Thursday, 21 April 2022 | Richard I have found the Puritan 156 to be a great success. I am running a Lumin streamer to a pair of monobloc valve amps and active stereo subs. The Puritan removed all hums and buzzes from the power amps and I perceive a noticeable 'tightening' of the bass - and perhaps a better soundstage too. And it is great to be able to run the entire system through one mains socket and be confident enough to leave it permanently switched on. Highly recommended.
Tuesday, 5 April 2022 | William I purchased these speakers on a sale or return basis, as they weren’t available for dealer audition. I was particularly interested in both the vocal and acoustic instrument performance - I replacing my outgoing B&W 705 s2 speakers. Initially I was unconvinced, as seemed initially a little reticent at first, but as the days wore on they opened up and not only gave the characteristics I was looking for, but also a bigger soundstage than the B&W’s. They perform well with LP, CD & Streaming sources and work superbly with my Naim Nova (& Gold Note P10 in particular). The presentation gives real depth and placement of instruments, so that the overall performance is very satisfying. Thumbs up to Igloo for securing them and delivering so quickly..Excellent Customer Service.
Friday, 1 April 2022 | Graham Hifiman HE1000 SE almost as good as my Susvara ( also supplied by Igloo ) and much easier to drive . Great product , great service as always . Both highly recommended
Tuesday, 11 January 2022 | Gareth These speakers produce a highly detailed, elegant sound with surprising depth given how tiny they are. I adjusted tone settings on my Denon M38 (bass enhancement) and they performed much better. Expensive but if you want high quality detailed sound and you have limited space for speakers then these are outstanding.
Monday, 10 January 2022 | Colin A turntable upgrade has been long overdue and after speaking with Peter and taking into account my current system he recommended the Clearaudio Concept MC. The record player is a thing of beauty and so easy to set up. The build smacks of quality engineering so you know it is going to sound great. Within a few moments we were playing vinyl and the sound was amazing. The vocals came alive, with warmth and depth, with instruments clearly defined. Record after record was played and the enjoyment just got better and better. I cannot recommend this turntable highly enough.
Thursday, 6 January 2022 | Kevin The Goldnote PH-10 arrived this morning is now up an running and I'm absolutely delighted with it. Despite the fact it will need to run in I have just played the Eagles "Hotel California" from the When Hell Freezes Over album. I have always considered this to be an good pressing but wow it has never sounded like this.
Sunday, 12 December 2021 | Christopher This is a truly remarkable product in many ways. The build quality and finish are excellent; the very precise control it allows over your power amp without any hint of distortion and the pure transparency of the sound it produces are a joy to behold! Highly recommend an audition of this Preamp.....Superb!
Monday, 8 November 2021 | Martin There is a lot I could say about the ADOT kit, but for me the most important thing is that it provides a comprehensive, safe and reliable entrée into into optical connection of audio equipment. There's a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide showing you how all the components connect. Most importantly, this is backed up by excellent support. I did need to talk to the support guy and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. And that’s the value here. Yes, you can buy the individual components more cheaply from electronics suppliers (and Amazon for that matter), but if you are new to this stuff you wouldn’t have the ‘how to’ guide or the specialised audio/HiFi support.
Monday, 27 September 2021 | Lynn Iglooaudio supplied these headphobes in good time woth supeeb communications when DPD nearly dropped the ball by water damging the package...Igloo kept us well informed with the reassurance of assistance shpuld the product be defective.....Highly recommended!!
Friday, 6 August 2021 | Mike The Lindemann Limetree Bridge provides a high sound quality input to a good DAC for streaming from a NAS or on-line services. Matched with Graham Slee equipment (Majestic and Proprius) it sounds superb, and even matches in appearance.
Sunday, 1 August 2021 | Tony excellent quality - robust
Sunday, 1 August 2021 | Tony excellent sounding product - perfect for my purposes!
Wednesday, 28 July 2021 | John I ordered the CLEARAUDIO CONCEPT MC TURNTABLE PACKAGE & Cover from Igoo. Peter engaged me straightaway and discussed my requirements and explained as it was Made to Order there could be up to an 8 week wait. I was happy with this and Peter kept me updated through the process. The Items were delivered and I have to say it was well worth the wait. The Clearaudio is a brilliant piece of kit. The build quality is fabulous and it comes fully configured and is so easy to set up and get going. Literally just plug & play. I cannot recommend this product and Igloo highly enough.
Friday, 14 May 2021 | Gordon The BBC style monitor speaker seemed to fit my needs - retro style, emphasis on clarity but with just enough bottom end. After reading several online reviews I decided to buy without auditioning, safe in the knowledge that Peter at Igloo Audio would let me return if I was unhappy. Well the speakers are everything and more than I could have wished for. More lower frequencies than I expected, super clean mids. Solid and beautifully made in the UK. Very impressed not only with the speakers but also with the service and advice from Peter at Igloo. Many thanks.
Tuesday, 4 May 2021 | Steven This is a well built and substantial unit . Initial impressions are an overall improvement to clarity, timing and a sense of ease to the sound that makes listening fun. Improvement to percussive sounds, particularly drums, cymbols and piano are marked.
Saturday, 1 May 2021 | Barry My first experience with these cables was with my Puritan mains purifier and I was impressed with the build and the cable didn’t seem to restrict the performance of the other cables plugged into the Puritan mains purifier. The rest of my system uses Gutwire mains cables, which have proven a good match in general, but I was struggling to get a balanced sound from my Gold Note DS-10 with PS-10 and I’ve found digital components to be highly affected by physical isolation and mains, so I decided to try this Puritan cable. After a few hours burn-in the Gold Note is noticeably more balanced with a generally more realistic presentation. I compared Dave Brubeck’s Time Out to my reference 45rpm vinyl edition and the Gold Note was suddenly much closer to the ideal tonal balance and more able to hint at the nuances in every instrument that the vinyl front-end so readily serves up. A great value solution to a distracting problem. Mains cables are very component and system specific so it may or may not work for you, but if you have a similar problem, it’s a relatively low cost way to try and treat it.
Saturday, 1 May 2021 | Simon Superb service from Igloo as usual.
Sunday, 11 April 2021 | Peter Very happy with the build and sound quality of the matrix audio mini-I 3 pro. Very flexible unit regarding sources. Also happy with the service and order progress updates I received from Igloo audio. Highly recommended
Saturday, 3 April 2021 | Simon These are tiny wonders. To be honest, I wasn't expecting these to be as good as they are. I don't really have any criticisms. If you take into account the fact the boxes are small, you can't really expect cavernous bass, but there's never a sense the bass is lacking, unlike other small speakers I've used. They're really punchy and exciting, but also fine at low volume. I bet in years to come we'll look back on this model as a masterpiece.
Monday, 22 March 2021 | Keith Purchased this after a recommendation from my local retailer for doing Dirac on my home cinema
Sunday, 14 March 2021 | Barry I’d dabbled with mains conditioners about twenty years ago and found they all compressed dynamics, turning music into a clean but lifeless lump.
Friday, 12 February 2021 | Barry The Evo PSU has been deployed with my DS-10 since I bought the latter, so I don’t have a comparison with a base DS-10, but I can say that the PSU ensures the DS-10 is ghostly quiet and gives plenty of room around instruments. It doesn’t turn the DS-10 into a dynamics monster though.
Friday, 12 February 2021 | Barry This is my first experience of streaming and it’s proving a great facility to try new albums and artists and to fill gaps in my collection. I tried a NAD C658 prior to buying the DS-10 and found it very uneven-handed, sounding good on hi-res but flat on 16/44. The DS-10 with Evo PSU is much more consistent. It produces an open and friendly sound with excellent imaging. The sound lacks the dynamics and grandeur of that from my much more expensive vinyl front-end, but that’s the case with every digital device I’ve used. Overall, for casual listening and exploring new material, it’s very good value, well made and easy to use. One issue I’ve had is that I have limited bandwidth and the DS-10 doesn’t cache the stream if you pause it so I sometimes have problems playing 24/192 streams, which is frustrating.
Wednesday, 27 January 2021 | Roland SCM19 loudspeakers,very interesting
Tuesday, 22 December 2020 | John A pleasure to do business with Igloo. Appreciated that Peter seems happy to offer advice without any hard selling. Made it easy to buy a pair of speakers that are clearly very well made and sound really good. So I am a happy customer and happy to recommend Peter and ATC.
Thursday, 10 December 2020 | Simon Fantastic speakers. Big sound for such a compact speaker. Need a decent amp unquestionably. Quite prevalent in the 150 - 350 Hz area I would say. Satin black finish is splendid. Great service from Peter at Igloo.
Sunday, 6 December 2020 | Peter Excellent product and the service from Igloo Audio was excellent.Very easy to recommend this 5 star company
Thursday, 26 November 2020 | Gary I have made previous purchases with Peter at Igloo Audio and always received a first class service snd Would recommend his shop without hesitation.
Friday, 30 October 2020 | Jeremy My search for amplification enough to drive some ATC SCM40s led me to call Peter at Igloo Audio. Really glad I did.
Friday, 30 October 2020 | Jeremy My search for amplification enough to drive some ATC SCM40s led me to call Peter at Igloo Audio. Really glad I did.
Thursday, 1 October 2020 | Mr I currently own a Linn Sondek turntable with an Akito arm and AT440MLb cartridge, with a pair of Epos K3 loudspeakers.
Sunday, 23 August 2020 | Charles Careful speaker matching is very necessary. I will recommend Bookshelf speakers over Floorstands.
Saturday, 22 August 2020 | Danny I bought these headphones to see if cheaper planar types were any good. In short, they are. detail retrieval is excellent, the imaging is not too narrow and there is a real sense of spaciousness about the sound. However, for me as a glasses wearer the comfort is not quite there. The pressure from the headband is quite high and after a while can become uncomfortable. I suspect this would not be so much of an issue for someone not wearing glasses.
Friday, 14 August 2020 | John The Lindemann Limetree Bridge, like the other items in the series, will not be winning any beauty contests and may look a little out-of-place nestling beside traditional amplifiers. That is the worst thing I have to say.
Friday, 7 August 2020 | Brian brilliant sound from attractive speakers.
Sunday, 28 June 2020 | David I upgraded from a Bluesound Node 2i and after reading good reviews I took a leap of faith on the Aries G1. It's expensive, granted but I didn't want to spend Innous kind of money and have to pay for Roon and so this fitted the bill.
Friday, 26 June 2020 | Anthony I have had these for a couple of weeks now, and I just can't stop listening to them, the mid range and treble are supurb and the bass is really tight, a perfect match for my Hegel amp.
Wednesday, 10 June 2020 | Richard I placed three Oreas underneath my preamp/processor and noticed an immediate improvement to the sound. More extension and definition to the bass, more detail to the mid-range and treble, and improved prescence to the reproduction of whatever was playing.
Sunday, 7 June 2020 | Nigel Having owned a large number of amplifiers over the years, I can confidently say that this is the best integrated amp. I’ve heard- great timing, great detail and very musical. It’s also incredibly dynamic which is very apparent when playing some classical symphonic discs. Service and support from Igloo Audio was exemplary as indeed was customer support from Exposure
Sunday, 7 June 2020 | David Needing to replace my 40 year old 40w Crimson Elektrik 520 power amplifier being fed from my Exposure 17 pre amp was always going to be a hard ask. Peter gave sound guidance and the reasoning behind that thought process to aid my decision. So much was discussed over the telephone due to covid 19. Room size listening distance and partnering equipment all played a part in keeping the standard I was used to and improving on it. I am absolutely delighted with the result. Soundstage and control has improved immeasurably and the overall effect is perfect. With the Exposure 3010S2 power amp I now have an infinitely more pleasurable listening experience. Thank you Peter, I shall when circumstances allow be arranging a visit to further explore how I may better my mains electric feed.
Saturday, 16 May 2020 | George As a long time user of the mighty P3ESR speakers, which offer so much of the Harbeth fabled midrange, I was hesitant about needing to spend anymore for another pair of speakers.
Tuesday, 12 May 2020 | David The 2GO produces superb results with Hugo2. The Chord software, for the 2Go, is limited but alternative apps are available.
Saturday, 9 May 2020 | David Being at the wrong end of the wrong 60’s, sadly, the weakest link in my music system is me. In deference to the neighbours it has become necessary to invest in headphones to whack the volume up a notch. I am very happily amazed at the clarity and the detail that emerge from the cans; detail that simply was not there whenever the neighbours were out and the speakers were rocking the foundations!
Monday, 30 March 2020 | Aidan 1. It did the job - great product for those like me who have an audio pc and need to connect it to sp dif input. My Stello was a great product and the Matrix was more than an adequate replacement.
Saturday, 21 March 2020 | Kevin Not a tweak. No question major upgrade to system
Sunday, 9 February 2020 | Gerald In my humble opinion and undoubtedly the best upgrade to what already was a great sound
Tuesday, 7 January 2020 | Melvyn Hi I listen to a lot electric jazz certain labels like ECM ACT VERVE BLUE NOTE sound stunning.Best upgrade so far.M.Alexander
Monday, 6 January 2020 | David What can i say about these speakers that has not already been written. Only my journey i've been through Dynaudio, Buchardt and PMC bookshelf speakers and i've finally settled on these.
Monday, 25 November 2019 | Peter A lovely cable , very tunefull, works well with my Naim CDX5 to Naim DAC.
Sunday, 29 September 2019 | Robert I connected the S Booster to my Arcam r Head amplifier and the sound improved in every way.
Sunday, 29 September 2019 | Paul Powered by Sbooster, paired with Mac Mini via USB / Roon And Technics SL 1500C turntable. Marantz PM8006 amplifier and KEF R300 speakers
Tuesday, 17 September 2019 | Anthony Purchased this to replace my old NAS device, transferred all of the music over to the LUMIN form my existing Drive no issues. Plugged the drive into my network it self configured, scanned the music to build the library once complete was able to stream via my Auralic with no issues, the real plus point for me was how quiet it is.
Saturday, 10 August 2019 | David This high quality linear power supply is quite large. But is designed to a optimal standard. With many state of the art components. Will enhance any audio equipment needing a 5volt supply
Tuesday, 23 July 2019 | John The Sbooster brought about immediate and obvious sonic improvements over that of the stock SMPSU supplied with my Chord Hugo TT2. Top marks to Iglooaudio for their pre sales support and communication.
Friday, 5 July 2019 | Malcolm I bought this to replace an aging Exposure XXV. The improvement in clarity for all instruments is quite remarkable. The DAC card is also very worthwhile – it’s given a new lease of life to my old CD player.
Thursday, 16 May 2019 | Gregory Highly musical DAC and excellent pre-amp,no such thing as bargain but this comes pretty close. Hasn’t really been switched off since I received it.
Tuesday, 7 May 2019 | John Excellent sounding preamp, good prompt service from igloo
Saturday, 13 April 2019 | John My best purchase so far in my audio career. For the small room I have they produce more information and enjoyment than all of the many speakers that have gone before them!
Saturday, 23 March 2019 | Mitch First rate service and first rate product
Monday, 11 March 2019 | Anthony Wow, these speakers have given me a whole new listening experience. This was further enhanced once my speaker stands arrived. Well worth a listen.
Monday, 25 February 2019 | David I am absolutely delighted with this player as it sits in the " hard to find " category . I have high quality systembasvd around Primare & PMC but wanted a half size high performance CD Drive to replace a standby Marantz .FM /DAB built in would be a plus & I was not unduly concerned to have streaming. This player is the only high spec player that fitted the bill. I linked the drive to my P60 via silver digital co-ax & was amazed at the huge uplift in performance.
Wednesday, 28 November 2018 | Jonathan Have had this for just under a month and am very impressed. It is used with a sony dvd player and focal clear headphones with the included balanced cable. I have found this to be a very good pairing with the clears with excellent transient speed and detail, quite forgiving with lower quality source for example youtube from ipad and great for movies. Plenty of power in reserve if you have high impedence headphones, had no problem with my hd600s. Would definitly recommend.
Tuesday, 30 October 2018 | SJ There is no better power amp. Really. I have a pair of these driving the big Graham Audio LS5/8 speakers, and the combination is simply wonderful.
Monday, 1 October 2018 | Peter First rate service and advice. Peter’s caring approach without bias was influential in me deciding to purchase my cables through him. Could not expect any better. Cables arrived within two days. The PS Audio AC5 cables made a significant difference to the sound quality and imagery of my system. They out performed cables costing significantly more including one costing 8 times as much. Great product and great service.
Sunday, 30 September 2018 | T EXCELLENT PRODUCT WHEN PAIRED WITH THE STELLAR S300 STEREO AMP.
Sunday, 30 September 2018 | T EXCELLENT PRODUCT WHEN PAIRED WITH THE STELLAR DAC.
Sunday, 30 September 2018 | T PROMPT FAST DELIVERY AS ALWAYS FROM IGLOO AUDIO.
Tuesday, 11 September 2018 | James Excellent amplifier. Had an Arcam A32 which was past its sell by date. The exposure sounds natural and smooth with no loss of dynamics with power to spare driving Quad Z1s.
Tuesday, 28 August 2018 | Peter My initial listening of the Sundara showed the potenial of these headphones, after the 150 hr running in thanks to Radio 2 for 14 hrs per day. How things have improved, a firm base and clear treble. Listening to Chris Rea on the Road to Hell, as I am writing this. Brilliant.
Thursday, 23 August 2018 | SJ These are the best LS3/5-class speakers I've heard (and I've owned the Sterling and the Falcon versions of the LS3/5A).
Monday, 23 July 2018 | William At this equipment's price point the law of diminishing returns certainly begins to apply but, provided the rest of the your system is up to it, this DAC and Player will give impressive results with both SACD and Red Book CD's.
Monday, 21 May 2018 | Timothy Excellent sound and great advice
Saturday, 5 May 2018 | Neil Excellent bit of kit. Had a problem initially setting it up but a reminder from Igloo Audio that it created it's own network helped sort it. Ordered the S-Booster power supply with it and sound is great through a Cyrus 2 amp and Epos ES11 speakers. Better still is the fact that the Auralic control app allows me to control the volume despite the amp not having remote control. Internet radio is rock solid on our 2.4GHz wifi network and CDs are now on the internal SSD. Highly recommended. BTW I was somewhat surprised by the size of the S-Booster - it's about twice as high and deep as the streamer.
Wednesday, 21 March 2018 | Stephen Very versatile & powerful product that can really help get the most out of your setup.
Saturday, 3 March 2018 | Kevin I upgraded to the Hugo 2 from Mojo. I debated for a long time whether I would get enough improvement in sound to warrant the cost. I shouldn't have been concerned, the Mojo is very good but the Hugo surpasses it in every way. If you can afford it, buy the Hugo 2. It looks great, sounds extremely good, is well built and has all the inputs and outputs you’ll ever need.
Tuesday, 20 February 2018 | Darren Igloo kept me informed of new stock and arrival without me having to keep calling, great company will do business with them again. Great unit.
Sunday, 21 January 2018 | Andrew Very good service and a very good product.
Sunday, 31 December 2017 | Pedro Considering their size, these speakers have an outstanding sound.
Sunday, 24 December 2017 | Steve Good friendly service, honest advice and kept me up to date, slightly let down by there supplier and delivery times.
Friday, 1 December 2017 | Marco great communication, fair price from the seller.
Wednesday, 29 November 2017 | David From the moment it was slotted into my system straight out of the box without burn-in, it was clear that this player is excellent. Tonally very articulate and transparent, it maintains a grip on bass frequencies and has a delicate airy midband when played through my Harbeth HLP3ES ‘speakers.
Wednesday, 22 November 2017 | Ian Very happy with the sound quality and the power. No jargon, just excellent.
Sunday, 29 October 2017 | Paul Great service from Peter who actually tried to steer me towards cheaper option of P5. PS Audio product built to a high standard, user friendly and better bet than mains cables
Friday, 20 October 2017 | Lorenzo great little product, easy to install and calibrate. great service. thank you.
Friday, 20 October 2017 | Chris Great device, great service from you guys!!
Monday, 16 October 2017 | Timothy Great amp with small footprint and big sound. Simple and well designed for records, TV, Sonos and bluetooth through speakers or headphones. Impressive piece of kit.
Saturday, 14 October 2017 | Lionel Hello, These hi-fi speakers work perfectly with every music types.I use them with a naim xs2 and everything goes well .
Monday, 9 October 2017 | Toby There has been quite a lot of anticipation and then hype surrounding these headphones from the first moment they were mentioned. When I ordered these I thought to myself that they were going to be good but there was no way they could be quite that good. To put is simply, they are. There is a lot that has been said about them, it is worth reading around for much better descriptions than I could give.
Saturday, 16 September 2017 | John Part of a DAC Amp and headphone purchase... Again, service was excellent (thanks to Peter)... System is great. It plays all my AIFF and Hi-Res files with no issues, through the balanced XLR output to my Mr Speakers headphones. A good first purchase of high-end audio equipment.
Saturday, 16 September 2017 | John Service was excellent (thanks Peter)... Headphone presentation, sound, build quality, supplied travel case are great... For a first major purchase of audiophile headphones, I am not disappointed.
Friday, 15 September 2017 | Peter Purchased for use with Innuos Zenith Server. Worked seamlessly, highly recommended
Wednesday, 13 September 2017 | Stuart Really enjoying the DAC3. Sounds better with Benchmark XLR->Phono leads allowing passive attenuation of outputs. Sound seems to have improved (more musical) over first few weeks, maybe due to running in. Great service from Igloo.
Monday, 4 September 2017 | Iain This microphone is very well made, and produced excellent results when used for room calibrating an Arcam AVR via Dirac software. Very pleased.
Monday, 21 August 2017 | Alan The increased sound stage, and overall clarity is impressive. The involvement in music is I think is outstanding.
Thursday, 10 August 2017 | Alan I wasn't aware of Igloo Audio previously but contacted them as I wanted to pair the new PS Audio M700 monos with a Hegel P20 pre and Igloo stock both. What can I say. The M700s and P20 elevated my system to new sonic heights. Am listening now and the precision and control is breath taking! On top of that Peter & Karen at Igloo were a pleasure to deal with at every point and clearly very knowledgeable. Highly recommended products and service! Alan
Wednesday, 9 August 2017 | Dave I have been a long tern user of Tom Evans Vibe + Pulse and decided to upgrade my MircoGrove + to the 20th Anniversary Groove.
Tuesday, 8 August 2017 | Peter Initially I was going to order speakers from a local London dealer but they quoted 6 weeks delivery so I called Igloo to see if they could get them sooner. Igloo called Dali and assured me they could get them in a week and sure enough, they arrived on-time. Great speakers and good service from Igloo. Many thanks
Tuesday, 1 August 2017 | Sergio Defining this unit just as a headphone amplifier and DAC is not giving justice to it. The audio quality is very good, making this unit to be able to stand as a preamp in a decent hifi chain.
Friday, 21 July 2017 | Colin Well where to start? Firstly the customer service I received from Peter Ruler was quite honestly the best I've ever had from any purchase audio or otherwise. He was extremely knowledgeable and understanding towards my search for a quality stand mounted speaker. We had a nice long chat on the phone and gave some great tips towards improvements on my system. The communication through the process from placing the order to collecting was second the none. I cannot recommend Igloo Audio highly enough..5 stars doesn't seem enough.
Friday, 30 June 2017 | Timothy Works a treat with REW and the calibration file from UMIK-1's website. |
