5, 2016 Comments Off on Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-2170 Integrated Amplifier Reviewed
“The TDAI 2170 does have home theater bypass capability, which allows you to adapt this integrated amp into your existing home theater setup. I did experiment with this functionality, and it worked well. By connecting your surround sound processor’s front left and right preouts to one set of analog inputs on the TDAI 2170, and with a few setting changes in both my processor and TDAI, I was off and running. As suggested, I labeled that input as “Home Theater” within the Lyngdorf. Additionally, in this setup, you should connect your subwoofer directly to the TDAI following the manufacturer’s instructions. In this way, the Lyngdorf Room Perfect functionality benefits lower frequencies. I also had my processor automatically power on the TDAI with the remote trigger feature on both units, making it easy to use on a daily basis.”
Thiel Audio TT1 loudspeaker $7000 Review
September 4, 2016 Comments Off on Thiel Audio TT1 loudspeaker $7000 Review
“An obvious difference between the two designs was at the bottom end. While the TT1 underperformed a bit down low, the Silver 10 was occasionally a little too eager to chomp into a deep-bass riff. I didn’t dislike this; with a good recording of pipe organ or drums, and without a sub, I often heard more at the bottom end from the Monitors than from the Thiels. The Silver 10s captured more of the organ underpinning the chorus in at least a few passages of the Rutter Requiem and some of his other works on that disc. The Monitors were also better than the Thiels at reproducing the big Japanese drums on recordings by the taiko drumming troupe Kodo, both in the drums’ initial transient impact and the way in which the sound from the body of the instrument reverberated back into the recording space.’
