"I'm delighted that the NVA name lives on and that Richard Dunn's designs have been subtly improved and made more accessible." David Price (Global Editor, Stereonet)

Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a (£2,475)
vs Sound Artist LS3/5a (£600)
Review by Martin Virgo
Introduction
A couple of years ago I decided that I needed a better pair of speakers for my near-field system and naturally my thoughts turned to the BBC LS3/5a. I then noticed that the Chinese manufacturer...
Perfect Sound Forever, All Else is Gaslight
These phrases greeted the introduction of domestic digital music to consumers in 1982.
I immediately went out and bought a Philips CD104 player.
I played the sampler disc and WOW. No crackles, no clicks, no pops. An even frequency response with...
Introduction
A number of months ago our erstwhile editor, George47, asked me to give Roon ‘a go’ and write my impressions. I agreed and parked it in the to-do pile. Without short-circuiting this write-up that was a mistake.
In the following review, I will be examining Roon used in a Nearfield...
Introduction
Hardly the newest DAC on the block I was enthusiastic to hear the DAC3 as I haven’t heard a Benchmark DAC since the originally released DAC1. At that time, I bought the Benchmark rather than the Chord DAC64, which I felt was equally as good but rather more expensive. The comments...
A HiFi WigWam review by Richard Bowles

Eclipse TD307 Mark III (£600)
Review by Mr Underhill
Introduction
Eclipse speakers look like something of a vision of the future in a 1960s film. I love the look. As with all small speakers their form presents a physical constraint, there is going to be little in the way of deep impactful...

Review: Rose RA180 Integrated Amplifier
Design and Features
From the outset, the Rose RA180 seemed intriguing. The industrial design is beautifully executed: though photographs suggest a highly complex visual appearance, in the room it demonstrates a more subtle and...
Project CD Box RS2T and Pre Box RS2 Digital
Kevin Fiske
At a price of £2,200 and £1,900 respectively, Vienna-based Project Audio System’s CD Box RS2T transport and Pre Box RS2 Digital DAC are undoubtedly pushing at the upper limits of what many audiophiles are prepared to pay in order to...
Have you heard a quarter of a million-pound system?
I suspect most of us have, but generally in a space set up in a dealers or a hotel room to accommodate a large-ish number of people; so, hardly an ideal listening environment. My experience is that attention to detail really matters, and that...
HIFI ROSE RS150(B)
There are three words that spring to mind on initial impressions when listening to the Hifi Rose RS150(B). Focus, transparency and finesse. Those initial impressions are still correct over a lengthy review period.
After having the baby brother of this unit, the RS250 in...
