Munich 2022

Return to Munich | High End 2022

May 18, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

I didn’t think there was going to be a “Return to Munich.” Back in 2019, I was able to attend the largest high-end audio show in the world, High End in Munich, and it was […]

Mingus, The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott’s | The Vinyl Anachronist

May 18, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

Resonance Records is on a roll right now, and this Mingus album just might be their finest release yet. The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott’s, recorded in August 1972, wasn’t quite lost–Mingus always intended to […]

Rotel A12MKII Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW

May 15, 2022 Editorial Staff 1

I am a self-professed integrated acolyte. An all-in-one box, such as the Rotel A12MKII, really sits on my astral plane for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which it is (virtually) guaranteed to […]

Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW

May 13, 2022 Editorial Staff 0

Since the start of the pandemic, I have been working from home most days for my full-time job. Each morning starts relatively the same. Walking into my home office, sitting down at my computer, and […]

May 12, 2022 Brian Hunter 0

One of the biggest PR news items coming out of AXPONA 2022 was perhaps the announcement of Andrew Jones joining the ranks of MoFi Electronics. Andrew has a long career developing speakers in HiFi, designing […]

Darwin Cable Company “The Enlightenment” | REVIEW

May 8, 2022 John Richardson 0

Sometimes an audio company gets its name just right, whether intended or not. “Darwin,” in the case of the Darwin Cable Company, was adapted from the name of a much-loved dog. When I think of […]

Julian Margules at AXPONA | AXPONA 2022

May 7, 2022 Graig Neville 0

Margules has a history going back to 1927. In Mexico, the Margules family has been instrumental in developing and expanding radio throughout the country. I had a chance to speak with the fourth- generation engineer […]

Best of AXPONA 2022 | AXPONA 2022

May 7, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

It’s been a while since I’ve had to assemble a “Best of Show” list at the end of a high-end audio show, and I was starting to have reservations about the process long before I […]

Wynn Audio, Vimberg and Karan | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

This report on the Wynn Audio room at AXPONA 2022 might seem a little photo-heavy. There’s a reason for this–we had five PTA staff members at AXPONA and every single one of them just HAD […]

AXPONA 2022

New Brands at AXPONA | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Graig Neville 0

I decided to focus on the new brands exhibiting at AXPONA 2022, or at least some of the companies that had returned with completely new or redesigned product line-ups. Of those, three loudspeaker manufacturers caught […]

Refined Audio, Pass Labs | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Graig Neville 0

When I entered the Refined Audio room at AXPONA 2022, I was greeted by Cube Audio’s Nenuphar BASiS, a distinctive looking black speaker with a yellow driver ($26,900/pair). The sound of this intriguing system had […]

Astonishing Avantgarde and dCS | AXPONA 2022

May 6, 2022 Scot Hull 0

There is something undeniable about Avantgarde Acoustics horn loudspeakers. Something I find irresistible. They can be shoehorned into the most improbable spaces, and yet, I don’t care. I don’t see “cramped.” I don’t see “uncomfortable.” […]

Quintessence Audio | AXPONA 2022

May 5, 2022 Graig Neville 0

At the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center, the Connection, Knowledge, Perfection, and Imagination rooms are all clustered under the escalator leading up to the main lobby. Quintessence Audio, a high-end audio dealer in the […]

Rockport and Stillpoints | AXPONA 2022

May 5, 2022 Graig Neville 1

The Rockport Technologies and Stillpoints room was rocking cool gear and playing Hans Zimmer’s haunting original soundtrack for Dune. [See, I wasn’t the only one at the show making people play Zimmer–Ed.] This was EPIC […]

Fidelis and Lab12 and a Heretic | AXPONA 2022

May 4, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

A room full of Lab12 gear from Greece? Hey, I got that at home already. I didn’t travel all the way to Chicago to replicate my home system, dangit. I’m currently reviewing the Lab12 Integre4 […]

LTA and DeVore Fidelity and LampizatOr | AXPONA 2022

May 4, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

Usually when I visit the Linear Tube Audio room at a high-end audio show, their amplifiers are matched with Spatial Audio loudspeakers, which are a synergistic match. Or they’re paired with Fern & Roby speakers, […]

Acoustique Quality, Amped, Music Hall | AXPONA 2022

May 3, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

I’ve been reporting on the Acoustique Quality, Amped and Music Hall partnership over the last few years, especially since I was able to meet everyone involved in Munich in 2019. (Note to self–quit referring to […]

Gunny of Sonner Audio | AXPONA 2022

May 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

We’ve talked about Gunny of Sonner Audio before. Aside from making wonderful loudspeakers, Gunny Surya is also a music lover above all else. Whenever I see him, I’m treated to an in-depth program of music, […]

Luxman and Magico | AXPONA 2022

May 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

In the Luxman and Magico room at AXPONA 2022, I drooled a lot. Luxman’s story over the last few years has been a treat for audiophiles all over the world–a legendary Japanese hi-fi marque re-invents […]
