Darwin Cable Company “The Enlightenment” | REVIEW

May 8, 2022 John Richardson Comments Off on Darwin Cable Company “The Enlightenment” | REVIEW

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 […]

Siltech Classic Legend 880 Cables | REVIEW

April 15, 2022 Dave McNair 3

Journey To Ixtland When I first started writing for Part-Time Audiophile, Scot Hull and Marc Phillips asked me if I wanted to do some cable reviews. I replied something like, “I’m not a believer. Since […]

Purist Audio Design Poseidon Speaker Cables | REVIEW

April 8, 2022 Graig Neville 2

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 […]

Atlas Cables Grun Coherent Earthing System | REVIEW

June 27, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

The Grun Earthing System from Atlas Cables is the third product I’ve reviewed in the last year that addresses grounding in your high-end audio system. The first two products, of course, were the Nordost QKORE […]

AudioQuest GroundGoody Jupiter and Saturn Tonearm and Ground Wire | REVIEW

May 28, 2021 Marc Phillips 3

I thought that the AudioQuest GroundGoody ground wire was going to be, by far, the simplest of these new earthing products I’ve set out to review. After spending time with the Nordost QKORE grounding system, […]

AudioQuest Assortment with Graig Neville | REVIEW

April 23, 2021 Graig Neville 1

[Editor’s note–I’d like to welcome to Graig Neville to the tricky, sometimes treacherous but ultimately necessary world of cable reviewing. As Graig fine-tuned his system into a reviewer’s reference, he chose an AudioQuest assortment to […]

Triode Wire Labs Full Loom | REVIEW

March 26, 2021 Grover Neville Comments Off on Triode Wire Labs Full Loom | REVIEW

Triode Wire Labs, run by the eponymous “Triode Pete” (aka Pete Grzybowski) was a company recommended to me very highly by my fellow PTA staff members. That included both Scot Hull and Marc Phillips, who […]

Core Power Technologies A/V Diamond Valiant, Defiant and Linx Cables | REVIEW

January 17, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

Who is Core Power Technologies (website), anyway? For that matter, who is Living Sounds Audio (LSA) and the LSA Group? A couple of years ago, I’d never heard of any of them. Now, I’m slowly […]

Nordost QKORE Ground Units and QKORE Wire | REVIEW

December 27, 2020 Marc Phillips 1

I enter the world of grounding, as it pertains to high-end audio, with some trepidation. When the Nordost QKORE products (website) first arrived at my doorstep—the QKORE1, QKORE 3 and QKORE6 Ground Units and quite […]

Luminous Audio Technology Prestige III Loudspeaker Cables | REVIEW

September 11, 2020 Marc Phillips 1

So I’m reviewing these Luminous Audio Technology Prestige III loudspeaker cables, ready to write down my impressions, and suddenly I remember that in my Raven Audio Soniquil cable review I spent all this time admonishing […]

Furutech NCF Clear Line Power Supply Optimizer | REVIEW

August 29, 2020 Marc Phillips 10

See if this takes you back. There’s a device you can buy that you can plug into any AC outlet in a room, and it transforms the sound of your hi-fi system. Sound familiar? There […]

AudioQuest Niagara 1200 and 3000 Power Conditioners | REVIEW

At a recent high-end audio show I sat with a group of colleagues in the hotel lobby and discussed, as we often do, what we had seen that was worthwhile. One person asked an interesting […]

Innuos Statement Music Server | REVIEW

April 26, 2020 Scot Hull 6

Filed Under: Things that shouldn’t matter Staring at the Innuos Statement (website), a $13,750 dedicated computer audio server, I’m reminded of a long-ago period in the evolution of digital audio. If you’ll cast your thoughts […]

Raven Audio Soniquil Series | REVIEW

March 13, 2020 Marc Phillips 4

It takes a brave soul to review high-end audio cables, it seems, even something as worthy as the Raven Audio Soniquil series. Many high-end audio publications no longer review cables—not because there aren’t obvious differences between […]

Final Touch Audio Cables | REVIEW

August 9, 2019 Norman Williams 8

Before I get to the Final Touch Audio cables, I have to confess. Or maybe just explain how and why this happened, and caveat the whole thing with this: “Sometimes in life, good things just […]

March 31, 2019 Lee Scoggins 5

Over the years, I have had the privilege of hearing some of the best power conditioners out there. My view on the topic is simple: a good power conditioner is the ultimate “three-for” for audiophiles […]

Review: The Shunyata Denali’s Towering Achievement

March 24, 2018 Lee Scoggins 4

“Why don’t you leave me alone? Why don’t you call me on the phone?” Thus begins the track “Limbo” from Yello’s tour de force album Toy. The bass is deep and rich. The clarity of […]
