HIFIMAN SUSVARA UNVEILED - REVIEW
There’s a new headphone in town and word is it’s the fastest in the west and so gosh darn clean and distortion-free, that headphones of all types, even electrostatics, are fleeing town in droves. Well, I should know. I’ve spent the past several months with this new fangled headphone and it is something special.
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.
THE DAN CLARK STEALTH - REVIEW
The Dan Clark STEALTH planar-dynamic headphone is a revelation. It exceeds its prescribed edict—to excel in planar magnetic duties—and goes on to become exceedingly familiar with, if not master of the edicts of the other headphone worlds and technologies.
ABYSS AB1266 PHI TC - REVIEW
I think that I’ve said it all. The Abyss AB1266 Phi TC is a phenomenal headphone. It brings an undying passion for musicality and a ferocity for transparency and clarity and detail retrieval, formerly the domain of the best electrostatic headphones. But this planar headphone speaks that language—electrostatic—fluently and well.
SIVGA PLANAR II - REVIEW
Though the SIVGA PII will not reach to the stygian depths of the Holy-Bass-Head-Grail, nor scale to the treble heights of Mt. Olympus and beyond, in that area, that space between the two, it will engage, entertain, communicate, and beautifully work its magic to convincingly state, “that my price point does not describe my level of musical skill, nor ability.” And in this it will have spoken the truth.
