When Ultra Fidelis sent out the notice that Richard Vandersteen would be visiting Milwaukee with the new flagship Vandersteen 7XTRM loudspeaker, my brain immediately began planning how I could be there. Making the two hour […]
When is a studio monitor not a studio monitor? When it’s a JBL 4349 Studio Monitor, of course! That label threw me too, but JBL released the Studio Monitor series for consumers, not pro audio. […]
The Beatles were playing tambourine in my living room. I could have got out of my chair, walked over between the left speaker and center image and grabbed it – it was right frigging there! […]
It took a trip to North Carolina for me to understand the Von Schweikert Audio Endeavor E-3 Mk. II speakers. That might be an odd way to evaluate a speaker that had been in my […]
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 […]
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 […]

At Part-Time Audiophile we collectively agree that cables matter. Even our stalwart holdout Dave McNair has seen the light recently–it might be dim, but it’s still light! Cable technology, however, is still heavily open to […]
I’m always open to listening to value proposition gear since it can be so much fun. When Underwood Hi-Fi (website) offered up their $1,499 LSA Discovery Warp One amplifier for review, I jumped at the […]
While looking for inspiration for my review of the Atohm GT-3 speakers from France, I watched the latest installment of The Grand Tour: Carnage A Trois. It got me thinking. Though the trio of self-proclaimed […]

I feel like I’m the designated Part-Time Audiophile power lifter lately. I received another freight shipment containing the McIntosh C49 preamplifier and MC312 power amplifier, weighing in at back squat workout weight of 234 lbs. […]
