EARSONICS S-EM9 $1,500 REVIEW
November 25, 2016 Comments Off on EARSONICS S-EM9 $1,500 REVIEW
“I didn’t expect such a radical re-jiggering of the SM64 house sound, such a threading of that through the smoothing engine of the SM3, and all of it extruded through the drier midrange sensibilities of the SM2. But that’s what the S-EM9 does. It orchestrates most of the best parts of signature Earsonics earphones, and then one ups them all with a detail-rich z-axis uncharacteristic to Earsonics earphones. ”
Pass Laboratories HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier $3,500 Review
October 20, 2016 Comments Off on Pass Laboratories HPA-1 Headphone Amplifier $3,500 Review
“he reproduction of both the lowest and highest of the frequency extremes is the best I’ve heard from a headphone amp anywhere near the HPA-1’s price. The same can be said for its micro- and macro-dynamics, transient response, inner detail, midrange transparency, and background silence. Within and quite above its price, I can’t think of any anything negative to say about the HPA-1’s sound quality.”
Mola Mola Kaluga Mono Amplifiers $16,500 Review
September 9, 2016 Comments Off on Mola Mola Kaluga Mono Amplifiers $16,500 Review
” One of the most overused words in describing audio components is neutral. However, you must remember that there are more than 50 shades of gray. Any of these shades may be entirely neutral, neither over- nor underemphasizing any part of the audioband, yet such neutrality in and of itself does not equate with transparency”
MRSPEAKERS THE ETHER $1,500 REVIEW
April 24, 2016 Comments Off on MRSPEAKERS THE ETHER $1,500 REVIEW
“It’s a $1500 headphone and for that money you do have a few choices in the market though only one closed headphone in this category and that is the Audeze LCD-XC. The next nearest competitor to the Ether C? Well that’s the Alpha Prime and they do not make them anymore. The next stop down is the closed Oppo PM-3 and that is a pretty stiff drop and a whole different market thrust. Outside of that well if you are at a crossroads over whether to choose open or closed then you have a ton of flagships out there, both planar and dynamic ready to vie for your cash.”
AKG N90Q $1,500 Review
January 15, 2016 Comments Off on AKG N90Q $1,500 Review
” ” We think AKG could have designed a better way of identifying each of these settings though. The headphone emits slightly different sounds when the tone and sound mode settings are switched and it’s easy to get confused between them.”
Chord Hugo TT $3,500 Review
December 13, 2015 Comments Off on Chord Hugo TT $3,500 Review
” I can wholeheartedly recommend the Chord Hugo TT! It hits on all cylinders for me: from its diverse number of inputs (SPDIF, OPTICAL, USB x2, and even Bluetooth), to its world class DAC to it incredibly powerful and dynamic amplifier. The build quality of the construction and the addition of the LED lights to always let you know what’s going on with your audio system is among the very best that I’ve seen. When it comes to my vote for “component of the year”, the Hugo TT will most certainly be in the mix for me to consider. Highly recommended!”
AAD 7001i Monitor Loudspeaker $12,500 – Review
December 9, 2015 Comments Off on AAD 7001i Monitor Loudspeaker $12,500 – Review
” In my small basement studio, I configured the AADs on my Apollo speaker stands at the ends of my Trident analog console, the 7001is were a wonderful mixing or editing tool with the Trident mixer or the Macintosh computer DAW playback monitoring (digital audio workstation). The midbass got a little bit emphasized when placing the speakers too close to the wall, but moving them out to about a foot cured that.”

‘
” In short, it sounds great—amazing even. You’ll be very hard-pressed to find a better high-res pocket player at any price. I’ve been hoarding the demo unit from Astell&Kern for several months now and have listened to it with ear buds from Apple, Grado, and AKG (among others), as well as with my six-driver JH Audio custom-molded in-ear monitors and a borrowed pair of Audeze LCD-3 open planar-magnetic ear cans”
Wavetouch Grand Teton SE Loudspeaker $3,500 Review

” The SE’s handled these notes very well. Now I’m not saying that the SE’s will produce the kind of foundation-challenging bottom end I get from my Legacy Focus SE’s in my Large-Room Reference system, but in my small room the kind of articulate and fairly deep bass the GT SE can conjure up is impressive and deserving of respect. In fact, with the PS Audio DirectStream as the DAC (with the Pike’s Peak firmware) the SE’s spilled out bass details on familiar recordings that I had never heard before. That’s how articulate their bass performance can be with the right associated gear and a good room to support it.”
