New review: Wall Audio OPUS 88 on Positive Feedback

Wall Audio OPUS 88 tube preamp


Brad Morrical of Positive Feedback concluded:

"...the Wall Audio Opus 88 is a finely crafted and superbly performing music making machine. It mates a highly resolving, tonally inviting, precise imaging line stage with an equally compelling phono stage for a price that would be difficult to beat with a separate line and phono stage costing double the price of the Opus 88..."

Capitol Audio Fest 2016 reactions on Voxativ's Zeth

Voxativ Zeth at the Capitol Audio FestHerb Reichert of Stereophile wrote: "...a Berning push-pull 6B4G amplifier with a switching power supply—was used to drive the sexy-looking Voxativ Zeth loudspeakers ($15K). I loved it!... The Berning amp put out maybe 15Wpc, but that wasn't a problem, because the slender Zeth tower is a full-range design that boats 97dB sensitivity, with a 10.7-ohm impedance. The Zeths I heard at CAF2016 had Voxativ's optional wood cones; the standard cone material is Japanese calligraphy paper... The Voxativ speakers were loaded internally by a "Russian stealth bomber"-inspired loading profile, the explanation for which I did not quite grasp—but that doesn't matter as much as how well they played music. Visually, with their whizzer cones, the Voxativ drivers reminded me of Lowthers (I once owned a pairs of PM4s), but these had almost none of my Lowthers' fingernail-scraping-on-cardboard coloration. The Voxativs were more muted and neutral sounding. Not dull—just not forward in their paperyness. The Voxativs played small jazz and pop extremely well. Very appealing..."

New review: Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 4 cables

Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 4 interconnect cablesNeil Gader of The Absolute Sound concluded:
"...perhaps the greatest compliment I can confer on a cable is summed up in three words: “Cable? What cable?” The transparency of Atmosphere continues what has become for me an SR tradition of expanding the boundaries of soundstage dimensionality, pursuing every microdynamic cue, and resolving the lowest-level details. Aptly named, Atmosphere elevated the listening experience with every spin of a recording. A must-audition component..." CLICK HERE to read the entire review

New review on 6moons.com: Aurorasound VIDA LCR phono stage

Aurorasound VIDA phono stage
A brand new review for the Aurorasound VIDA LCR phono stage was released on 6moons.com.

Marja & Henk of 6moons.com wrote:
"...in conclusion, your two tube fanciers here were very impressed by what Karaki-san has designed and built up with just transistors. Fortunately there's a tendency for current LP releases to differ from the CD and streaming releases of the same recording. The latter two are prone to dynamic compression whilst the analog version rejoices in the full dynamic headroom. With a phono stage like the Vida, all of vinyl's hidden treasures are revealed fully and out in the open yet the phono stage itself stays courteously in the background like the perfect butler with white gloves..."

New review: Wall Audio M50 PSET mono block tube amplifiers

Wall Audio M50 PSET mono block tube amplifiersA brand new review  for the amazing Wall Audio M50 PSET (Parallel Singe Ended) mono block tube amplifiers was just released on The StereoTimes.

Key Kim wrote: "...the Wall Audio’s midrange is glorious in timbre, tone color, liquidity, and freedom from grain. Its ability to bring to life, music’s underlining emotions was as impressive as I have heard in its price range and above. The M50 renders instruments and voices with a natural and organic quality. It didn’t matter whether I was listening to chamber music or female vocalists. Listening to Cassandra Wilson’s vinyl recording of the New Moon Daughter was exceptional. The M50 reproduced Wilson’s husky and hypnotic voice exquisitely; there was a fabulous amount of details. The pitch precision and subtle volume changes that convey feelings and moods were presented with a great sense of musical realism and emotional involvement..."

The PowerCell 12 UEF is the first PowerCell to utilize Graphene to dramatically increase EM Cell efficiency.

Voxativ 9.87: One of the very best sounds of the show - Jack Roberts of Dagogo


Voxativ 9.87 at T.H.E. Show Newport Beach 2016Voxativ 9.87 Speakers (room 317) have been acclaimed by several top audiophile critics as being one of a handful of best-sounding rooms at T.H.E. Show Newport 2016. Now more kudos have been added to the growing list of honors.

Jack Roberts of Dagogo wrote in his article "2016 T.H.E. Show Newport Beach Report, Part 3: Mega-systems": "...the sound was as good or better than anything at the show at any price. I love single-driver speakers and even with the bass extender, the sound was that of one of the best single-driver speakers I have ever heard. Again, let me say this was easily one of the very best sounds of the show. In price, it’s not quite a mega-system, but in sound it surely was!"
