CES 2017

The Micromega M-One

Herb Reichert Jan 11, 2017

The Micromega M-One has more features than any of those silver-age contraptions, but to my eye, it is the purest, most high-design-beautiful audio machine on the planet. And, of course, it's made in France.

CES 2017

Ypsilon's Silver Step-Up Transformer

Larry Greenhill Jan 11, 2017

The most stunning Ypsilon product on display was their MC-26L-SLV silver-wire step-up transformer ($18,500), sitting next to the turntable in the room's live exhibit&#133

The No.523 features six line-level inputs, a phono preamplifier, and a headphone amplifier (there's a 1/4" jack on the preamp's front panel)

CES 2017

VTL's TP-2.5i Series II Phono Preamplifier

Herb Reichert Jan 11, 2017

I visited the VTL room three times, collecting photos and data, and every time Luke was smiling his big Luke-smile: "Herb, how can I help you?" The room was well-litand yet I failed to get good pictures.

CES 2017

Hegel Music Systems Röst

Herb Reichert Jan 11, 2017

Perhaps because of Bent Holter's recent revision of his "distortion-reducing" SoundEngine technology, the elegant Röst drove the desktop-mounted KEF-LS50s with purity, lust, and musical authority

CES 2017

Bel Canto REF600M Monoblocks

Herb Reichert Jan 11, 2017

It looks pro-school Paul Newman racing-driver cool, especially in black. It puts out 300W into 8 ohms and 600W into 4 ohms, and can deliver a peak output current of 27A. Did I mention each amp weighs only 15.4 pounds? (I could carry both channels home on the subway.)

CES 2017 Jake Shimabukuro CES 2017

Jake Shimabukuro in the dCS Suite at the Mirage

Jon Iverson Jan 10, 2017

Covering CES with a perpetual smile and fresh ears is usually a challenge. But sometimes, you can feel like the luckiest reporter alive when everything falls into place.

Yes, it'll sound like I'm gushing, but unless you meet him, it's hard to comprehend what a positive and gracious human being Jake Shimabukuro is. Everywhere we went he stuck his hand out and, with a smile, exhibited unending excitement and curiosity at what he was hearing. And watching him play, up close and in person, is amazing. But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
