EXASOUND AUDIO s82 STREAMER - REVIEW

Before you go for the big-buck TOTL media players from other well-known brands, you will definitely want to audition the Exasound Audio s82 Streaming DAC. It’s that good, and it may well save you several thousand dollars while giving you similar or even better sound performance.

BAETIS AUDIO REVOLUTION X4 STREAMER - REVIEW

The Revolution X4 is an outstanding digital streamer that I am certain believes itself to be a synthesis of both digital and analog. At least, that is what it has shown me as it has served my musical collection and every genre therein as such.

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.

THE MEZE LIRIC - REVIEW

The LIRIC’s combined traits will challenge not only much more expensive dynamic headphones but planar headphones and, perhaps, an electrostatic headphone or two. The Meze LIRIC is an easy GOLDEN KEYNOTE award winner for all its combined talents—its ability to capture the listener with its incredible transparency and resolution, the beauty of its voice, and the excitement it compels. Enough said.

AUDIENCE FRONT ROW CABLES- REVIEW

There is not another cable, in my experience and to date, that has come close to delivering the kind of transparency, comprehensive resolution and excavation of detail of the AFRCs, in unison with a compelling and immersive musicality and sweetness that I had not thought possible with cables.

HEADAMP GS-X MINI - REVIEW

The HeadAmp GS-X Mini offers up prodigious detail, and resolves beautifully with a richness and natural warmth that are both beguiling and compelling. It has one of the best dynamic ranges that I’ve come across at its price point. And, as I stated above, though there are better headphone amps, they come at multiples of its price.

ZMF VÉRÍTÉ - REVIEW

Gorgeous. Incredibly transparent, resolving, detail rich, fast, fast, fast, and astonishingly musical. The sum of the Véríté’s talents speak to something other than a dynamic headphone, something imbued with a good measure of the planar magnetic tribe, and, at times, the electrostatic tribe as well. An exceptionally talented chameleon able to meet the task at hand with all its best skill forward!
