Great Review in the UK Magazine EAR for The 14-4 Master turntable with 10.3in Master arm April 06 2025

Extract (for full review go to; THE EAR)

The first and perhaps deepest impression that the Wand 14-4 Master makes is of direct drive-like grip and dynamics riding alongside the openness, fluidity and finesse of well executed belt drive. It’s a best of both worlds proposition, presumably just as intended. This is swiftly joined by a growing appreciation of the kind of fractal-like, fine-detail resolution that can only be experienced with the establishment of a very low noise floor – especially impressive with mains detritus swerved by battery

I think more convincingly than any other turntable I’ve had in my listening room, the Wand 14-4 Master delivers a soundstage of stunning solidity richly furnished with ambient cues and a raw sense of life, pace and energy. Even spinning an over-familiar and physically well-worn LP such as Donald Fagen’s Nightfly, the 14-4 M immediately makes it sound fresher, cleaner, clearer and more tactile with razor-sharp timing,

The combo’s openness, low frequency extension, tunefulness, tenacity and the overall level of insight provided by the Wand 14-4 Master are never more evident than when tracking a largely forgotten, gloriously over-produced (by Phil Ramone) ‘80s gem of an LP from Michael Sembello, Bossa Nova Hotel. Godzilla, … the track is allowed to communicate clearly and lucidly without tangling itself into a turgid, high decibel, slightly alarming morass. Analogue at its very finest.
