HIFIMAN SUSVARA - REVIEW
Natural more so than any headphone that I have heard to date and matched with its superb technical abilities the HiFiMan Susvara is, perhaps, that desert island headphone or, in this day and age, that deeply buried, post-apocalyptic-bunker headphone that will see you through until septic failure or water/food shortage or catastrophic disagreement with your bunker mates.
ALLNIC H-7000 PHONO-PREAMPLIFIER - REVIEW
There is no other way to put it, the Allnic H-7000 tube based Phono Stage is the most impressive analogue component I have encountered. It is also the most expensive, and appropriately so considering the obsessive attention to detail, materials, and build. It will be hard to see it go, but even so, we enjoyed listening to vinyl as we never have before. Very highly recommended.
PURE AUDIO PROJECT DUET 15 - REVIEW
So now you can see that the Duet15 is a two–way design. The aforementioned whizzer cone should narrowcast high frequencies, but does it? Is the Duet15 as dark as I’ve come to expect from a full range transducer? Well, yes and no.
AUDIENCE HIDDEN TREASURE CAT7 CABLE - REVIEW
An exceptional ethernet cable that will immediately cue one in to what has been missing, in some cases entirely, from their music and in no small measure—a revelation.
ALLNIC HPA-10000 OTL/OCL HEADPHONE AMP - REVIEW
Breathtaking transparency, resolution, and musicality that compel one to listen for hours on end, Single-Ended palpability, electrostatic dimensionality, and the power and gravitas of dynamics move it past all comers. Handy remote control is icing on the cake. Beautifully designed.
GRIMM AUDIO MU2 STREAMING/DAC/PREAMP - REVIEW
The Grimm Audio MU2 as a complete streaming DAC is unparalleled in its ability to render one’s music in a way that is technically superb, while bringing unquestioned musicality that rivals some of the best and most expensive analog rigs.
BOENICKE AUDIO W8 - REVIEW
If I had a magic lantern housing a benevolent and easily amused djinn and asked her for the boon of a high performance loudspeaker in a handsome family-friendly package…Abracadabra, a pair of W8s would miraculously appear! Not only would my wish be granted, but I’d have to give props to my genie for her astute good taste.
