My main review is here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/764001/review-riva-turbo-x-high-performance-premium-mobile-bluetooth-speaker-plus-headquarters-tour   This will house the TL;DR version.   I listened to the RIVA TURBO X Premium Bluetooth Speaker for the first time when I attended CanJam, and adored the fidelity and the potential loudness of the sound that was emitting from the speaker!    Shortly after listening to the speaker, I was able to tour their facility in Fountain Valley, CA for an in-depth look into the company.   Everyone who I met...

My main review is here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/762142/review-earwerkz-legend-omega-and-legend-r-with-comparisons.   This will house the TL;DR version:   The awesome customer service, comfortable fit, and an auditory experience like no other, EarWerkz manages to pull off a full house, a three-minute mile and maybe even Ellis Coleman's Flying Squirrel!     Here's a couple of snippets from the review:   ...The Legend R is neutral focused, but leans towards the warmer side with a bass gradient. The presentation is simply one of the most...

Whiplash Audio TWau Reference Gold Plated Silver - With Comparison       A thank you is in order – to Head-Fi member, warrior1975 for loaning me his Whiplash Audio TWau Reference Gold Plated Silver Cable for review.  Ever since I purchased a universal IEM that allowed 3rd party earphone cables to be interchanged, I was interested in researching more about earphone cables, and what types of elemental materials would possibly alter the sound signatures compared to the respective IEM’s stock cables.  I am also a minimalist regarding wanting the...

Tralucent Audio Reference 1 – With Comparisons     I would first like to give a huge thanks to Head-Fi member, warrior1975 for loaning me his Ref. 1 and TWau cable for review.  I was interested in hearing what the hub-bub was all about regarding the Ref. 1.  I was interested further because most people who have heard it either love the musicality of the Ref. 1, or they do not like the musicality - there never seems to be any middle ground.  After listening to the Ref. 1, I now understand both sides of the opinions.   Here are some quick...

        Ray Samuels Audio – The Intruder   The Intruder is a fully Balanced input-output headphone/earphone amp as well as a USB DAC by Ray Samuels Audio.  I was able to borrow The Intruder from a friend for a couple of weeks, and as a result would like to give my impressions of the DAC/amp, as well as comparisons of the Balanced and SE outputs.  I am using my Shure SE846 with Sensaphonics Custom Sleeves, HL Silver Litz SE cable and my friend's HL Silver Balanced cable, with the iPhone 5 and PC (Windows 7 Ultimate) as sources.   The Intruder...
