NATURALLY!
The ATC SCM50PSL play astonishingly unspectacular – as long as there is only porridge on the recording, the British only serve bland soft food. A spectacle for the sake of a spectacle is not what the SCM50PSL does, they claim to be too civilized, too neutral, too correct on the whole. But woe, the canned clay has tonal flavor – then it gets fiery.

Pushing the play button on the new Technics OTTAVA SC-C70MK2, with a MoFi copy of the Superfly soundtrack fills the room with a big, broad soundfield and a solid bass line. Technics has hit nothing but home runs since they re-entered the high-end audio world with a passion about five or six years ago. Their depth of manufacturing and engineering expertise is without peer, and the products they’ve built have heavily leveraged their heritage, while being fashion forward at the same time. It’s a great combination.

Adding a music library server to your network to centralise all your digital audio files is becoming increasingly popular. Melco has been one of the leaders in this category with an extensive range of models spanning the N1A/2 4TB HDD (HFC 424) and N1ZH/2 6TB HDD (HFC 438) through to the flagship N1ZS/2A 2TB solid-state music server with 2TB SSD storage. With prices for these components increasing, Melco has released the N100 to provide a new first rung on its ladder.
The balance of this review will now focus on the Magnepan MG1.7i speaker. However, a number of the themes outlined previously are very applicable to the 1.7i and touch directly on the speaker’s remarkably lifelike sound (and “lifelike” is perhaps the most noteworthy attribute that can be bestowed on an audio component).

In 2013, ATC delivered the current, third generation SCM7 that you see before you, this was the first to feature the company’s own tweeter, developed in-house by Richard Newman, alongside a proprietary ATC mid/bass driver. It was also the first showing of the formed and laminated curved side cabinet that is now seen across the SCM range and developed to increase both stiffness and damping, not to mention reducing internal reflections.

The Electrocompaniet Tana SL-2 is designed for use in a smaller room, maybe as a second system in a bedroom or kitchen, or you can set them up around the house as a multi-room system. Although compact I found the Tana, particularly in its two speaker stereo configuration, worked well even in the large, high ceilinged living/listening room that we have downstairs.
I must admit to being someone who never used to enjoy hearing the words ‘wireless’ and ‘speaker’ used in close proximity. The market is full of cheap, almost disposable, options, however, the Electrocompaniet offering is in the class of the likes of the iFi Aurora, Devialet Phantoms and Naim Musos, being a high-quality build with ‘proper’ HiFi credentials.

Technics CD player, SACD player, network streamer and DAC is a really interesting product – but I can’t help but feel that we are witnessing something that fifteen years from now, will feel akin to one of those old hybrid VHS/DVD video recorders from the mid-nineteen nineties. In other words, it’s a super-clever do-everything design – but very much of its time.

Podjetje, ki ga je sredi osemdesetih let ustanovil Olé Møller, je vedno imelo kaj za ponuditi izkušenim avdiofilom, zlasti tistim, ki iščejo kombinacijo cevne tehnologije, visokokakovostne izdelave in tipično skandinavskega dizajna.
…..
Zanimivo je, da ta tipično skandinavski koncept vključuje nekaj zanimivih, značilnih za Copland lastnosti, kot so aluminijasto ohišje z debelo, ravno sprednjo ploščo, krog z infrardečim senzorjem in LED v sredini, ki uporabnika obveščajo o načinu delovanja naprave in aktivnem vhodu. in tudi čudoviti gumbi, od katerih tistega, ki je odgovoren za nadzor glasnosti, odlikujejo nenavadne oznake (čeprav deluje natančno tako kot večina analognih gumbov).

Britansko podjetje za akustične pretvornike, danes znano kot tehnologija zvočnikov ATC, je leta 1974 ustanovil Billy Woodman. Njegov prvi in najpomembnejši cilj je bila izdelava elektroakustičnih pretvornikov po meri, ki bi jih lahko uporabljali tako v profesionalnih kot domačih zvočnikih. Manufaktura je hitro pridobila slavo po zaslugi 12-palčnega pretvornika PA75-314, ki je zasnovan za odrski zvočni sistem, kjer je potrebna prenos moči z najmanjšim možnim popačenjem. READ MORE
