New review: KR Audio P135 preamp on Positive Feedback

KR Audio P135 direct heated triode preampBrad Morrical of Positive Feedback concluded (August 2017):
"...so, what now to make of this smallest of high-end preamplifiers?  It is highly resolved in the best sense of the word where one can see into the recordings of sufficient quality. It has a soft touch that seems to be often in character with DHT (direct heated triode) output stages but loses none of the dynamics one would expect from a top preamplifier. All of this was more or less what I expected given the KR Audio heritage and it is just these characteristics that give their big amps such a strong reputation for performance. What surprised me the most was the effective punch in the bass that it delivers, which is the equal of the NAT Plasma and Einstein "The Tube" preamplifiers. This is also in character with KR amps but given the diminutive size of this preamplifier I was taken a bit off guard. Finally, music through this preamplifier just made sense and it welded things together in a convincing manner that allowed dissection without disintegration. I think that the KR Audio P-135 should be one anyone's shortlist when looking for a preamplifier between 4-10K Euro as it is really superb sounding and as such offers excellent value..."

New review: High Fidelity reviews Cantano W/T Turntable & Tonearm

Cantano W/T Turntable & TonearmWojciech Pacula of High Fidelity (September 2017) concluded:
"...Mr. Oliver von Zedlitz's turntable has a class. That's a term used once to describe unique women or men – all it took was just one look at them and it was obvious – they have a class. Others, no matter how hard they tried, simply never had IT. That's how I perceive the Cantano - the W turntable and the T tonearm. It is modest in expression, sophisticated in design, and it sounds beautifully. It does not impress so easily as other decks, i.e. it does not seduce listener after the first few minutes. One needs some experience to understand what the class of this device is about. It is about the beauty of music without imposing turntable's own character – that's exactly it..."

Aurorasound VIDA review on HiFiStatement.net


Dirk Sommer of HiFiStatement.net concluded:

"...with the Vida, Aurorasound offers a phono amplifier that can, within wide limits, be adapted to your individual requirements. The housing design is almost as independent as the circuit topology. The sound of the Vida is completely convincing. It is a true “emotion machine” - and at an unrivaled price: a very hot tip!"

Terry Eringi of AVShowrooms wrote:
  "...so much bass coming from the Voxativ Zeth Loudspeakers with the Zeth bass unit.  It’s hard to believe such dynamic sound and holographic layering was being delivered from these small single driver speakers, but such is the signature and the success of Voxativ.  Holger Adler played us an avant-garde drum track that filled the room with a fast, punchy sound.  Electronics are by Lyric, a company new to North America and so worth checking out..."

New review: Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE on Positive Feedback

Synergistic Research PowerCell 12 UEF SE

Robert S. Youman of Postive Feedback concluded: "...Synergistic Research has another winner with the PowerCell 12 UEF SE. I was pleasantly surprised if not astonished at the improvement in sound quality over my past benchmark—the excellent PowerCell 10 UEF. Unlike other power conditioners that I have auditioned, the PowerCell 12 UEF SE never feels like it throttles or diminishes the music. Yes, we have superior levels of isolation which results in an impressive reduction in the noise floor, but all the excitement and dynamic contrast of the recording as originally intended is still laid out for all to hear. This one will not be leaving my listening room..."
