2007 Digital Source Component Chord Choral Blu CD transport & Choral DAC64 D/A processor ($15,400; reviewed by Wes Phillips, Vol.30 No.8, August 2007 review)

Runners-up (in alphabetical order)

Esoteric SA60 SACD player ($4600; reviewed by Michael Fremer, Vol.30 No.10, October 2007 review)

Logitech Slim Devices Transporter WiFi D/A processor ($1999; reviewed by Wes Phillips, Vol.30 No.2, February 2007 review)

Nagra CDP CD player ($13,495; reviewed by Wes Phillips, Vol.30 Nos.5, 7, & 8, May, July, & August 2007 review)

Rega Apollo CD player ($995; reviewed by Art Dudley & Sam Tellig, Vol.29 No.6 & Vol.30 No.3, June 2006 & March 2007 review)

Simaudio Moon Evolution SuperNova CD player ($5900; reviewed by Wes Phillips, Vol.30 No.1, January 2007 review)

With a whopping six first-place votes and 22 votes overall, the eye-poppingly gorgeous Chord combo ran away with the prize, topping the second-place Logitech Transporter by a solid 10 votes. Fortunate Wes first encountered the Chord Choral Blu and DAC64 at CEDIA 2006, and it was nothing less than love at first sight: "My eyes widened. My nostrils flared. I did everything short of snort, paw the ground, and run my trembling hands along these products' well-formed flanks." Alright, maybe that's lust, but you get the point. The Chord combo, each piece a delicate and compact jewel milled from a solid billet of aluminum and anodized in lustrous black, is serene and lovely. More than mere audio jewelry, however, these sexy beasts pack some serious technology. The Choral Blu uses a Philips CD2 transport powered by a switch-mode power supply with its own AC filter, and upsamples digital signals to 88.2 or 176.4kHz before sending them to a Watts Transient Aligned filter. Meanwhile, the DAC64 applies 64-bit, seventh-order noise shaping and 2048x oversampling using Chord-specified Gate Arrays. I know: It almost seems unfair. JA was floored by the Chords' outstanding measured performance. But it's the sound that we really care about, right? The Chord combo nailed that, too. With an uncanny ability to deliver the "life essence" of music-making, the Choral Blu and DAC64 had Wes shouting, "Hallelujah!"

2007 Analog Source Component

Lyra Skala phono cartridge ($3200; reviewed by Michael Fremer, Vol.30 No.3, March 2007 review)

Linn Ekos SE tonearm ($4950; reviewed by Art Dudley, Vol.30 No.10, October 2007 review)


SME M2 tonearm ($1399; reviewed by Michael Fremer, Vol.30 No.5, May 2007)


Transfiguration Orpheus phono cartridge ($5000; reviewed by Michael Fremer, Vol.29 No.12, December 2006) It was an extremely tight race in the category of "Analog Source": three worthy products emerged victorious. The nearly essential Keel subchassis modification for the venerable Linn Sondek LP12 turntable and the smooth and speedy Lyra Skala cartridge each received two first- and two second-place votes, for a total of 10 votes apiece. They barely edged out the rock-solid Kuzma Stabi XL turntable, which earned three first-place votes, for a total of nine votes overall.  For Linnies, the Keel is a godsend. A single-piece subchassis, tonearm board, and Linn-specific tonearm mounting collar, the Keel surpassed Art's every reasonable expectation, providing greater size, richness, and detail without altering the LP12's singular character. "It's like buying a huge piece of land," Art said, "and being given the opportunity to add another 50-year-old tree to the mountainside: crazy, exorbitant—and something no man would pass up if he could afford it." A bit gluttonous? Maybe. But so what? It seemed that Mikey Fremer felt similarly about the Lyra Skala. The first fifth-generation Lyra design matched the speedy transient attack, finely detailed textures, three-dimensional spatial presentation, and tonal neutrality of the Lyra Helikon, but added the warmth and smoothness that the Helikon missed. It was that touch of warmth and smoothness that gave Joni Mitchell's voice just a bit more flesh, Charlie Byrd's guitar just a bit more body and texture. And, around here, we find that getting even the slightest bit closer to our favorite artists is a whole lot of fun. But is it worth the extra money? Definitely, according to Mikey. With the Lyra Skala, you don't just get a cartridge that sounds different; you get one "that sounds considerably better."  Finally, the Kuzma Stabi XL charmed Mikey with its brassy good looks and impressive design. With a 50-lb platter of aluminum and acrylic, two 15-lb brass motor assemblies, and a 30-lb, height-adjustable tonearm tower, the hefty Stabi XL is "a work of mechanical and physical art." Of course, Mikey was most impressed by its way with music. Notes exploded from the speakers and quickly decayed into black backgrounds, leaving behind "convincing musical apparitions." In fact, the Stabi XL was so scary-good that MF considers it among the best turntables currently available. That's saying a lot, coming from a guy who owns a Continuum Audio Labs Caliburn, last year's champion.

VTL Reference TL-7.5 Mk.II preamplifier ($16,500; reviewed by Brian Damkroger, Vol.30 Nos.5 & 6, May & June 2007 review)

Man, talk about sexy—when the Ayre Acoustics MX-Rs walk into the room, you better lock the doors, pull down the shades, get the kids to cover their eyes. When Wes originally submitted his MX-R review, the entire Stereophile office—the people, the walls, the windows, everything—caught fever and blushed. He wrote: "I kept gazing at my hi-fi shelves, visually caressing the sleek Ayre MX-R monoblocks. Sexy? God help me, I do think so." Who could blame him? Artfully carved from a 75-lb billet of aluminum, each MX-R is routed into "a hunka hunka shiny, anodized audio presence." Plus, the MX-R is a total powerhouse. Check the specs: output power of 300W (600W into 4 ohms), frequency range of 0Hz–250kHz, input impedance of 2 megohms. And all this in a sleek, compact shell just 11" W by 3.75" H by 18.75" D—an audio lover's dream. In the end, though, the MX-R's sex appeal was "just gravy." It was its sound that most tickled Wes. The Ayre's ability to present the complete musical picture, portraying the clarity of individual parts as well as the wonderful whole, was unrivaled. And it wasn't just Wes who thought so—the MX-R monoblocks won more first-place votes than any other component in our competition, and outscored our runners-up, the DarTZeel NHB-18NS and Krell Evolution 600, by a stunning 13 votes.

Wilson Benesch Arc ($4500/pair; reviewed by John Marks, Vol.30 No.10, October 2007 review)



The Wilson WATT/Puppy 8 edged out the Dynaudio Confidence C4 by only two votes in this year's competition. Judging by looks alone, an outsider might conclude that these two designs couldn't possibly occupy the same component category—if the Dynaudio is a loudspeaker, then the Wilson must be something else. But these excellent performers merely take different routes to stirring our emotions and conveying music's charms. As Wes points out in his review, the WATT/Puppy system has always been symbolic of the High End's fanatical devotion to detail. While the "meticulously constructed" W/P8 retains the W/P7's two 8" woofers and 7" midrange driver, it uses a new 1" titanium-dome tweeter derived from that used in Wilson's MAXX 2. To improve on the WATT's already stellar design, David Wilson worked hard to better control the release of stored energy. The implementation of an "anti-jitter" crossover circuit and Wilson's refined M composite material seem to have done the trick. Wes concluded, "What was a very good speaker to begin with has just gotten better." Mr. Phillips also had the pleasure of living with our second winner, the "freaking large" Dynaudio C4. With its twin tweeters flanked first by twin 6" midrange units and then by twin 8" woofers, the C4 stands 69" tall and 17.5" deep, but somehow manages to remove itself from the scene, leaving behind only the performers and the performance space, and absolutely transporting the listener. Wes thought he could actually hear drummer Louie Bellson listening as he followed Sarah Vaughan's lead. Impossible? Probably, but that sort of illusion is what this hobby is all about.

2007 Joint Multichannel Music Components
Audio Research MP1 multichannel preamplifier ($7495; reviewed by Kalman Rubinson, Vol.30 No.9, September 2007 review)


Cary Audio Design Cinema 11 preamplifier-processor ($3000; reviewed by Kalman Rubinson, Vol.30 No.7, July 2007 review)
Runners-up (in alphabetical order)
Bel Canto Design e.One Ref1000 and S300 power amplifiers (Ref1000, $3990/pair; S300, $1495; reviewed by Kalman Rubinson, Vol.29 No.11, November 2006 review)

Classé Audio CA-3200 3-channel power amplifier ($6000; reviewed by Kalman Rubinson, Vol.30 No.2, February 2007 review)




Mark Levinson No.433 3-channel power amplifier ($10,000; reviewed by Kalman Rubinson, Vol.30 No.5, May 2007 review)



NHT Controller preamplifier-processor ($2750; reviewed by Kalman Rubinson, Vol.30 No.1, January 2007 review)


NHT Power5 multichannel power amplifier ($2000; reviewed by Kalman Rubinson, Vol.30 No.1, January 2007 review)



In our multichannel category, the Cary Cinema 11 won the most first-place votes, while the Audio Research MP1 was nominated by the most reviewers. Both components, however, ended up with 11 overall votes and outpaced the runner-up Mark Levinson No.433 by a solid four strides.  First off, Kal was struck by the Cary's simplicity and its clear, distinctive operation—which, I hear, is especially important for those Upper East Side multichannel cats. "This is one digital box that an analog refugee could operate without a paradigm shift," he extolled. On top of that, the Cinema 11's finesse and clarity, and especially its lack of tizz or glare, left Kal "thoroughly infatuated" with its sound. But it was the all-analog Audio Research MP1 that really lit Kal's cigar. "Y'see?" Kal whooped. "There's still a need for analog multichannel!" The MP1 can accommodate three 5.1-channel inputs and four stereo inputs without having to use an external switch box, and it's that sort of freedom that can make an audiophile sing. "If you're thinking of assembling a single system to do both multichannel and two-channel duties, the Audio Research MP1 would be an ideal choice," said KR. Besides its ease of use and great versatility, the MP1 exhibited a rich, warm, coherent sound that transported Kal to "some unknown but very comfortable space." As far as we know, he hasn't come back yet.

WallyTractor universal alignment gauge ($149; reviewed by Michael Fremer, Vol.30 No.10, October 2007) Six different components earned first-place votes in this year's crowded competition, but the RealTraps MondoTrap led the pack with 17 votes overall. How excited can a guy get over a large panel of rigid fiberglass and some sound-transparent fabric? Let me tell you: pretty darn excited when it gets you closer to the music, which is exactly what the MondoTrap did for Jim Austin. It lifted a veil from his room, making music even more involving, while taming room modes and giving bass instruments a fuller, clearer, more palpable sound. If that sounds like some sort of magic, well, it is, but it's the sort of magic we audiophiles most appreciate—a magic deeply rooted in science and designed to serve the music. The MondoTraps' rigid fiberglass works to absorb sound energy and dissipate it as heat. Their large size is due to the fact that they work on the lower frequencies, where size really does matter. But it wasn't the Traps' mondo size that stood out in Jim's mind—it was the mondo effect they had on the sound. The WallyTractor universal alignment gauge came in a distant second place with nine total votes, while the lovely Cayin HA-1A headphone amp and purposeful Audyssey Sound Equalizer earned seven votes apiece. First-place votes were also awarded to Ray Samuel's bijou Emmeline The Hornet and Shunyata Research Hydra V-Ray AC power conditioner.

2007 Editor's Choice
Linn Records & Music Giants DRM-Free, High-Resolution Downloads A very different product category for my personal award of 2007! When I want the highest sound quality, I still reach for a physical disc: LP, CD, SACD, or DVD. But these days almost all of my more casual listening—when I'm writing, for example, or working on the Stereophile website—depends on a WiFi music player accessing my iTunes library. I began with the inexpensive Squeezebox from Slim Devices (now owned by Logitech), which was my 2006 "Editor's Choice," but following Wes Phillips' enthusiastic review of the Slim Devices Transporter last February, I bought one for my main system and relegated the Squeezebox to my bedroom. The advantage of the Transporter is that it can handle high-resolution music files recorded at 96kHz (though not at 88.2kHz). Until recently, however, few such files were available, other than those I'd recorded myself as part of my Stereophile Recordings activities. Now there are two sources of hi-rez music files: Super HD from www.musicgiants.com, and Studio Master from www.linnrecords.com (footnote 1). The high-quality downloads from these companies are entirely (Linn) or mostly (Music Giants) free of Digital Rights Management (DRM), and are available as FLAC or WMP (Linn) or Windows Media Player (Music Giants) files. The Linn downloads are all taken from their own catalog; Music Giants offers music from labels including ABKCO, EMI, Fantasy, OJC, and Telarc. A Mac guy, I have so far purchased and downloaded hi-rez files only from the Linn website—the 24-bit/96kHz FLAC files of the Mozart Requiem, with Sir Charles Mackerras conducting the Scottish Symphony Orchestra, took just under an hour via my home DSL connection. The results sound superb. And because the files are free from DRM, I can burn them to DVD-Audio using Minnetonka Software's inexpensive Discwelder Bronze program. Next, I need to set up a PC so I can download Music Giants files; I will report in a future issue how I get on. In the meantime, my hat is off to these two companies for leading audiophiles—and me!—into the brave new world of high-resolution downloads.—John Atkinson Footnote 1: Since this article appeared in print, Mark Waldrep, of surround specialist Aix Records, has launched iTrax, its own program of hi-rez downloads.

2007 Budget Product of the Year

Rega Apollo CD player


Deep down inside, the "Budget Product of the Year" category strikes a special chord with us all—perhaps because it reminds us of our hi-fi beginnings, perhaps because it has a way of rekindling our enthusiasm. For newcomers to the hi-fi hobby, our category of "Budget Product of the Year" is reserved for components that are absolutely, honest to god, without a doubt, affordable. Meanwhile, for more experienced audiophiles, it's refreshing and exciting to rediscover how much musical pleasure can be achieved for so very little money. Again, we had a large class of impressive candidates, with seven earning first-place votes—but it was the wonderful little PSB Alpha B1 that won our hearts. The B1 comes from a long line of overachieving loudspeakers; the original Alpha was a runner-up in our very first "Products of the Year" gala, in 1992. Back then it sold for a modest $199/pair. Fifteen years later, the B1's price has risen by a mere $80, making it actually less expensive in real terms than the original Alpha. Now, that's just crazy. More important, it's proof positive that true hi-fi sound can afforded by nearly any home. Though the Alpha B1 makes compromises in loudness capability and low-frequency extension, its glorious midrange and solid stereo imaging bring a wide range of musical performances—even large-scale orchestral works—into rich, vibrant focus. JA was very pleased, noting "superb measured performance" and marveling at the PSB's ability to stand proud in a system costing more than 200 times its price. He advised audiophiles to buy pairs for friends and family. I took his advice, sort of—I bought a pair for myself. The PSB Alpha B1 is exactly the kind of product this hobby needs—one that brings the High End down to earth, makes hi-fi attainable for just about everyone, and, beyond all, reminds us how much fun this hobby should be. The Alpha B1 has become my immediate recommendation for anyone seeking hi-fi advice. I'm proud to have a pair in my home. A simply sensational audio bargain. Thank you, Paul Barton.

年度最佳产品
2007 Product of the Year
Ayre Acoustics MX-R monoblock power amplifier

Runners-up(in alphabetical order)
Chord Choral Blu CD transport & Choral DAC64 D/A processor


Focal Electra 1037 Be loudspeaker

This year's "Product of the Year" category found an extraordinary nine products winning first-place votes, spanning nearly the entire spectrum of prices and component categories, from the JL Audio Fathom f113 powered subwoofer ($3400) to the Krell Evolution 600 monoblock power amplifier ($30,000/pair). One very special piece of kit, the Shindo Masseto preamplifier, actually received three-and-a-half votes. I'm not sure if that's even possible, but there you have it. It all goes to show that what makes a product "high-end" is its devotion to meeting the needs of audiophiles and music lovers, an undeniably diverse bunch. Indeed, there is hi-fi component out there to be had for each and every one of us. This year's prestigious winner might even be the amp that all audiophiles can love. Eight of our 15 reviewers placed their bets on the sexy, powerful Ayre MX-R monoblock. Perhaps what makes the Ayre most extraordinary is the way it obliterates the usual audiophile distinctions separating solid-state from tube designs. Said Wes, "it was fast as the dickens" while also being "unusually clean in its retrieval of detail." It was "free from added color," but was also "capable of delivering convincing stereo solidity." It appeals to the inner audio geek, it has that certain lust factor, and it makes beautiful music. It's our 2007 Product of the Year. Congratulations to Charlie Hansen and everyone at Ayre Acoustics, and thank you.
