Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 24, 2022 Marc Phillips 5

If you haven’t noticed, I write two types of equipment reviews. The first type involves some piece of gear from a manufacturer I know well. I have history. I can spin a yarn about this […]

AXPONA 2022

Magnepan LRS Plus Plus Plus | AXPONA 2022

April 26, 2022 Scot Hull 2

It was supposed to be a secret, but I met a guy at this place and he told me the thing. Appointments were required, but then, I’m awesome, so to hell with that. I showed […]

Pass Labs XA-200.8 Power Amplifiers | REVIEW

December 5, 2021 Dave McNair 2

“I’m using some big ass mono amps, the Pass Labs XA-200.8. Ya know, the Class A ones.” Whenever I say that, in answer to a question from another audiophile, I get an interesting range of […]

Merason Frerot DAC with Pow1 LPSU | REVIEW

June 13, 2021 Marc Phillips 3

My review of the Merason Frerot DAC is the first time I’ve ever done a formal review of a stand-alone digital-to-analog converter. I do have plenty of experience with DACs over the last few years, […]

Sonus faber Maxima Amator Loudspeakers | REVIEW

March 28, 2021 Marc Phillips 3

The Sonus faber Maxima Amator loudspeakers (website) have taken me by surprise. I was so zeroed-in and focused on the idea of the perfect two-way bookshelf monitor, a longtime passion of mine, and now I […]

Von Schweikert Audio ESE Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 12, 2020 Marc Phillips 6

“Are you busy right now?” said the text from Von Schweikert Audio’s Leif Swanson. “Come back to the room when you can. We made a change.” This was back at the 2019 Capital Audiofest where […]

Trenner and Friedl Osiris Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 5, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Trenner and Friedl Osiris Loudspeakers | REVIEW

This is the final entry borne from that magical In Living Stereo room at last year’s Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. I started with the precious, jewel-like Mactone MH-120 power amplifier and XX-7000 preamplifier, continued with […]

MartinLogan Motion 35XTi Loudspeakers | REVIEW

April 5, 2020 Marc Phillips 5

Would I like to come visit the room at the 2019 RMAF to see the MartinLogan Motion 35XTi? Sure, I thought when I read the email from Devin Zell, MartinLogan, Paradigm and Anthem Marketing Manager. There […]

The Occasional Magazine Volume 6 | Now Available!

They say that the magpie is the cleverest of all birds. They say it also has quite an eye for bright and shiny toys. This time through, our magpie has found all manner of shiny […]

Cables & Power

Raven Audio Soniquil Series | REVIEW

March 13, 2020 Marc Phillips 4

It takes a brave soul to review high-end audio cables, it seems, even something as worthy as the Raven Audio Soniquil series. Many high-end audio publications no longer review cables—not because there aren’t obvious differences between […]

RMAF 2019

Marc’s RMAF Wrap-Up | RMAF 2019

October 1, 2019 Marc Phillips 3

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 […]

RMAF 2019

The Sound Organisation, Bryston | RMAF 2019

September 23, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on The Sound Organisation, Bryston | RMAF 2019

My first impression of The Sound Organisation exhibit room was how beautiful it was, not so much because of all the gorgeous equipment they brought but because of the room itself. Say what you will […]

RMAF 2019

Friday’s Highlights | RMAF 2019

September 7, 2019 Marc Phillips 4

Friday at the 2019 RMAF was one of those long, busy and productive days where at the end of it you sit back and think wow, I met a lot of interesting people. Not just […]

THE Show 2019

More Rooms from Sunny Components | T.H.E. Show 2019

July 4, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

Sunny Components Inc. made a huge impression on me at T.H.E. Show 2019 with their Stenheim/CH Precision/Technics room. But, as I mentioned before, Sunny’s had four exhibit rooms at the show and each one impressed […]

AXPONA 2018: Best of The Show, Wrap-Up, and Why I am an Audiophile

June 12, 2018 Eric Franklin Shook 1

Audio shows are more than new gear releases and demonstrations to me. They are a chance to connect with the strange personalities that embody what it means to be an eccentric. Sometimes our interests can […]

AXPONA 2018: Bryston actively demonstrates superiority

May 9, 2018 Eric Franklin Shook 2
