Loudspeakers

GoldenEar BRX Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 26, 2022 Marc Phillips 6

The GoldenEar BRX loudspeakers, much to my chagrin, are chameleonic. That made me wonder whether or not transducers should be chameleonic. And then I wondered if chameleonic was a real word, so I looked it […]

Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 24, 2022 Marc Phillips 2

If you haven’t noticed, I write two types of equipment reviews. The first type involves some piece of gear from a manufacturer I know well. I have history. I can spin a yarn about this […]

Announcements

Jill Richards & Kevin Volans, Etudes | The Vinyl Anachronist

June 23, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

I tend to bolt up straight whenever I hear the name Kevin Volans. During my journeyman audiophile days back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, Kevin Volans’ White Man Sleeps suite for string quartet […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Gustaf Ljunggren, Floreana | The Vinyl Anachronist

June 20, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

Thanks to my busy late-spring schedule, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a music review for VA. That means I’ve been sitting on a lot of fantastic new releases, keeping them to myself, […]

Lab12 Integre4 Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW

June 17, 2022 Marc Phillips 4

There’s an important foreword to my love story with the Lab12 Integre4 integrated amplifier. A few years ago, shortly after I joined the PTA team and started work on my first issue of The Occasional […]

CEC DA5 DAC and TL-5 Transport | REVIEW

June 11, 2022 Marc Phillips 2

The CEC DA5 DAC and matching TL-5 transport represent my new favorite thing in the world of high-end audio—a product that makes you rethink how you want to proceed in this hobby. I first encountered […]

TIDAL for Bugatti | High End 2022

June 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

What is TIDAL for Bugatti? That was the big question for us at Part-Time Audiophile when we first heard that TIDAL Audio of Germany would be coming out with a new line, TIDAL for Bugatti, […]

Hi-Fi in the Time of Covid | High End 2022

June 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 7

I wasn’t supposed to go to High End 2022 in Munich this year. Originally, I had plans to go. Many of us did. After going to High End 2019, I said to myself “Wow, I’m […]

Munich 2022

Best Sound in Munich | High End 2022

June 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

I’ll admit it. High End 2022 was tough for me. I was all alone, trying to cover the biggest high-end audio show in the world right now, and the little things kept getting in the […]

Munich 2022

Friends in Munich | High End 2022

June 1, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

If it was up to me, a dyed-in-the-wool introvert, I’d cover high-end audio shows differently than I do. I’d walk out of my sleeping room at the hotel venue a few minutes before the show […]

Exhibit Room Redux | High End 2022

May 31, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

One of the hazards of attending too many high-end audio shows is what I call Exhibit Room Redux. That’s when an audio journalist walks into a room and sees the same exact system that was […]

Munich 2022

The Big Living Voice Room | High End 2022

May 30, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

When I attended High End in Munich in 2019, the big Living Voice room really stood out for me. First of all, it was like a forest in there, with plants everywhere and a huge […]

Munich 2022

Western Electric 91E | High End 2022

May 30, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

I know I’ve been stuck in my house for over two years, and that the outside world evolves beyond my notice, but Western Electric is back? And they’re making gear instead of just 300B tubes? […]

Munich 2022

The Big Technics Room | High End 2022

May 30, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

One of my great pleasures in this hobby, at least over the last few years, is totally eating crow over my old comments about Technics and direct-drive turntables. Yes, I’ve come around to loving Technics […]

Munich 2022

Riviera Audio Labs and AudioNec | High End 2022

May 29, 2022 Marc Phillips 8

While I was at High End 2022 in Munich, I had a brief discussion with Scot Hull about dedicating a single show report to brands that are not available in the US, or available but […]

Munich 2022

DeVore Fidelity O/Baby | High End 2022

May 29, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

From the moment I heard the news that John DeVore, of DeVore Fidelity, was going to expand his Orangutan line on the entry-level side of things, I knew I needed a listen ASAP. I’ve been […]

Munich 2022

Ictra Design | High End 2022

May 29, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

I normally don’t cover equipment racks at high-end audio shows, even though the MOC convention floor at High End 2022 in Munich was full of them. (Most of them were beautiful and intriguing and probably […]

Munich 2022

HiFi Rose | High End 2022

May 28, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

They came to Munich from all over the world just to turn a knob. That’s what I thought as I tried to get close enough to the new RA180 integrated amplifier from HiFi Rose for […]

Munich 2022

Moon Voice 22 Monitors | High End 2022

May 28, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

Simaudio spent a lot of time and energy promoting the debut of their first loudspeakers, the Moon Voice 22 monitors. Moon by Simaudio makes excellent gear, and I’ve reviewed their products favorably over the years. […]

Munich 2022

The Big Nagra Room | High End 2022

May 28, 2022 Marc Phillips 4

I’ve already mentioned the sound of the big Avantgarde Acoustics room at High End 2022 in Munich, which might have been hampered by the enormous crowds at the show. The big Nagra room, however, might […]
