64 AUDIO ADEL U12 $1600 REVIEW
August 11, 2016 Comments Off on 64 AUDIO ADEL U12 $1600 REVIEW
“Soundstage width is really impressive. It’s much more than average compared to most IEM’s out there but I can’t say this about the depth. Stage is kinda close to you, but really wide. It gives an open feeling, even with the dark sound signature. If it had more depth, it would be more relaxed but that’s what we have. Overall, I think the soundstage is excellent thanks to the great width.”
Kharma Elegance dB9-S Loudspeakers $37,500 Review
August 10, 2016 Comments Off on Kharma Elegance dB9-S Loudspeakers $37,500 Review
“The industrial design of the Kharma Elegance dB9-S will appeal to the buyer who wants to be reminded of the luxury nature of high-end audio. The speaker’s tasteful appearance and reasonable size are augmented by numerous design flourishes, such as the chrome ring that separates the bottom panel of the speaker from the vertical panels that form the cabinet proper — unostentatious reminders that these speakers cost $37,500/pair. Of course, you’ll get an even better idea of what you’ve paid for when you fire them up and start listening to your favorite music.”
KORG DS-DAC-10R & AudioGate ‘Portable’ vinyl
August 10, 2016 Comments Off on KORG DS-DAC-10R & AudioGate ‘Portable’ vinyl
” Mercifully, there are no wizards to plough through. AudioGate’s clean intuitive UI makes for a pleasurable experience – one that’s generally in short supply in the vinyl-ripping world and unheard of at the DS-DAC-10R’s asking price. What a find!”
T+A Elektroakustik PA 2000 R Integrated Amplifier
August 10, 2016 Comments Off on T+A Elektroakustik PA 2000 R Integrated Amplifier
” Delving deeper, I never would have described my reference amp as sounding anything other than quiet and unobtrusive. Once again, though, the T+A honed the margins with greater acuity. Mark Knopfler’s muttered opening lines in “Brothers in Arms” weren’t spotlit against quite as “black” a background with the Hegel in play. In fact, I could hear white noise from the tweeter of one of my Monitor Audio Silver 10s from a couple inches away — something I could never do with the T+A. Is that white noise still audible from 8’ or 10’ away? Hard to say. The Hegel is a top-flight integrated, due in no small part to its highly competent built-in DAC section. The PA 2000 R was, overall, a bit better: just as transparent but offering greater dynamic contrast, a voicing more true to the source, and an overall build quality that puts to shame the folded-aluminum case of my H360. You get what you pay for — and as the PA 2000 R could push an insensitive loudspeaker like the two-way Magico S1 Mk.II to its breaking point, it’s something of a brute, too.”
AUNE ‘S SUB-300$ BALANCED X7S REVIEW
August 10, 2016 Comments Off on AUNE ‘S SUB-300$ BALANCED X7S REVIEW
” As part of the X series, it stacks with the X5s player, and the X1S DSD DAC, and looks pretty in the process. Interface-wise, I’m a bit disappointed that its input is limited to single-ended RCAs, which have become an increasingly rare commodity in my household, and one that breaks down faster than XLRs.”
DRAGON INSPIRE IHA-1 HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $1595 REVIEW
August 9, 2016 Comments Off on DRAGON INSPIRE IHA-1 HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER $1595 REVIEW
“Although it’s solid-state, the NuPrime DAC-10H has a similar price ($1795) and feature set. Both units can handle single-ended and balanced headphones and both can also serve as preamplifiers. The DAC-10H does have greater flexibility than the IHA-1 with more inputs (including analog line-level) and outputs as well as a very good DAC capable of 384/32 PCM and DSD128. The DAC-10H can also handle a wider range of headphones successfully. Sonically, the DAC-10H offers a clean, clear, more matter-of-fact solid-state view of the musical event as compared to the IHA-1’s tube-centric three-dimensional panorama.”

LessLoss Homage To Time XLR balanced interconnects review $640 a pair
August 9, 2016 Comments Off on LessLoss Homage To Time XLR balanced interconnects review $640 a pair
“With a good cable, details in harmonic structure can be more easily recognised. At the point of conversion to acoustical vibration, the electrical vibrations materialise more believably and naturally into sound which is more recognisable. Thus, it becomes easier and more interesting to listen. Enjoyment of the experience is enhanced. ”
