Dynaudio Confidence 50 Loudspeakers | REVIEW

July 19, 2020 Dave McNair 2

I’ve spent a lot of time enjoying large, floor-standing, top o’ the line speaker systems. But it wasn’t until the Dynaudio Confidence 50 loudspeakers showed up at my place that I’ve been able to experience […]

Bob Carver, House of Stereo, Wireworld, eXemplar, Wolf and VPI | FLAX 2020

Bob Carver is BACK! I’m not really sure he ever left, since his innovative and sometimes controversial products have been sold under different names over the years–Phase Linear, Carver, Sunfire and now The Bob Carver […]

April 24, 2019 Eric Franklin Shook 2

CHICAGO (PTA) — KLH Audio is back! And not to spoil the story, but nothing about the new KLH towers looks or sounds like a budget-friendly freshman effort. Working with Rogers High Fidelity amplification, the […]

November 25, 2018 Marc Phillips 2

You may have already read about the great mystery in Room 323 at the Capital Audiofest from Eric Franklin Shook of PTA and David Blumenstein from Dagogo. These two audio scribes conducted a sonic experiment of […]

Audio Note UK CDT-Two/II CD Transport Review

July 6, 2018 Scot Hull 1

Spinning Silver: Audio Note UK CDT-Two/II CD transports are passé. Boring. Irrelevant. So … yesterday. Now, if only someone would tell that to the 5,000+ shiny silver discs I have all over my house. Yes, […]

December 14, 2017 John Richardson Comments Off on Capital Audiofest 2017: Joseph Audio with Bel Canto and Doshi

At the door to welcome me into the Joseph Audio room was Jeff Joseph himself, a top-tier designer of high-quality speakers and long-time audio show veteran.  Mr. Joseph has been around the block a few […]

RMAF 2017: A mad dash in Denver with JCorder reel-to-reel, Bel Canto, Mr. Speakers, and Dan D’Agostino

October 8, 2017 Rafe Arnott 1

I have to admit the hallways at the Denver Marriott Tech Centre were starting to collapse inward like a spiral tunnel, and I felt like my legs were running through thigh-deep water by Saturday afternoon […]

Newport Beach 2016

Newport 2016: Wireworld

June 15, 2016 Mohammed Samji 2

At THE Show, I got a new perspective on cables. Cables are a highly contentious topic in our industry, and it was refreshing to spend a few minutes with David Salz, Designer and Founder of […]

RMAF 2015: Time for some (VPI) Prime (Joseph Audio) Perspective

October 7, 2015 Lee Scoggins 2

I’ve been enjoying a VPI Scoutmaster turntable for over eight years. It is solid, it sounds wonderful, and it mates well with my Lyra Argo cartridge. I really owe Michael Fremer a big “Thank You” […]

RMAF 2014: Audio Pathways, two turntables and a chair

October 18, 2014 Mal Kenney Comments Off on RMAF 2014: Audio Pathways, two turntables and a chair

Audio Pathways, from Richmond Hill in Ontario, presented what seemed to be a charmingly minimalist system. Two turntables and a chair? What less could you ask for. Another glance showed Focal Diablo Utopias ($12k) being […]

RMAF 2013: Bel Canto Black and TAD

October 21, 2013 Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney 1

Oh ho! This was an eye-catching room. I don’t know about you, but I associate Bel Canto with wee little attractive silver boxes, not with the dead sexy, completely black triumvirate ruling the equipment rack […]

CAS 2013: A Children’s Treasury of Missed Opportunities, or, The End

August 31, 2013 Mal Kenney Comments Off on CAS 2013: A Children’s Treasury of Missed Opportunities, or, The End

Too many exhibitors saw too little of us. Worse yet, we heard too little of them to write anything fair. We could say they were lovely. We could complain that they sounded terrible. The exhibitors, […]

CES 2013: Joseph Audio, Bel Canto and VPI

January 29, 2013 Editorial Staff 1

By some measures, the Joseph Audio/Bel Canto/VPI room at the Venetian was one of the more modest on display. The most expensive element, by far, was the $28k Pearl 3 loudspeakers from Joseph Audio.
