NEODIO ORIGINE S2 CDP - REVIEW
The NEODIO Origine S2 is a breath of fresh air or, perhaps, it is digital as analog in the selfsame way that analog was dismissed as “obsolete,” “inferior,” “anachronistic,” when it was not, as now referenced by the ever-rising growth of album sales.
ACELEC MODEL ONE SPEAKERS - REVIEW
The Acelec Model One monitors are high performance in the truest sense of the word. Their incredible accuracy, over the top build quality, impressive musical focus make it difficult to find any fault.
SILENT ANGEL RHEIN Z1 & FORESTER F2 - REVIEW
Wow! These grooved, little, metal, black boxes carry a wallop of high-fidelity goodness and compelling musicality that clearly sets them far above their combined price. And I must admit, having reviewed, auditioned, and owned some very high value/cost streamers, I am very impressed by the Silent Angel Rhein Z1 and the Forester F2 combo.
WARWICK ACOUSTICS BRAVURA AND SONOMA M1 - REVIEW
The Warwick Acoustic Bravura & Sonoma M1 represent the classic and well sought after electrostatic sound, like the transducers—Quad ESL 57, Martin Logan CLS—that began this rather exceptional modality!
TRILOGY H1 ENERGIZER - REVIEW
The Trilogy H1 energizer is the child of electrostatics and single-ended triodes and it is sublime in the extreme. Did I mention the Trilogy H1’s blazing, transient speed, its openness, its hypnotic immersiveness, and delicious tonality? “Yes.” Well, okay.
REGA PLANAR 10 - REVIEW
The Rega Planar 10, to our ears, is a masterpiece. We could not imagine it could be so easy to set up, and it is virtually maintenance free. Perhaps every once in a long while checking the speed would be the extent of it. The Planar 10 feels like a precision machine, no extra fat, not overbuilt, and stealthy.
MUSICIAN AUDIO PEGASUS - REVIEW
The $1-2k market segment for DACs is a crowded one with some very capable contenders, so I would definitely listen rather than reading before landing on a final purchase. That said, the PEGASUS represents a solid investment in mellow digital audio conversion. The overall careful construction, effortless ease of use, plethora of input choices and ability to upgrade the performance via I²S all make for a compelling package.
