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.
MOJO AUDIO MYSTIQUE X SE DAC - REVIEW
I had held Berkeley Audio Design’s† as the approach to take when looking for accuracy with musicality. Now, I have another more affordable choice among peers. The Mystique X SE combines the eternal precision of digital with the immortal soul of human performance. I concede, Benjamin’s karate is better. If you’re shopping for a “mid–tier” digital audio converter, you owe it to yourself to make a date with Mystique.
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.
AUDIONET PRE G2 AND AMP - REVIEW
Spectacular! Not every day does a preamp and amplifier duo come into your life and raise the “living dead,” figuratively speaking, from their musical graves. Well, if you’ve made it this far, the reference to the “living dead” may well be clear. But I digress.
