BLOG #87. StereoPravda Program with Misha Kucherenko #4
This Thursday, September the 10th, at 7 pm Moscow time, AVREPORTrussia YouTube channel will be broadcasting a bi-weekly program by Misha Kucherenko called “StereoPravda”.
The program #4 will feature a special guest – Roman Kuznetzov of Reference Audio Analyzer.
In this live broadcast, the two positions of sound quality evaluation – ‘objective” and “subjective” - will be juxtaposed to each other to contemplate on why the objective measurements, which should justify the subjective auditioning, often fail to do so.
It will be in Russian, but questions in English are welcomed and will be answered in English.

BLOG #85. A Few Details About Our New StereoPravda SPearphone “SB-6” Earphones
It took us more than five years to figure out how to package 90+% of our flagship “SB-7”’s sonic assault, combined with the highest possible musical resolution and the most subtle "microdynamics", into a much more “diminutive” “ear-print” of our new model called “SB-6” (pictured left from its “big brother”).

To quote,
“…The [“SB-3.5”’s] sound quality is unprecedented, offering a large airy soundstage and an “out-of-your-head” experience with a very musical midrange. It is the perfect earphone for those who truly love the open soundstage of high-end open-backed dynamic headphones but want or need the isolation of an IEM. “

"... from the perspective of current High End Audio’s potential “new blood” representatives – the bystanders of the audiophile scene, which are the only ones that can save it from its coming collapse - the High End Audio Utopia is inevitably becoming a Dystopia.
And not because the former’s various fractions’ potential goals and purposes are not fully reachable, actually, they are.
It will become a Dystopia only for a single reason: because these goals are still not tightly focused, and, as such, are not seen at all".

To quote,
“… Listening to the SB IEMS is always an experience. The SPearphones are a one of a kind creation by a unique designer, that’s the least one can say…
… The StereoPravda SB-3.5 will never win a beauty contest or get an award for comfort but the SB-3.5 isn’t about that. Misha’s “no pain, no gain” philosophy is what it is but if you can handle that you can be sure to get a very nice and unique high-end sounding IEM with a sound signature you’ve never heard before. A fine example of a technical masterpiece. The truth and nothing but the truth”.
