Focus Fidelity Filter Designer Room Correction Software

Room correction is catching on in the two channel world. Some will read this first sentence and think that I have lost my mind, some will say “of course,” and others will say “really, I had no idea.” Room correction is easily one of the most debated topics by audiophiles, and ranks up there with… Read More »

Moon Audio Silver Dragon Headphone Cables

Do cables make a difference? It is a question I get asked quite often, and it is a question that Audiophiles have debated since the beginning of time. I am not going to directly address that question in this review because for me it does not matter. The way my headphone system is setup, I… Read More »

Zu Union 6 Loudspeakers

Zu really impressed me this year. I have listened to their speakers in the past but, when I heard the Soul VI in my room I fell in love. So much so, that I bought them immediately after I completed my review. When I was working on that review, Phil, Zu’s business advisor, told me… Read More »

ampsandsound Red October Amplifier

Black on Black Red October with Western Electric 300Bs and U52s ampsandsound continues to surprise and delight me. Last year it was with the Rockwell, which showed me what a DHT amplifier built around a less well known tube could do. ampsandsound also rolled out the new Agartha and converted their entire lineup (with the… Read More »

Wells Audio Cipher DAC

My journey in high end audio started with Digital to Analog converters (DACs). The first piece of audio gear I bought was a Yulong D100 DAC/Headphone amplifier. Since then I have listened to 30+ different high end DACs ranging from $100 to $25,000+. During this process, I  discovered that my personal tastes lean towards DACs… Read More »

AURALiC Sirius G2.1 and Aries G2.1

These days it seems like many high end manufacturers are building all in one digital front ends. What I mean by that is one box that consists of both the DAC and Streamer. On paper this approach makes a lot of sense. With the rise of Roon and HD digital music services, many audiophiles are… Read More »

WyWires Diamond and Platinum Cables

Before I start this review I want to make one thing clear, I love WyWires. To be clear the reason I love WyWires is because they have been the only cable brand that I have found that truly enhances my system without any drawbacks. They are not cheap, but the cables act more like components… Read More »
