2016Review:Chord Electronic MoJo AMP/DAC – The Traveling Digital Audiophile’s Full Monty
We’ll admit to suffering tiny pangs of jealousy whenever a really cool new headphone amp like the Chord Mojo saunters its way across our review desk. After all, we invented the first portable USB amp/DAC way back in the day (look here for our archive of classic HeadRoom Audio products) and we still know a […]

2016 REVIEW: ASTELL&KERN AKT8IE MKII – AGE OF CONSENT
Disclaimer: Astell&Kern lent me the sample reviewed in this review. The AKT8iE mkii is a single dynamic driver earphone. It goes for 999$ USD.

Review: Nuforce HEM2 – Bizarre Love Triangle
Facing down personal prejudices is odd. Sometimes it is painful. Prior to 2005, I thought that serial composters smelled like old banana peels. Now, I turn grass clippings and vegetable garbage in a Hasselblad shipping crate repurposed for composting. And, for years, I had this thing against earphones and headphones with top end roll offs.
