Ayre Acoustics says its EX-8 is an “Integrated Hub”.
25/05/2020Ayre Acoustics says its EX-8 is an “Integrated Hub”. I know. I too wondered what an ‘integrated hub’ might be, having never previously heard of such a component. ....As well as give them an idea of what type of amplification might also build in.

Tellurium Q Ultra Black 2 DIN - RCA Phono cable
07/04/2020This is another for the brand new tonearms cable: "While many similar tonearm cables from this price point do well to translate both detail, bass grunt and clarity, the Ultra Black II really did take all three areas onto a new level. " Paul Rigby, theaudiophileman.com

Ayre QB-9 Twenty review
04/04/2020“The QB-9 Twenty really surprised me by how great it sounds in my system. I say surprised because I've been listening to reference level DACs for quite a while from the likes of dCS (Rossini), EMM Labs (DV2), and Berkeley Audio Design (RS3), and the QB-9 Twenty absolutely held its own against these guys and delivered a level of performance that it had no right to deliver.”

Rogers LS3/5a Stereophile 01/04/2020

LUMIN T2 Network Player Review
19/03/2020The LUMÏN T2 network player is one of the best streamers at its price then and is also easy to use. T2 is stable in operation and very good built. Effectively a scaled-down version of the flagship Lumin X1, you get an awful lot for your money – and as such comes warmly recommended.

Great review of the Ultra Black II comparing it to the old Ultra Black RCA.
17/03/2020Great review of the Ultra Black II comparing it to the old Ultra Black RCA. “Tellurium Q's new Ultra Black II is something special at the price. It has insight, grip and focuses that you usually have to pay a lot more for – allied to an impressive lack of colouration and dramatic dynamics.” David Price, Stereonet Thank you Stereonet

Ayre KX-R and VX-R review What HiFi
12/03/2020What is the best amplifier in the world? Does such a thing even exist? Much depends on the definition of what ‘best’ actually means, and the context in which the amp used. But if sonic honesty and engineering integrity are anywhere near the top of your priorities – and the hefty price doesn’t make you baulk – we think this Ayre pre/power pairing is in with a big shout. It’s certainly the most insightful amplifier we’ve reviewed in years.

Lumin X1 Network Player Reviewed
03/01/2020Specifications of the Network player Lumin X1, you quickly get the idea that this network streamer is making a case to not only compete with (and maybe beat?) the most elite streamers available today, but also those likely to come over the next several years. First, Lumin keeps power outside the streamer's chassis with a dual toroidal external AC-to-DC power supply. The external power supply is also available as an upgrade for Lumin S1, A1, U1, and T1 owners with its connection cable included.

Lumin X1 review The Absolute Sound
31/12/2019"Low-level detail through the Lumin X1 was also as good as I’ve heard from any digital source, any time, any place... I was impressed by the system’s ability to retain not only proper pitch but also the texture of the bass." "Not only is the X1 a first-class component, but the support behind the Lumin is also as stellar as the unit itself." "Outstanding... gets everything right and does it all with style"

Hana ML Review THE EAR
25/11/2019The Hana M series cartridges cryogenically treated from the cantilever through high purity copper coils and out to the connecting pins, they also have Alnico magnets, luxuries not found in their more affordable counterparts. The Hana ML tracks at 2g and offers a 0.4mV output which should be sufficient for any MC stage but would require a step-up transformer if used with an MM phono amp.

Ayre QX-8 Review HIFI & Records
14/11/2019A few weeks ago Ayre's new DXA and Streamer QX-8 was tested by HiFi & records magazine. "The QX-8 stands out in terms of sound with it's transparent, dynamic and tonally extremely finely graded presentation", the conclusion is. Author Marius Donadello also describes a feeling that we know only too well from listening with Ayre components: "The highly atmospheric style of the QX-8 puts me in a state of full attention while deep relaxation."

HANA MH AND ML MOVING COIL CARTRIDGES review by Alan Sircom
18/10/2019If you are into vinyl and haven't been holed up in an Ecuadorian embassy for the last few years, the name 'Hana' will probably not have escaped your attention. Japanese expert brand making high performance moving coil cartridges is always halfway to the stuff of legend, but the fact these cartridges don't cost a small fortune helps cement that reputation firmly.

Review Tellurium Q ultra Black Speakers cable HIFI Knife
03/10/2019“When playing the best live recordings, the Tellurium Q cable was able to convey the acoustics of the venue and vivid reactions of the audience in a very convincing way deepening the feeling of participation in the event….. I believe that for many people the Ultra Black II may be the end of their search for a still reasonably priced, high quality speaker cable”

Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 anniversary SoundStage review
16/09/2019While the approach a designer adopts in the making of a loudspeaker may be different to peers from around the globe in terms of components used, construction methodologies, differing priorities etc., engineering principles are a converging factor no matter the designer’s in the UK. Having said that, a designer’s own aural biases, his/her interpretation, may differ and therefore diverge a speaker’s sonic tuning, sometimes dramatically.

The Pursuit Perfect System audio reviewer Terry Ellis
05/09/2019The Pursuit Perfect System audio reviewer Terry Ellis, could not resist expressing his amazement by the effect Tellurium Q Statement cables had on the sound on his review system from the first hour. Set of speakers’ cables, power cable and interconnect Statement is what he got for a review and managed to acquire the best of Tellurium effect. Massive improvement, he states, in lots of ways compared to how the system was sounding before. The incredulity he is keen to share could be recognised with ease in his words “… the sound now is on a different planet, hence my excitement…I am speechless. These Statements are unbelievable, unbelievable…”.
