AXPONA 2022

GoldenEar and the Mystery of the BRX | AXPONA 2022

May 1, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

When I saw there was a GoldenEar room at AXPONA 2022, I knew I had to make a special trip. I’ve had the GoldenEar BRXs in for review for way too long–I never thought I’d […]

Purist Audio Design Poseidon Speaker Cables | REVIEW

April 8, 2022 Graig Neville 1

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 […]

LSA Discovery Warp One Power Amplifier | REVIEW

February 27, 2022 Graig Neville 2

I’m always open to listening to value proposition gear since it can be so much fun. When Underwood Hi-Fi (website) offered up their $1,499 LSA Discovery Warp One amplifier for review, I jumped at the […]

Atohm GT-3 Loudspeakers | REVIEW

February 11, 2022 Graig Neville 1

While looking for inspiration for my review of the Atohm GT-3 speakers from France, I watched the latest installment of The Grand Tour: Carnage A Trois. It got me thinking. Though the trio of self-proclaimed […]

Koetsu Urushi Black with Koetsu Stepup Transformer | REVIEW

February 6, 2022 Marc Phillips 3

The Koetsu Urushi Black phono cartridge reminds me that in my more pretentious moments as a journeyman audiophile, I referred to myself as a “Koetsu Guy.” This was after decades of less expensive and mostly […]

January 14, 2022 Marc Phillips 4

Do you have a long-term plan for listening to compact discs? Are you considering burning your discs to a music server and selling off your enormous collection? (That’s me.) Are you considering keeping your collection […]

Ideon Audio Ayazi Mk. 2 DAC and 3R Master Time | REVIEW

January 2, 2022 Marc Phillips 2

We have a running joke in the PTA War Room about the “big” DAC from Ideon Audio, which is rumored to be going to Dave McNair for review. Apparently it weighs over 1600 pounds, more […]

Margules I-240 Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW

November 7, 2021 Marc Phillips 2

The Margules I-240 integrated amplifier seems so familiar to me, and not just because I’ve known the Margules family for over a decade and I’ve heard this particular model play a number of times at […]

Balanced Audio Technology VK-3500 Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW

September 26, 2021 Marc Phillips 2

It’s been twelve or thirteen years since I’ve had Balanced Audio Technology in for review. That previous time, the only real seat time I’ve had with BAT, was with a pair of all-tube separates that […]

Allnic Audio T-2000 30th Anniversary Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW

September 19, 2021 Marc Phillips 5

You know how I used to start off each of my integrated amplifier reviews with an opening paragraph on why I love integrated amplifiers? Yes, I made a promise not to do that ever again, […]

Jeff Rowland Design Group Capri S2-SC and Model 125 | REVIEW

August 29, 2021 Marc Phillips 4

The Jeff Rowland Design Group Capri S2-SC preamplifier and Model 125 amplifier are soooooo tiny. How tiny are they? When the boxes arrived at my front door, I said “This can’t be right. These boxes […]

Grover’s Wrap-Up and Best of Show | T.H.E. SHOW 2021

July 8, 2021 Grover Neville 2

THE SHOW 2021 was, by my estimation, a reason for cautious optimism. Everything appeared to go off without a hitch, attendees were well-behaved and plentiful enough, and exhibitors seemed pleased by the amount and depth […]

July 2, 2021 Graig Neville 1

I feel like I’m the designated Part-Time Audiophile power lifter lately. I received another freight shipment containing the McIntosh C49 preamplifier and MC312 power amplifier, weighing in at back squat workout weight of 234 lbs. […]

Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary Turntable and Hana Umami Red Cartridge | REVIEW

May 30, 2021 Mohammed Samji 4

To say the Technics (website) SL-1200 is a legend is an understatement. Rumor has it that they sold 3.5 to 4 million SL-1200s over its 50+ year history. Its distinct look, reliability and smooth pitch […]
