Disclaimer: Shanling sent the Q1 to me for a review at Headfonics. That you can read here: Shaling Q1 review. I also reviewed it at ohm-image. I paid nothing for it and have enjoyed it immensely. It is a pre-production unit in special reviewer purple. Production versions look different. They also come in boxes. NOTE: This text is verbatim the text found at ohm-image.net. I am the publisher of the original text and own ohm-image. I ain't no pirate. For full photos, hit up the original, again here: ohmage to the Shanling Q1 Companion RMAA...

As has been tradition for some of the sites I run, the below text is a verbatim version of the original review, which can be found at the link below this paragraph. At that link more illustrative photos can also be found. ohmage to the Cayin N6ii That review has also been turned into the following YouTube video: And now for the review text. Review begin: Disclaimer: Cayin Japan kindly loaned me the N6MKII for the purposes of this review, an RMAA article, and more. I’ve had the N6MKII since late October last year. In quick succession I tore...

NOTE I: The full text with illustrative photographs is at ohm-image, linked below. I own ohm image and personally decided to upload the text, verbatim. This was my decision, but I give no one else the same permission. review: ohmage to the JVC HA-FW10000 NOTE II: I have a companion YouTube review coming up which I will also link in this review. Disclaimer: I do not own this earphone. I want to own this earphone. I’ll do almost anything for this earphone. I borrowed it for a few days for a photo shoot and was only able to spend a handful of hours...

Note: this review is verbatim from the ohm image article I published Friday on the Campfire Audio Comet. If you'd like to see more photos, please visit the original. Otherwise, here it is. Also note: ohmage is good, porridge is bad. Original: ohmage to the Campfire Audio Comet Disclaimer: I received Comet directly from Campfire Audio in Tokyo. I paid nothing for it nor have I been prompted to return it. It goes for 199$. Hit up Campfire Audio for more about it. No earphone as Comet small shines as Comet much. No earphone as Comet small is as...

I picked up these earphones a few weeks ago from Musica Acoustics. I'm a fan of ortofon's earlier earphones, though more a fan of the e-Q5 than the e-Q7. The e-Q8 provides a more nuanced listen than the e-Q7, mainly in that it is more forward, more bitey. It is quite a bit more aggressive than the e-Q5, but not fatiguing from too much high emphasis. What it does possibly overdue is upper mids. I think some people will find it a bit too much. With the right genres: folk, rock, small ensemble vocal, traditional, it is phenomenal. Not a fan of it with...

    This is a rewording and shortening of the Ω image DUET review. More pictures there, easier access and way bigger community here!   Yes, I've been following Cypher Labs' stuff from the beginning. Why? I'm into the same thing Jude is: game changing. The original Solo is still a fav. DAC of mine. But DUET may be the item that redefines Cypher Labs. No longer are they a DAC manufacturer. As much as I love the Theorem 720, I am not completely convinced. Why? Too much noise from the headphone output. Even my DJ1Pro could detect it. That is too...

    This is based on a comparative review of the Rx MKIII-B and Rx MKIII-B+ I recently finished.   I've been one of the biggest Rx fans since 2009. ALO's experience has grown since then, and the high-end market has blossomed into a hi-def, balanced one. RXIII-B carries the Rx tradition of excellence forward. Rx still is one of the best all-round portable amps out there. But today's MKIII-B+ more than one-ups it in power, battery life, and connection quality/options. Power-wise, it is enough to push LCD-2s to semi-dangerous levels without...

  I'm such a newb. Pretty sure I should have uploaded image for the PURE II from Vorzüge's website. I used the one I took. I hope that doesn't wreck this review. Coincidentally (and also quite obviously) this is my first time adding a new product. And, I tried posting this before, but got it by mistake, into the PURE I box. MODS: feel free to kill me or the old thread.   Anyways, onto the review:   I did my best not to effuse about the PURE II at ohm image. I think I got away pretty clean. I did not get away from the PURE II though. And though I...

  There is no entry for PURE II, so I have added this review to the original PURE, which I also love... just not as much.    I did my best not to effuse about the PURE II at ohm image. I think I got away pretty clean. I did not get away from the PURE II though. And though I have several camera lenses to shoot rather meticulously for some relentlessly hounding magazines, I cannot get away from my desk, from Bruce Springsteen, or from the PURE II. Currently, I have the 600Ω Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones on. The PURE II runs them just fine on low...

If you want to read me ramble on more about haptics and finish quality, head to Ω image's review.    I know it is a year on and this earphone is no longer en vogue. However, I reviewed it. Take that world! ARggggh!   Why has it taken so long for me to get this on? Well, because I take a long time. Yes, even if the review is short. And I've sort of changed opinions on a few things, preferring items that guarantee long-term investments. Items that are well-designed (not just for looks) to be comfortable, strong, and that don't get in the way- these...

      I've been a fan of Earsonics since the SM2. Then the SM3. I found the SM3 to be almost perfect and the SM2 to sometimes be too dull. Actually, the SM3 had a similar voice.    SM64 came along and surprised me.   1: it looked exactly like the SM3, even down to the accessories 2: it sounded way better than both the SM2 and SM3 3: it rarely hisses, and when it does, it is because the source is either too powerful or is absolute crap.   Numbers 2 and 3 are absolute killer points for the SM64. And number 3 really pulls straight into...

The full review of this nice amp is up at TouchMyApps. For the sake of brevity, the L3 is a fascinating amp because it is positioned in the market as a premium product. It certainly does a good job of performing into any set of headphones and earphones. Low Ω earphones don't daunt it, and unless you are pushing 100% volume at high gain WITH bass boost, the signal will remain strong into DT880 600Ω level headphones from the battery. Mains will fix any errors otherwise.   There is a slight noise in the signal with sensitive earphones and the output...
