Roksan Attessa Streaming and Integrated Amplifiers – A Video Review
I think it’s really cool, that in an amplifier line up both amps have the same power. The only difference is the functionality. Unlike how with some brands there's a lower-powered version with less functionality and a higher-powered one with all of the fixings.
Mission 778x Integrated Amplifier, A Video Review.
My first pair of proper HiFi speakers were the mighty Mission m32i bookshelves. They were a massive step up in what my home stereo sounded like.
Sennheiser HD 660S2 Headphones Review
Sennheiser headphones have been around forever, yet they keep coming up with new gear at a variety of prices. Now there’s a new headphone that’s an obvious successor to their classic HD 600 headphones, and a few newer iterations that have come along.
Klipsch RP-8000F II Floor-Standing Loudspeakers Review
The Klipsch RP-8000F II Floor-Standing speakers have new, larger Tractrix® Horn tweeters and newly updated woofers. I found them to be well-made, dynamic, and detailed sounding with surprising musicality at their modest price point. The Klipsch RP-8000F II speakers also performed well on my bench tests with very low distortion and flat frequency response.
Vincent PHO-701 Phono Preamp Review
The Vincent PHO-701 phono preamp delivers a lot for its very reasonable asking price. It packs a tube output stage, a two-box chassis with a separate power supply, and an exceptional level of cartridge loading tunability. On top of that, it sounds great.
Audiolab 9000A Integrated Amplifier, A Video Review
This is the easiest review I've ever had to do. Why? Well normally with amplifiers, it's “struggle-city” for me in trying to describe the slight differences in characteristics of one amp compared to others
McIntosh Labs MC303 Three Channel Solid State Power Amplifier Review
The McIntosh Labs MC303 Three Channel Power Amplifier is a no holds barred, no apologies given, 155-pound juggernaut of an amplifier from a company that is over 70 years old. It’s big, heavy, and drop-dead gorgeous. And in today’s world, it’s a solid value
Silent Angel Munich M1 Network Music Streamer Review
If a promise to lower the noise floor and increase the dynamic response in your digital audio system is of interest to you, Silent Angel can help.
Plinius Kaitaki Preamplifier Review
The Plinius Kaitaki preamplifier has an MSRP of $6500. For $650 more you can get an internal phono stage added. It features a gorgeous, brushed metal chassis with blue accents and a massive remote control.
Cyrus XR Full System Review with PSU-XR External Power Supply
This is my concluding review of the XR Series components from Cyrus. They are all built to the highest specifications and Cyrus...
The Cyrus CDt-XR CD Transport Review
I’ve already reviewed the Cyrus i9-XR integrated amp. The CDt-XR is a companion piece, but it can also stand alone. I’m reviewing it that way, and in the following review, appearing next week, I’ll give my thoughts on this player, and the Cyrus integrated amplifier, together with the Cyrus PSU-XR power supply
Orchard Audio PecanPi+® Plus Streamer Review
The Orchard Audio PecanPi+ is an audio streamer with a built-in DAC and headphone amplifier. It’s all housed in a simple black box with a single knob on its face
Cyrus Audio i9-XR Integrated Amplifier Review
This review and the two following reviews will take a slightly different format than usual, as we have 3 products, all from Cyrus Audio in the U.K. There’s an integrated amplifier, the subject of this review, a CD transport, and a sophisticated power supply module.
Aperion Audio Theatrus T80 Cinema Studio Monitor Speakers Review
In my video series, Home Theater 101+, I described three different bookshelf speakers that are excellent choices for setting up a basic system. Monitor speakers, which are used in studios for mastering professional recordings, can also be used in home theaters. Aperion Audio Theatrus T80 Cinema Studio Monitor Speakers are one such possibility.
Geshelli Labs Archel 2.5XL Headphone Amp and J2 DAC Review
