Matrix Audio Element M2 Hi-Res Music Streamer | REVIEW

October 9, 2022 Editorial Staff 1

“The reviewing of DACs is a difficult matter,      It’s not just another internet adage; You might think me daft as a high-pass subwoofer; When I tell you, each DAC must have its own special […]

August 5, 2022 Marc Phillips 2

  I’ve visited the Joseph Audio/Doshi Audio/Cardas room three times this year–at AXPONA 2022, High End 2022 in Munich and now a third time at the Pacific Audio Fest. Pretty much the same system, too, […]

April 23, 2022 Scot Hull Comments Off on Drooling over Acora, VAC, LampizatOr, UHA, TW-Acustic | AXPONA 2022

I am not in the budget for an ultra-fi system — and probably never will be. That fact, sad though it is, is true for most of us. HOWEVER, the point of the ultra-fi is […]

Best of Show and Wrap-Up | CAF 2021

November 19, 2021 Eric Franklin Shook 1

November 16, 2021 Dave McNair 3

November 13, 2021 Eric Franklin Shook 2

I’ve written it before and it bears repeating: audio show exhibitions from The Audio Company of Marietta, GA should charge an additional admission fee. You know, like the special exhibitions at art and science museums […]

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 […]

Pietra and Benchmark | T.H.E. SHOW 2021

June 24, 2021 Grover Neville 2

I’m not familiar with Pietra speakers (website), but they resembled the Acora Acoustics speakers which both Marc Phillips and Dave McNair have reviewed and raved to me about recently. The large marble front baffles meant […]

June 20, 2021 Grover Neville 1

I’ve long been a fan of Wilson Benesch (website) speakers, but they’re a rare sight here in the United States. I was intrigued to see local distributor Aaudio Imports playing a pair of Wilson Benesch […]

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 […]

Eikon Audio and the Meeting of an Audio Legend | FLAX 2020

February 25, 2020 Marc Phillips 2

The Eikon Audio room at the 2020 Florida Audio Expo was sort of an enigma at first sight–a single pair of speakers set very far apart against a very plain backdrop with a faint projection […]

February 16, 2020 Eric Franklin Shook Comments Off on Vaughn Loudspeakers, Linear Tube Audio (LTA), MJ Acoustics, Anticables, Wavelength, Aurender | FLAX 2020

TAMPA, FL (PTA) — As far as I remember this was only the second line array at the show. The other being the one from Bob Carver. Each one sounding much different from the other, […]

February 16, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Suncoast Audio, Stenheim, VAC, Aurender, Acoustic Signature, Critical Mass Systems | FLAX 2020

Every time I visit a high-end audio show room with Stenheim loudspeakers, I mention how I’m trying to get a pair in for review–specifically, the Alumine 2 bookshelf speakers ($11,950). I’ve heard these Swiss speakers, […]
