Lear flagship the LCM-BD4 Review
August 8, 2016 Comments Off on Lear flagship the LCM-BD4 Review
“I finally want to then show the measurements I took of Josh’s unit before it was made into mine on middle bass settings and as you can see it is pretty consistent with my pair with just a bit more of a dip between 200Hz and 1kHz (probably down too bass dial position being slightly higher since more mid bass). The only major difference is better channel matching!”
PSB Imagine T3 loudspeaker Review
August 8, 2016 Comments Off on PSB Imagine T3 loudspeaker Review
” I recently purchased the hi-rez digital transfers of Keith Jarrett’s The Kîln Concert (24/96 ALAC files, ECM/HDtracks), so that I could compare them with the MQA versions in a future review. Well-recorded solo piano is always difficult for speakers to reproduce correctly, because piano notes have high levels of energy in the region where speakers have resonances of various kinds, and because the nature of the music often doesn’t mask those resonances once they have been excited. This essential Keith Jarrett album does have a rather close balance, but it sounded superb through the PSBs. I couldn’t hear anything untoward in the midrange, other than a faint whistle when I put my ear close to the uppermost ports on the enclosure’s rear. I returned to this album after taking the T3’s measurements, and found a high-Q resonance in the top and middle port outputs that must be associated with what I heard. However, back at the listening position, even after I knew the resonance was present, I still couldn’t hear that it had any noticeable effect on the sound of Jarrett’s piano.”

MRSPEAKERS ETHER C HEADPHONES REVIEW
August 8, 2016 Comments Off on MRSPEAKERS ETHER C HEADPHONES REVIEW
“Taken as simply a new headphone without respect to previous versions (as it should be), the ETHER C Flow is a phenomenal performing effort and has clearly raised the bar for planar magnetic headphones. It has amazing speed and accuracy, excellent tonal balance and dynamic range, as well as, controlled and deep bass extension. ”
Cardas A8 Ear Speakers $299 – Review
August 8, 2016 Comments Off on Cardas A8 Ear Speakers $299 – Review
” Things were going so well, I brought out one of my long-term in-ear references, the Sennheiser IE800 ($800) to pit against the A8. These two sound very different; the A8’s bass goes a lot deeper, without any loss of definition or low-end clarity. Dynamics are more viscerally felt over the A8; it’s a higher-energy headphone. But the IE800’s midrange sounds more refined and natural, and the treble is sweeter. The IE800’s sound is closer to neutral but less exciting to listen to.”

Paradigm Prestige 75F Loudspeaker $3,000 Review
August 7, 2016 Comments Off on Paradigm Prestige 75F Loudspeaker $3,000 Review
” Paradigm’s Prestige 75F tower is a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship and a true work of art. The intense care and attention to detail that went into building these speakers radia= tes like an aura around each one. Remarkably, the combination of subtlety, power, and detail makes the beautiful cabinets dematerialize into an exceptionally wide, ethereal soundstage that’s rare to find in a pair of towers at this price. At $3,000 for a pair, the 75Fs aren’t cheap, but the elevated visuals and ambrosial sonics are worth their weight in gold.”
Audeze Sine On-Ear Headphones Review
August 7, 2016 Comments Off on Audeze Sine On-Ear Headphones Review
“The Audeze Sine sounds clear. It sounds detailed. It is so many things that audiophile headphones aspire to be, but don’t always achieve. Its also rests on the ear, which can affect long term comfort but is hardly something that can be avoided within the design restrictions. At $499, it’s also pretty expensive for a supraaural, but the cheapest Audeze ever made. The win for consumers is that a heck of a lot of Audeze came down to play in the sandbox, with perhaps a little refinement gleaned from a few good years under the belt making stellar-sounding headphones. If you are currently looking for a detail-oriented on-ear headphone, I can’t think of one that even comes close to the performance of the Sine.”
