GamuT, JMF and Ideon Audio | PAF 2023
I’ve spent a lot of time covering the French manufacturer JMF this year–simply because I think the sound of their gear is fantastic. I can say the same about Ideon Audio, a Greek company that […]

When I received Ole Bull–Stages of Life from 2L Recordings in Norway, I suddenly realized that I’ve been playing a game for some time with these releases. The front covers of most 2L albums share […]
This new recording of Symphony No. 9 in D Minor from Anton Bruckner is interesting to me on several levels. First of all, it comes from the Zoho Music label, which I associate with jazz–South […]
We just received news that JMF Audio of France will be entering the US market for the first time, and doing so with a new line of amplifiers. Information on JMF Audio, their distribution, and […]
We’ve reviewed plenty of gear from the Underwood HiFi umbrella of brands over the last year, everything from the Audio-gd Master 10 Mk. II integrated amplifier that was a nominee for Best Value of the […]
I’ve come to the realization that I like my jazz on the soft side. I’m not talking about lite jazz or soft jazz or any of that twinkly keyboard stuff, nor am I just thinking […]
Can a mere digital transport such as the Audio Note UK CDT One/II make a huge difference in the sound quality of a hi-fi system? Isn’t that the purview of the digital-to-analog converter that is […]
I have a theory, after all these months, that the Audio by Van Alstine DVA “digital” preamplifier was sent to me by accident. Do I really have a use for a line level preamplifier that […]
These have been prolific times for legendary composer and trumpet player Wadada Leo Smith. Over the last year or so I’ve received so many new recordings from Smith, and we’re not talking single albums. We’re […]
Choir recordings from 2L Recordings tend to be a special treat. Since Morten Lindberg loves to record in spacious Norwegian churches, these releases tend to be pure exercises in the relationship between the human voice […]
When I first installed the SPL Performer s1200 power amplifier into my main system a few months ago, I was a little worried. The Lab12 Integre4 integrated amplifier had just left the building, and I […]
I’ve made a concerted effort not to dwell on the country of origin of many of my review components over the last year or so. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen reviewers go a little overboard, […]
They’ve been here for a long time, this Pass Labs XP-22 preamplifier and matching XP-27 phono stage combo. Months, maybe even a year. They’ve watched other amps and preamps and integrated amps and phono stages […]
My father, who passed away in August, loved classical guitar recordings like Hazar Reincarnated. On his birthday that was one of the very few slam dunks, a sure thing for a man who was “notoriously […]
2L Recordings‘ Himmelborgen consists of three very familiar elements–pipe organ, choir and church. Yes, hymns are being sung. This beautiful recording should remind you of being in church on an early Sunday morning, provided you […]
Compared with last year’s High End in Munich, where I was in a perpetual state of solving huge problems in order to continue with my coverage and ultimately get back home in one piece, this […]
I tried to tell you about this new release from 2L Recordings before the holidays, but I just ran out of time. Fryd, from choir conductor Tove Ramlo-Ystad and her singers, known as Cantus, sounds […]
One of the most exciting things about reviewing 2L Recordings‘ new release of five Nikolai Medtner compositions for solo piano, other than the fascinating music itself, is being able to finally compare the CD and […]
I can always count on 2L Recordings when it comes to challenging me intellectually, through complex musical themes, or helping me to bask in the beauty of some of the finest recordings of the last […]
I don’t think I’ve given PTA Senior Contributing Editor Grover Neville enough credit about this in the past, but he really does an excellent job when it comes to discovering new and worthwhile manufacturers for […]
