| The Seven’s Duo: CR-7 and ZX-7 |
This time, I decided to give my fellow collectors of the Tapeheads website a chance to help me write this review about the “last real Nakamichi” model: the fabled CR-7. Many things has been said about this gem and most of the time the common claim is that it tends to sound “clinical”, “sterile” and “cold” when compared to the old classics like the ZX & ZXL series. Some others prefer the auto azimuth alignment and sound of the popular Dragon and the most technical savy don’t loose time explaining that the CR-7 is the only one who has the IEC II conform standard,etc.… Read the full article

Not sound
When they’re not flaunting fake fur, or intimidating a pair of otherwise good-sounding dynamic drivers with balanced armatures, Final Audio are up to good. Tiny, fit, and tough the 7200 are statement products for the entire market.… Read the full article
Die straße entlang / The road ahead
For the past six years, DAR has been headquartered in Sydney. But it’s not an Australian publication.
It wasn’t always this way. Like many a self-starter, early direction came from seeing what stuck. After a year of operation, the site’s visitor stats summary pointed outward, not inward. The largest proportion of readers were coming from the USA and I steered DAR towards a more international outlook.
The upshot was that every DAR article would need to be geographically agnostic: global – and not local – product announcements, reviews and show reports were the order of the day.

Thank you Samsung! Perhaps, even, thank you Consumer Electronics Industry might be in order. When DVD appeared in Australia, players cost $1500 or more. When Blu-ray appeared in Australia, players cost $1800 or more. Now that Ultra HD Blu-ray has appeared in Australia, the first player costs just $599. By the time this review publishes, a second UHD Blu-ray player, from Panasonic, will be available (earlier than expected) at $1099. But for right now, the only player in town is Samsung’s UBD-K8500.… Read the full article
Sennheiser HD 800 S headphones REVIEW
Excepting only the HE 1 Orpheus successor, the HD 800 is Sennheiser’s top-of-the-line headphone: “reference class” they call them, “crafted for perfection”. Earlier this year a new version arrived, the HD 800 S, the main external differentiator being a change from grey to black for the skeletal shell of aviation-grade plastic that surrounds the gleaming silver inner cover. This gives a new sense of purpose to a glamour which is almost entirely engineering-based — their form follows function so much that the aesthetic design team didn’t even get to veto the bold 30pt ‘L’ and ‘R’ indicators painted large at the rear.

When Alpine introduced its first 8-inch face receiver a few years back most remained somewhat reticent, preferring instead to stick with the tried and tested standard DIN sized units rather than dealing with this titanic new development and the issues intrinsic to such girth. Alpine is no john-come-lately and indeed it cunningly predicted the units would be received with some apprehension therefore developing in parallel a whole stable of mounting hardware and dash surround plates. Alpine aptly called this system F.I.T, an acronym for Factory Integration Technology.… Read the full article
