SHAKTI STONE AIR & ONLINE AIR STABILIZERS - REVIEW
Well, the short and sweet of it is that the Shakti Stone Air and On-Line Air work immediately and beautifully together. They took our electrostatic reference system to even greater high-fidelity heights than we could have imagined. The improvements can be summed up in a few words—more transparent and resolving, more natural, more musical. Once they’ve been placed in your system, I don’t believe you’ll want them to leave.
TORUS POWER AVR ELITE POWER CONDITIONER - REVIEW
When a component brilliantly does what it was designed to do and gets out of the way to let all the other performers—components—shine, well, it deserves an award. We happily award the TORUS POWER AVR Elite power conditioner our DIAMOND AWARD, well deserved for its exceptional work.
SILENT ANGEL MUNICH M1 & FORESTER F1 - REVIEW
The Silent Angel Munich M1 and Forester F1, the“Tiny Tots,” while quite small represent an ideal entry-level streamer, linear power supply duo. The value to cost ratio is very good at a combined price for the Tots at $2,049. The Munich M1 will easily compete with your computer but it will need the Forester F1 LPS to bring things to equal with the Roon Nucleus Plus. … In short, the Silent Angel Munich M1 and Forester F1s provide a great deal of music and technical/high fidelity skills for relatively little cost.
HEADAMP GS-X MKII - REVIEW
The HeadAmp GS-X MkII is an exceptional headphone amplifier that not only outperforms its GS-X Mini sibling, but a goodly number of headphone amplifiers that have come my way for review these past years, some being a good deal more expensive.
TRI-ART OPEN 5 - REVIEW
The TRI-ART OPEN 5 at $7500 is a game changer in that it will challenge, easily, speakers at multiples upon multiples of its price. All one need do to achieve this, is to feed it sufficient, well enabled power to bring it to life (100 watts+)!
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.
