PS Audio’s DirectStream Junior Review
August 27, 2016 Comments Off on PS Audio’s DirectStream Junior Review
“But it gets better. Album name and song title info are displayed on the DSJ’s OLED display – a nice touch – but where this unit’s user-friendliness really takes us into orbit is with volume attenuation. Not only is the tactility of the DSJ’s rotary more enjoyable than the more finicky finger-drag of the DirectStream’s touchscreen, the DSJ’s volume control enjoys two-way communication with Roon’s. Move Roon’s volume slider on an iPhone or Macbook and watch the volume change on the DSJ itself. Turn the DSJ’s infinite rotary and watch the Roon slider move.”

August 26, 2016 Comments Off on Pass HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier $3,500 Review
“Rather than bore you with audiophile cliché after cliché, let’s break it down. The Pass HPA-1 is on the top tier of the world’s finest headphone amplifiers, regardless of cost, end of story. If you can live with the single-ended functionality and a single output, you’ll have a tough time getting better sound anywhere. It is an expensive headphone amplifier, but delivers the goods. If you are only looking for a headphone amplifier, this is the top of the heap.”
VOODOO ISO-POD ISOLATION SYSTEM $399 (set of 4) Review
August 26, 2016 Comments Off on VOODOO ISO-POD ISOLATION SYSTEM $399 (set of 4) Review
“Which brings us to the Iso-Pod Isolation system from VooDoo Cable (a company whose fine power cords I’ve reviewed in the past.) Based in Oakland, California, VooDoo uses a slightly different formula to achieve isolation goals. Outwardly the Iso-Pods look like innocent, circular discs. Their flat, felt-covered surface makes them very stable beneath a component. But inside, things get more interesting. Each Iso-Pod is actually a pair of CNC-machined aerospace alloy discs that are suspended from within by three small zirconium ball bearings that rest in tiny individual dimples. Like a ball-bearing sandwich, the assembly is held together by powerful opposing magnets centered in each disc. Iso-Pods ship in combinations of three or four discs.”
Rega’s Planar 3 Turntable Review
August 26, 2016 Comments Off on Rega’s Planar 3 Turntable Review
“The P3 has never been famous for bass extension, yet the new Planar 3 offers more weight, more control and more texture than ever. Rifling through bass heavy tracks shows how much of a contender this table has become. Bouncing back to that totally 80s groove, the synth bass line in Paul Young’s version of “I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” now rattles the room, where the old table politely offers up some bass.”
