ENLEUM AMP-23R - REVIEW
Can exacting, yet minute changes make a world of difference in the sound of a given component? Yes, and the results, in this instance, are stunning! Soo In Chae has been on to something and in his latest iteration he moves his creation ever closer to perfection in small, measured, short-signal-path steps.
ANTICABLE SUITE - REVIEW
ANTICABLE has long touted its cables as giant killers and so it appears that they are, as was demonstrated throughout this review from cable type to cable type against a very expensive competitor and a competitor of equal pricing, both well known to the audiophile cognoscenti.
THE MEZE EMPYREAN ELITE - REVIEW
The Meze Empyrean Elite represents something new. New in that it appears to sit at the crossroads of a hybridized sound and technological profile—planar magnetic as wed to electrostatic. Perhaps the loss of 30% of the driver’s mass was sufficient to couple it to, at the very least, the boundaries of the electrostatic universe.
Sonnet Audio Morpheus DAC with Hermes Digital Bridge - Review
The Sonnet digital duo, the Morpheus DAC and the Hermes streamer are what I would call the perfect products for those seeking accurate, natural, and musically pleasing sound.
STAX SR-X9000 - REVIEW
The new and undisputed flagship of the STAX earspeaker-headphone line is the STAX SR-X9000 electrostatic headphone! And after listening these past weeks, this was perhaps one of the easiest calls that I have made to date. … Did I mention how extraordinarily immersive the STAX SR-X9000 is? Well, you will experience the sounds, the emotion, the ambiance, the ease, and even the ‘sights.’
NORDOST SORT KONE - REVIEW
I can wholeheartedly guarantee that if one’s hearing is intact it will be quite easy to get the differences with and without the Nordost AC SORT KONES, whether under a single component or across an entire system. In this respect they are impossible to remove.
STAX SRM-500T - REVIEW
No doubt, the SRM-500T was STAX’s way of saying this was constructed for those new to electrostatics, for whom it may serve as a beacon to a world that is immensely charming, musical, and communicates as if a breath of fresh air. There will also be those, who see the STAX SRM-500T as but the point of entry to this world. Their sights will, no doubt, lead them farther into this incredibly beautiful, transparent, and detail rich electrostatic world.
