Speakers review
HEDD Type 05 MK2
A 5-inch active monitor that reaches useful 40 Hz in-room and pairs a handmade AMT tweeter with a DSP toolkit thorough enough to tune it to the room from the listening chair.

Headphones review
HEDD Audio HEDDphone TWO GT
A full-range AMT flagship whose midrange and treble need no correction at all, bought at the cost of demanding amplification, 550g on the head, and a soundstage that is the one clear limit.
Amplifiers review
FiiO EA13
A pure Class A push-pull EL34 amplifier whose tube character is real and correctly shaped — elevated second harmonic, odd-order harmonics left alone — bought at the cost of 260W at the wall, significant heat, and a headphone output that should not be relied on.
Amplifiers review
Aiyima A20 Mono
A true dual-mono TPA3255 power amplifier whose PFFB implementation is correct and demonstrable in-room, with 2.1 integration and a 12V trigger that are properly thought through rather than tokenistic.
Headphones review
Sennheiser HD 480 PRO
A comfortable closed-back studio headphone with a balanced reference presentation, low distortion, and few unnecessary complications.
Turntables review
Argon Audio TT-4 MK2
A well-equipped belt-drive turntable with an Ortofon 2M Blue, carbon tonearm, and a sensible upgrade path for serious first-system buyers.
Active speakers review
Argon Audio Fenris A55
A flexible active floorstander with useful inputs, good room-correction options, and a convincing balance of scale and practicality.
Headphones review
Lily Audio Genesis One
A genuinely different piezoelectric headphone with wide staging and strong bass, but it needs a powerful amplifier and likely treble adjustment.
