The Project M is a triumph in streamlining production and design whilst maintaining quality and identity.
The Fathom appeals to those wanting an upgrade over the previous Andromeda variants and successfully fills the gap created by the more radically changed Emerald Sea as Campfire Audio’s premium all-rounder.
The Instinct is a creation of warmth, power and space that epitomizes the subjective nature of the hobby atop marvellous driver and acoustic design.
The Omnium earns my highest recommendation for those valuing all-around balance and transparency alongside standout technical ability.
Satin Audio prove that their designs deserve no less praise and attention than the big players, with the Hera impressing in all regards and making a notable and positive sonic impact.
The MagicOne represents terrific value and appeals to those wanting excellent long-term listenability whilst upholding a natural timbre and excellent resolution.
Boasting excellent dynamics, a spacious stage and smooth, clean treble, this isn’t just a cable for Kinera’s IEMs but a high-end design of similar esteem to any premium boutique cable.
Unabashedly coloured, fun and vibrant, the E12 is a paragon of energy, offering a well-realized V-shaped tuning with excellent technical ability.
The URD is a strong overall package that isn’t perfect but has an enticing blend of qualities suiting those wanting a coherent yet dynamic sound.,
Though lacking the pizzaz of competitors, the MACH 80 masterfully combines a diffuse-field neutral-inspired tuning with all-day listenability and comfort making it an appealing all-around package.
The loss of separation and balance do mire an otherwise impressive and capable platform meaning the Emerald Sea appeals more to bass lovers also wanting superb resolving power rather than fans of the original models.
The OH700VB is a prime instance where we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, providing a super engaging, thumping sub-bass that has been meticulously tuned not to encroach upon the Harman-inspired midrange and treble.
The Avant offers sensational bass performance and a vibrant, engaging and toe-tapping sound that still upholds excellent balance with a functional tuning switch on top.
The OD200 is an interesting IEM that has notably more niche appeal than most, focusing on responsiveness, richness and outstanding long-term listenability.
If you’re looking for a handsome DAC/AMP with a few handy extras and offers a smooth yet detailed sound, the Navigator is a winner.
