The Beyerdynamic T5p headphones – Review
August 2, 2016 Comments Off on The Beyerdynamic T5p headphones – Review
” Continuing at home the T 5 p had a fuller and bassier sound than my old T 1 headphones (not the current T 1 (2. Generation). As I listened I felt my T 1 was significantly more transparent and clear, but it lacked some of the T5p’s warmth. If you do the bulk of your headphone listening at home get the T 1, but if you listen on-the-go and at home get the T5p. Both headphones are superb, but do different jobs.”

PASS LABS INT-250 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $12,000 REVIEW
August 1, 2016 Comments Off on PASS LABS INT-250 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER $12,000 REVIEW
“A true reference integrated such as the 180Wpc MBL C51 made it a contest throughout most of the audio spectrum, but the difference in the Pass Labs’ raw power was telling in midrange dynamics and mid/upper-bass grip. In my experience only the Vitus Audio SIA-25 (Issue 218), a pure 25Wpc Class A integrated, has exhibited a more transparent top-end but its relatively low power removes it from the equation with lower-sensitivity loudspeakers.”
Audiosmile LBM – Little British Monitor Review
August 1, 2016 Comments Off on Audiosmile LBM – Little British Monitor Review
“for PC desktop listening I connected them direct to the 3.5mm stereo lineout of the Geek Out 1000 / PC DAC. I placed them 26″ from each other with my 23″ monitor between and 27″ away from my ears. On initial listen, the LBM sounds positively cohesive even at arm’s length away on the desk. Vocals were full and music transients reproduced quite well. Natalie Cole’s duet with Diana Krall Better than Anything throws a convincing soundstage in front of you with solid imaging. Natalie croons at my 1 o’clock whilst Diana sides opposite her somewhat closer at 11 o’clock.”

“First came the excellent 25i – CLONES Audio’s commercial take on the Gaincard circuit – then a pair of 55pm monoblocks for those who wanted more control and transparency. After that, two DACs: Asher replaced Sheva. Then the POWER STATION – a linear PSU for the Mac Mini.”

LEAR FSM-02 V2 REVIEW
July 31, 2016 Comments Off on LEAR FSM-02 V2 REVIEW
” The situation changes somewhat when you introduce less efficient earphones or headphones. Earphones such as the 32 ohms Astrotec Lyra 6 or Noble 4C and the power hungry planar oBravo ERIB-5a via line-out. All three have double the play that the Jupiter and Se846 offered allowing up to 10-11 steps on most of the DAPs and a good bit more on the Sony ZX2. Whilst it is not a huge jump the level of control over gain and volume is significantly easier to manage.”
