LINN MAJIK DSM NETWORK MUSIC PLAYER REVIEW
July 21, 2016 Comments Off on LINN MAJIK DSM NETWORK MUSIC PLAYER REVIEW
” If you’ve had the stamina to read this far you should have good idea of how and why the Linn Majik DSM, Majik 140 loudspeakers, and Majik Exaktbox-I, along with Space Optimization room-correction system work together to form a high-resolution, yet musical system that can be placed into an environment that is less than ideal and still offer optimal results. In short, if you have a lousy-sounding room wherein sonic issues can’t be fixed easily with room treatments, the Linn Majik system offers a viable alternative to giving up all hope of decent sound. While not magic, Linn’s Majik system comes as close as possible to musical alchemy, by turning leaden-sounding rooms into sonic gold.”

“e-onkyo music’s director, Taku Kurosawa, added, “Mick-san is one of Japan’s leading recording engineers, and listening to these Unamas albums will surely convince you of the ultra-high quality of his recordings. It was inevitable that Mick-san would have a keen interest in MQA, given his eagerness to try any new technical approach to further refine his recordings.”

“It should also be noted that sites are improving all the time. ClassicsOnline has added Sony in the past few months, and already has over 300 Sony albums in hi-rez. Nimbus will be on board shortly. The sound quality of their streaming player app is claimed to have improved dramatically, mobile streaming is available (ditto for Tidal, of course), and new content is added weekly. As for HDTracks, while its search function could certainly be improved, its download app functions impeccably on my iMac.”

Motorola Verve Ones+ Review

“This is fine in theory, and we didn’t experience any latency issues between the buds, but we did regularly experience dropouts on the right ear bud. It seems the Bluetooth sometimes struggles to get through our skulls.It doesn’t happen often (once or twice per listening session) but it is enough to grate.”

Westlake Audio Tower 5 Loudspeakers $28,000 Review
July 20, 2016 Comments Off on Westlake Audio Tower 5 Loudspeakers $28,000 Review
“The Westlake Audio Tower 5 is not a perfect speaker. Some may find them too small for an extra-large listening room. And then there is the cost, only a little south of 30-grand isn’t the type of purchase that many of us make on impulse. But if one can afford this amount for a pair of made-in-the-USA speakers, I say go for it. For those with a smaller to medium sized listening room, and even for those with a listening room on the larger side, these speakers do so many things right and make me search for things to say negative that I have no choice but to give them my highest recommendation.”

‘ We might surmise that Apple may omit the headphone jack because it would make more money that way. It could sell headphone dongles. Cost to manufacture: $1. Retail price: $20. Profit! Or, a Bluetooth-only connection would instantly obsolete all of the billion zillion 3.5mm wired headphones out there. Apple, conveniently the owner of Beats, could sell lots of Bluetooth headphones. Profit! Or, Beats could sell Lightning headphones. Profit! There are already some some 3rd-party Lightning headphones out there, but they must pay for a Lightning license. ”

PS Audio DirectStream Review

“I’ve been on a huge music-discovery roll of late, listening to lots of old and new music that’s new to me. While I did run through some of my review chestnuts, i.e test tracks, from Tom Waits, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Jordi Savall, John Coltrane, Eric Whitacre, Jimi Hendrix and more, it didn’t take a helluva lot of time to suss out the fact that the DSJ made listening to music fun. This accounts, in part, for my musical sojourning during its stay.
