Best of Show | New York 2019

November 24, 2019 Editorial Staff 1

With rush hour approaching, we decided to skip a few rooms and head back to Grand Central to catch the Metro North train back home.  Walking down Madison Avenue, we were mobbed with the exodus […]

Tweak Studio, T+A Electroakustik, Channel D | New York 2019

November 17, 2019 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Tweak Studio, T+A Electroakustik, Channel D | New York 2019

I was surprised to see a new production Sota Saphire turntable ($3,600) as the main source in this room, not having seen a Sota turntable at a show in many years.  Mounted on it was […]

AXPONA 2019

AudioQuest, Vandersteen, Channel D | AXPONA 2019

May 1, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on AudioQuest, Vandersteen, Channel D | AXPONA 2019

I just checked out the AudioQuest and Vandersteen room back at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest last fall, so walking into this room at AXPONA 2019 felt like it might be more of the same–an excellent […]

“Affordable high-end” — is that like “jumbo shrimp”?

March 4, 2017 John Stancavage 11

How many Simolians do you have to part with these days to get good sound? I mean, really? Is it even possible, or just a frustrating pipe dream? That seems to have been Topic A […]

AXPONA 2016: “This stuff costs how much? No f@!#ing way!”

May 29, 2016 John Stancavage 8

When I attend audio shows these days, I spend a lot of time riding elevators. This year at AXPONA in the Westin O’Hare in Chicago, where more than 400 exhibitors were scattered across eight floors, […]

AXPONA: Tuning in to Channel D

May 20, 2016 John Stancavage 1

Channel D has become so well-known for its audio software that it’s easy to overlook the fact that the company makes impressive phono preamps as well. Engineering guru Dr. Rob Robinson set up one of […]

High End 2014: Some Announcements

May 16, 2014 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on High End 2014: Some Announcements

Been seeing a slew of NPI (new product intro) announcements hitting the wires, perhaps targeting (or just piggybacking on) the High End Show in Munich. Thought it might make sense to set out a few […]

AXPONA 2014: Channel D launches Pure Vinyl 4.0 and the crowd goes wild

May 4, 2014 Scot Hull Comments Off on AXPONA 2014: Channel D launches Pure Vinyl 4.0 and the crowd goes wild

At first glance, Channel D‘s Dr Rob Robinson was demo’ing the same system that he’s shown at the last several shows. There was a pair of $7,500 Joseph Audio Pulsars were paired with $2,795 Lynx […]

RMAF 2013: Channel D and Merrill Audio

November 5, 2013 Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney Comments Off on RMAF 2013: Channel D and Merrill Audio

The Merrill Audio/Channel D system was a grand marriage of digital and analog. The analog source was an AMG Viella V12 with AMG tonearm ($18,000) and Ortofon Cadenza Bronze MC cartridge ($2,199). The phono preamp […]

Channel D Seta Buffer | Review

September 15, 2013 Scot Hull 13

One of the coolest parts of this “job” is that I, very occasionally, get to play with something entirely sweet, new, and altogether unexpected. I’m pretty sure it’s the Old Spice. Anyway, let me introduce […]

CAF 2013: Merrill Audio, Sanders Sound Labs, Channel D

August 2, 2013 Scot Hull 1

Merrill Wettasinghe, the eminently affable man behind Merrill Audio, was showing off a quartet of his Veritas mono blocks ($6,000 each), driving a pair of Sanders ESL loudspeakers, obviously biamping them. The Veritas amps feature […]

On the Bench: Channel D Seta Buffer Stage

December 2, 2012 Editorial Staff 3

Every now and again, something interesting and new comes along. Is that a cliche? Probably. But still, it’s exciting when it happens. Especially when it’s something you didn’t even know you needed. I have an […]

RMAF 2012

RMAF12: Channel D and their silky sonata in the key of Seta

November 15, 2012 Editorial Staff 4

I’ve been using Dr. Rob Robinson’s “Pure Music” software program for a couple of years now. I prefer it, one, because it works as advertised, and two, because it was vastly less expensive than its […]

Newport Beach 2012

Newport 2012: Channel D, Joseph Audio, Lynx Studio & Artemis Labs

June 7, 2012 Editorial Staff 1

I think it’s wise to bring comfortable clothes to an audio shows. Especially shoes. You might be wearing them down a bit, hunting for that one room that fits you. Where you can relax. Take […]

AXPONA 2012

AXPONA 2012: Joseph Audio, Hegel, Channel D

March 13, 2012 Scot Hull 4

I don’t think it’s a surprise that I think the Joseph Audio Pulsars are among the very, very best speakers, at any price. They do things that are just remarkable. And this year at AXPONA, […]
