Raidho TD2.2 Loudspeaker
Raidho takes its name from Norse mythology and the ‘journey of life’, and in the right system these TD2.2 floorstanders have every chance of completing your path to the ultimate hi-fi experience. There are caveats, however, not least in the costly toll taken by its enhanced in-house engineering, exotic driver materials, Nordost internal wiring and […]
Continue readingShunyata Research Sigma NR v2 Power Cord/ The Absolute Sound
“A friend recently asked me, because of the silver in the VTX-Ag conductor, whether its signature was on the analytical side of the equation or the “warmer and richer” side that some legacy Shunyata power cords, e.g. the “CX Series,” were known for. It occurred to me that I had never considered this question because […]

Continue readingAudio Note Vindicator Silver and M2 Phono
“In such instrumental passages, the aforementioned “Audio Note Punch” becomes particularly clear: Individual notes – even harmonics of guitar chords – are present as if they had received an extra portion of energy on the way into my ear, large drums sound dark, substantial, powerful and yet precise and fast. The audio notes combine rather […]

Shunyata Research Hydra Alpha A12 power conditioner, by Jeff Fritz (SoundStage! Ultra, April 2020): “It lowered the noise floor of my audio system, letting me experience cleaner sound with music that demands the absolute quietest background for proper reproduction (in my experience, mostly strings).”

Its performance rests on four major sonic pillars working in synergy: velvety textures, remarkable timbre fidelity, superb soundstage transparency and image focus, and a satisfying […]

After a month with the Audio Note UK TT3/Arm 3/II and IQ3 I continue to be mesmerized by how truly superb the sound quality is here. It has forced me to re-evaluate what is possible from vinyl and has also made me revisit past reviews which did not have the benefit of this exceptional source. […]

Either way, I think the SPU should stay in production forever. It’s the only audio device I can name that lives up to the true meaning of ‘nice’ without any of the damning-with-faint-praise connotations that word has acquired. The Ortofon MC2000 is tonic for the brain – the SPU is tonic for the soul. For […]

Shunyata Research’s excellent Delta NR v2 really ticks all the boxes. It cuts through power line noise like a cleaver yet works on fine detail like a surgeon’s scalpel, but never once leaving the music sounding anything other than really enjoyably musical. An excellent choice. For the full review, click here.
