 The six hundred and fifty dollar XD looks very similar to the original mini log. It'S got the same metal front, plate wooden back minimal black knobs and lightly textured switches as the rest of the line. It'S a design, that's quickly becoming iconic, and it doesn't just look great. It feels great too

 I'Ve only had it a few days and have mostly been playing with the presets, but the sheer range of tones you can get is simply stunning. If you need proof just check out the music playing now, it was made entirely with the mini log XD, including the drums. The only external processing I did was to add a little compression and EQ enabled [ Music ] Gorga's landed on some sort of magic formula that many of its competitors simply haven't figured out yet and when it comes to bang for your buck analog since there's still The company to be [ Music, ], you [, Music, ] 

 It'S a design, that's quickly becoming iconic, and it doesn't just look great. It feels great too. The knobs and switches are satisfying and they feel like they were harvested from the sort of tank like since companies built in the 70s. The only real knock here is the keys just like the original mini log

Korg Minilogue XD Review

 Somehow, I’m beginning  to wonder if the JD-08 isn’t the more interesting synth out of the two  new boutiques (and, as already mentioned, I’m really interested in this  form factor so there are few other options for me in this case). It just  seems like the JD-08 is sparkling a bit more, while still having the  ability to produce retrowave-compatible sounds.

* If I have batteries inserted and power it through usb-c, I would  expect it to seamlessly switch from usb-c power to battery if I unplug  the USB cable. Instead, it just shuts down. I lost a sound design in  process as a result of the USB cable coming loose, despite batteries  inside.

* The form factor is really neat. The build quality is great. It’s  heavier than I thought and perhaps not as easy to use on the lap unless  you have a healthy back and neck of a 20-year old (I’m not one of those  anymore, I’m afraid!), but the fact that it’s battery powered and can be  powered by usb-c is amazing and makes it so easy to plug and play. I  have a small pair of wired 3

5mm earbuds that I keep connected to it all  the time. It’s small enough that I can keep it in my narrow little  bedside table drawer, meaning it’s always close by when I feel like a  quick jam. The faders move a little too easily for my taste, but they’re  very responsive and accurate, so in practice they’re a joy to use.

 And you don't have to connect a myriad of costly external effects units. This is one of the reasons I chose the Minilogue XD over the original Minilogue. Synth aficionados online may claim that these effects are not high quality enough, but this is an exaggeration - the built-in effects sound incredible. On the Moog Grandmother there's an authentic spring reverb tank for analog reverb

 - When using a particular program/preset, none of the physical knobs reflect the current state of the synth. However, it's not intuitive that you have to press Shift + Play for the "panel load function". While I understand that this is a limitation of an analog synth with built-in programs, I feel that there should be a dedicated "panel load" button. Certainly, it should be mentioned in more than just a subsection in the hard-to-locate online-only PDF manual

  Is it perfect? No. I would love more voices, a full filter envelope generator, maybe another LFO, 24db/octave ladder filter for a meaner filter sweep. Does it sound like a Matriarch or OB-6? Not quite. But in many respects it's so much more, for much less money

Summary: This is a perfect analog synth to get you started. Plenty of capability to keep you hooked as you advance.  - A major factor in my decision to get this synth was the excellent design. The intuitive layout of all the knobs and switches along with the display and built-in effects is simply not found in any other analog synth of this size, quality or price

  - A major factor in my decision to get this synth was the excellent design. The intuitive layout of all the knobs and switches along with the display and built-in effects is simply not found in any other analog synth of this size, quality or price. The use of digital menus to change settings (ie. "menu diving") is very limited, which is ideal for a beginner

Absolutely incredible all-in-one synth solution - UPDATE after 2 years

 As far as I know, and according to raw sonic capability, the Minilogue xd is the best you can buy at this price point.  (CONS) Things I don't like:  -Limited modular capabilities; if you're interested in going down the rabbit-hole of modular synthesis, you might be disappointed that the Minilogue xd has a CV in/out and sync-in/out capability for modular expansion and experimentation.  -Complexity & Potential; This point would definitely be in the "Pro" section of this review if I had more knowledge and experience. I've discovered that there's a massive learning curve to overcome when becoming familiar with sound synthesis, so this was an issue for me when I first bought the Minilogue xd

  -Waveform Visualizer; It's been an invaluable learning tool to have a visual reference for the sounds. It's probably not a selling point for those with more experience using synthesizers, but as a beginner this was a huge resource for me. It also just looks really cool, and makes the product seem more legit.  -Price Point; from reading dozens of reviews and comparisons, and talking to veteran synthesizer enthusiasts and a few industry professionals, you're not going to find too many options as powerful as the Minilogue xd for this price

So last week I had the privilege of demo’ing a pair of Revel M106 and KEF R3. As I’m sure many are already getting ready to angrily type out to me, yes the set up is FAR from ideal - but it’s what I had to work with. And I have to say, they both handled it pretty well from what I can tell. 

 I’d say overall the Revel’s are more “mature” and neutral, whilst the KEFs are a little more energetic at the top end to the point where they may be a little harsh. Both handled bass well but differently - KEFs were obviously harder hitting, but the Revels seemed to hold the detail a bit better, even if they didn’t feel as low. Mids in my opinion were much of a muchness - maybe with the Revels being a little clearer when watching movies, dialogue wise. 

Overall impressions is that these two speakers are fairly close. I trialed both in near-field and mid-field using my NAD c368, and I’m having trouble deciding which I want to buy.

If I’m being 100% objective about it, I prefer the sound of the M106s, but am finding it hard to love the look of them. 

Bro how tf do you have THREE pairs of speakers but at no point stopped to consider stands @_@

Don’t buy an ugly or bright speaker. Keep shopping 🛒 maybe try the Buchart S400 Mark 2

Upgrade time has never been so hard

This is my first TRUE Hifi System. Yes! I am aware that I don't have walls, but I do have priorities..

I recently purchased a pair of Bowers and Wilkins 706 S2 Bookshelf speakers, that are sitting on STAV 24 Stands, and are being powered by my also new NAD C368. So far I am very impressed with the sound of these stand mounters, especially in the imaging department! I am still considering eventually investing in a subwoofer to accompany these speakers in order to really hit those low notes.

First True HIFI System

Two weeks now and I’m hearing spectacular sound and great definition. Bass line is clean and natural that's only there when the music calls for it. Of course, my speakers have to take some of the credit for the great sound. I’m using PSB Imagine T towers and the SVS SB 2000 sub

 Of course, my speakers have to take some of the credit for the great sound. I’m using PSB Imagine T towers and the SVS SB 2000 sub. This NAD C 368 made them sound distinctly better when compared with my older Creek amp.

 These are two times optical in two times: SPDIF in one moving, magnet, phono input, two line inputs and a pair of pre-outs that double as subwoofer outputs. For linking infrared signals with other components. There are an input and an output.

 The third option is a USB input for playing music from your computer. Directly., The review sample was fitted with the BluOS module on my request.

. When we go to the crowded main PCB, we see a DAC on a piggyback PCB quite close to the Bluetooth radio.. That’S not the preferred way unless you make it work

 On the right, the IEC power inlet with fuse and power switch. Further to the left two times, four binding posts for connecting the speakers. When two pairs of speakers Are used, these should have a minimum impedance of 8 ohms.

NAD C368 BluOS streaming dac/amplifier

Some of us like a large collection of boxes
to compose a stereo setup from.

Others don’t even want to see a single piece
of equipment in the room.

If this paints the picture of your marriage
and if you still want a decent quality music

reproduction, the C368 might be the answer.

Don’t get me wrong, this NAD has the same
dimensions as other amps but it has slots

on the rear that can hold a BluOS streaming
module that also does MQA decoding.

NAD introduced the modular design construction
- MDC for short- in 2006 and when they did,

But it did and now a range of amplifiers and
receivers come with one or more MDC slots.

A second MDC module offers three HDMI inputs
and one HDMI passthrough.

The third option is a USB input for playing
music from your computer directly.

The review sample was fitted with the BluOS
module on my request.

This module not only provides you with the
BluOS streamer, but like all BluOS streamers
