SummaryThe D3 FILE PLAYER BY LUMIN is a resolving device with a wonderful timbre . He plays all types of music with commitment and flair. It has limitations, of course. They consist primarily in unclear further plans and in bringing different recordings closer together in terms of timbre. It will always be big, dense and warm sound. Even with such highly compressed material as the debut album of ROBBI ROBERTSON, the guitarist of Dylan and the guitarist of the co-creator of the band's songs - nomen omen - The Band.It's a great album, recorded with the participation of U2 and musicians Peter Gab..

Better By HalfIf you're a potential Perlisten customer aching to own the S7ts but unable to stretch your budget that far, fear not. The R7t is a brilliant runner's up prize and shows my earlier 'half as good' comment to be the flippant nonsense it was. These floorstanders share much of their flagship brethren's star qualities – including dynamic ability, low-end control and cavernous soundstaging – and in the area where they most notably 'suffer' in comparison, high-end detailing and clarity, their performance is superb for the money. Hi-Fi News VerdictA floorstander with the voluminous output..

In many ways, the ATC SCM100ASLT is like the Bentley Continental GT of loudspeakers. It’s big, it’s very powerful, it’s luxuriously finished, it sounds like nothing else, and it’s very, very British. The ATC SCM100ASLT is an active British studio monitor in the most classic sense. Its transparency, range, and dynamic capabilities conspire to bring some of that large-scale in-studio magic to your listening room. ConclusionsThe ATC SCM100ASLT is essentially a classic active studio monitor, dressed up in the most sophisticated tailored suit. I am constantly flummoxed when I remember that they are..

An analogous truism is that you can’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never had it. A case in point: soon after I began my audition of Hegel Music Systems’ H600, their new flagship integrated amplifier-DAC ($12,500, all prices in USD), I came to realize what the missing element in my system had been. It was an epiphany. ConclusionThe Hegel H600 is an exceptional integrated amplifier. Using the Bryston BDA-2 DAC I was able to compare the H600 and B135 strictly as integrated amplifiers and found the former superior—effortless and pristine at any volume. Remarkably, Hegel includes with this ou..

Aesthetically, the M3 exudes character. Its wide-baffled, rectilinear aspect isn't just timeless. It's iconic. I felt that on first sight, at the 2022 Montréal Audiofest. Despite being short—technically, it's a bookshelf speaker—it radiates stoic strength. Back-tilted on a black, powder-coated, 14-gauge riser base, its square-jawed chin juts out defiantly. It's like the face of an Eastwood Western character, except that, instead of a cigar, there's a flap at the bottom to pull off the magnetically attached fabric grille. As tempted as I was initially to yank those flaps—I have a great distaste..

The 7000A arrives on the market with one of the most thorough and comprehensive feature sets on the market and balances this with truly outstanding performance. It's not the best Audiolab amp but it is the best value. The matching CDT offers a genuinely pleasurable user experience that will work superbly in a variety of setups.ConclusionSo as to stave off any doubt, the 7000A is not better than the 9000A. That is a formidable bit of kit that justifies its asking price and every piece of effusive prose here doesn’t change that. This truth doesn’t alter the fact that, at nine hundred pounds less..
