Hi-Fi News Magazine September 2021 Back Issue

"Like the fabled rolling stone that gathers no moss, Boulder’s massive amplifiers do a fairly convincing job of rolling over any lightweight competition en route to delivering a speaker-crushing sound. Our cover stars this month are exemplars of heavyweight, component-dense, audio engineering and are
about as far from the minimalist audiophile aesthetic as it’s possible to get. I hope you all enjoyed our cover design this month. I can’t vouch for the geology of the rocks but I can confirm that the stars are from the Colorado night sky. We like to go the extra mile at Hi-Fi News! In our definitive product reviews we look at the Boulder 1110/1160. Meet this month’s cover star – a doughty double-act of a pre/power whose sound ensures your money buys you more than macho looks. In news this month we have the DS Audio’s more affordable ‘optical’ pick-up, Dynaudio updates Emit speakers, Roksan unwraps Attessa separates, Klipsch’s Forte IV speaker, Auralic revamps Altair streamer/DAC. Plus much more!"
