Aavik U-280 Integrated Amplifier/DAC | REVIEW

January 29, 2023 Marc Phillips 0

In the interest of full disclosure, I reviewed the Aavik U-280 integrated amplifier and DAC ($18,000 USD) in a full Audio Group Denmark system that included the Aavik S-280 streamer ($12,000), the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC3 […]

Sound Kaos Vox 3a Loudspeaker | REVIEW

January 27, 2023 Grover Neville 0

The Sound Kaos Vox 3a is probably a speaker many of you have not heard of before. I certainly had not heard of it until Soo In of Enleum and Bakoon fame offered me a […]

Neat Acoustics Ministra Loudspeakers | REVIEW

January 22, 2023 Marc Phillips 3

When’s the last time you’ve heard a loudspeaker, such as the Neat Acoustics Ministra, with an isobaric woofer design? It’s been a while for me, too, but I recall two relatively small monitors from years […]

Pear Audio Blue Kid Howard Turntable | REVIEW

January 8, 2023 Marc Phillips 1

I needed a workhorse turntable. It took me over two years to decide on one, but I finally settled on the Pear Audio Blue Kid Howard turntable, complete with the Pear Audio Blue Cornet 2 […]

Allnic Audio H-6500 Phono Preamplifier | REVIEW

January 6, 2023 Marc Phillips 1

Last year it was Phono Preamplifier Central over here, with me being spoiled with one product after another while testing out the Brinkmann Taurus turntable. While I never quite picked a favorite—there were far too […]

2022 Product of the Year Award

December 18, 2022 Marc Phillips 3

Choosing the Part-Time Audiophile 2022 Product of the Year was far more difficult than in years past. Since I was determined not to repeat what I did in 2020 and 2021–choose a two-way loudspeaker that […]
