DENVER (PTA) — All of the media reports I have read indicate that the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest of 2019 was — despite all odds — a smashing success. Eric’s Best-of-Show Exhibits The time required […]
My RMAF wrap-up for 2019 almost didn’t happen. Many people in the high-end audio industry were concerned with the new venue, the Gaylord Rockies Resort, and the increased expenses for exhibiting at a show held […]
DENVER (PTA) — This all stems from sitting down with Audio Envy at two different audio shows (T.H.E., CAF), a summer long conversation about cables, and an ear-opening A-to-B demonstration that had to be witnessed […]
DENVER (PTA) — This is my first time with a Commonwealth Idler Drive ($19,900 USD) professional turntable. Exactly the story behind it, I don’t know. It’s from Xact Audio of Boise, Idaho and I like […]
DENVER (PTA) — In one of many dark rooms at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest of 2019, AGD Productions and Sigma Acoustics brought together small-package-power, and big-package-finesse like few others could. Though dark and moody, […]
DENVER (PTA) — If you haven’t met Kevin Deal (the Tube Guru) of Upscale Audio, and more “recent YouTube fame“, you definitely need to make it to their retail location or at least do a […]
In the last couple of months I’ve gotten a crash course on Sonus Faber of Italy. First, I reviewed the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova I right here at Part-Time Audiophile. Second, I reported on their […]

DENVER (PTA) — High End by OZ gave us a US debut from Vitus Audio with their monster integrated amplifier, AudioSolutions brings an incredibly dynamic loudspeakers to the table, and Ansuz Acoustics cable worms its […]
At AXPONA 2019, I raved about the new Wharfedale Heritage speaker line, which consists of the 3-way Linton and 2-way Denton loudspeakers. These two models were introduced to celebrate the 85th anniversary of Wharfedale, and […]
As a guy who used to run exhibit rooms at high-end audio shows, I must admit that no one runs exhibits rooms at high-end audio shows quite like Jonathan Derda of MoFi Distribution. With every […]
DENVER (PTA) — Troy Audio, along with Thrax Audio electronics, and a Frank Schroeder turntable comprised a simple, but hulking system. The only thing larger than the refrigerator sized loudspeakers in the room is the […]
With all this talk about women in audio, I wonder why more isn’t said about Danielle Manger of Manger Audio in Germany. Her loudspeakers are innovative–check out that unique Manger Sound Tranducer, which is at […]
This the third time this year that I’ve heard CH Precision and Stenheim loudspeakers matched in a system–I’ve already heard this combo at both High End 2019 in Munich and at T.H.E. Show in Long […]
