Mal/2 & Eastern Sounds OJC Reissue Reviews: Craft Recordings Resurrects Two Jazz Staples for the Vinyl Faithful

5 days ago | ecoustics.com | Ian White

Have you ever packed and unpacked the same gear so many times that you finally realize—almost a year later—that life just steamrolled your review queue? Doesn’t happen often, but here we are. That one’s on me. I’ve started to unpack three homes in the past 3 months and still haven’t taken a real break in five years. We had to reschedule my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah—thanks to Iran shutting down Israeli airspace with a ballistic light show.
Samsung Expands Onyx Cinema LED Screens Across Europe-Because Projectors Are So Last Century

6 days ago | ecoustics.com | Robert Silva

When Samsung introduced its Onyx LED Cinema Display, it was the first serious challenge to the projector-based setup that’s defined movie theaters for over a century. Instead of beaming light across a room onto a screen, Onyx brought self-emissive LED panels directly into the theater, offering deeper blacks, higher brightness, and no need for a projection booth.
Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6 Soundbar Review: Too Much But Not Quite Enough?

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Chris Boylan

In 2024, Sony expanded their BRAVIA brand from TVs to soundbars, speaker systems and projectors. The company launched two high-end Dolby Atmos-capable soundbar systems (BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 and Bar 9) as well as the flagship BRAVIA Theater Quad home theater speaker system.
SACD Review: The Ultimate Stan Getz & João Gilberto Reissue Offers Both Analog-to-DSD & Plangent Restoration

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Mark Smotroff

Some readers here may recall from my past writings that I’ve long been a fan of Plangent Processes’ audio restoration technology. Used and endorsed by artists like Bruce Springsteen, The Who, and The Grateful Dead—along with early support from the late, great producer Phil Ramone—Plangent has earned its reputation for precision. Now, that same technology has been applied to one of the most iconic Bossa Nova/Jazz recordings ever made: Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz and João Gilberto.
Could This Dark Horse OLED Be the Best TV of 2025?

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Chris Boylan

2025 has been an exciting year for high performance OLED televisions and it’s not even half over yet. We’ve seen an entirely new OLED panel design from LG Display, the Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel, offering a big improvement in brightness, which has previously been OLED’s Achilles Heel.. And Samsung Display has refined their own OLED panel (QD-OLED) with improved brightness and performance as well.
Pro-Ject Uni Box S3: When Austrian Analog Meets WiiM Wizardry in a Streaming Power Play

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Ian White

It’s no secret that WiiM has steamrolled its way into the hi-fi mainstream. Their boxes are small, cheap, and packed with enough streaming features to make most legacy brands break into a nervous sweat. But the real power move? That would be the WiiM OS. It’s clean, intuitive, and actually works—whether you’re a hi-fi lifer or just trying to get out of Bluetooth hell.
Bluesville Records and Craft Recordings Reissue Classic LPs by Memphis Slim & Furry Lewis

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Ian White

If you’re already sweating through your shirt and regretting every summer plan you made, Craft Recordings and Bluesville Records aren’t here to help. They’re here to make it hotter. On August 1st, two stone-cold blues reissues—At the Gate of Horn by Memphis Slim and Back on My Feet Again by Furry Lewis (no relation to Taffey Lewis)—drop on 180-gram vinyl. The dog days just got a new soundtrack. Craft Recordings and Bluesville Records charged into 2025—and damn, it shows.
Final's UX3000 SV Aims High in Wireless Headphone Wars-But Can It Outplay the Big Brands?

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Ian White

The wireless headphone market isn’t just crowded—it’s cannonball-contest-at-a-public-pool crowded. Apple, Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser dominate the deep end with models that eat up shelf space and search traffic. Brands like Focal and Bowers & Wilkins have carved out their premium corner, proving that high-end sound can still make noise if you get the tuning, materials, and comfort right. So where does that leave a brand like Final? Well, in Japan and other parts of Asia, Final is a very big deal.
McIntosh MTI100 Sun Records Turntable: Because Elvis Hated Cheap Gear and Cash Only Rolled With Tubes

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Ian White

Sun Records didn’t just record rock & roll—it set it on fire. Memphis was the crossroads, Sam Phillips was the match, and names like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison were the gasoline. From gospel and blues to hillbilly stomp and western swing, Sun didn’t care what you called it—as long as it moved. Now that same spirit gets the full McIntosh treatment.
Shanling EC Zero T: The Hybrid Tube CD Player for People Who Think Streaming Is for the Lazy

1 week ago | ecoustics.com | Ian White

For those of us who refuse to let high-end CD playback go quietly into that compressed, lossy night—Shanling’s EC Zero T is a little fist in the air. No, we’re not as noisy or nostalgic as the vinyl crowd, but we’re still here, quietly sitting on stacks of silver discs that haven’t aged a day. When you factor in how many CDs were pressed since 1982 and how much streaming has normalized mediocrity, investing in a proper CD player in 2025 doesn’t sound so crazy.
