AXPONA 2023

Fern and Roby, LTA and the PTA Record Weight | AXPONA 2023

April 20, 2023 Marc Phillips 2

It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve seen Christopher Hildebrand of Fern & Roby. Actually, it doesn’t seem like a long time since I’ve seen Fern & Roby, considering my equipment rack is similar […]

Fern and Roby Raven III Loudspeakers | REVIEW

January 30, 2022 Marc Phillips 3

It was some time ago, just before the pandemic, that Christopher Hildebrand of Fern and Roby first told me of his plans for an even larger speaker in his Raven line, possibly even a three-way. […]

Fern & Roby Raven III Loudspeakers | First Listen

October 31, 2021 Eric Franklin Shook 5

Dave McNair and myself were itching to get back out on the road. The absence of audio shows had us growing restless with work-from-home life, and the impending end-of-days for longstanding events like Rocky Mountain […]

Fern and Roby Maverick Phono Preamplifier | REVIEW

August 14, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Fern and Roby Maverick Phono Preamplifier | REVIEW

I originally intended to include this review of the Fern and Roby Maverick phono preamplifier as part of my testing of their Montrose turntable and tonearm. Things changed during the review process, however—what was once […]

Fern & Roby Factory Tour (Photojournal)

May 12, 2020 Eric Franklin Shook Comments Off on Fern & Roby Factory Tour (Photojournal)

RICHMOND, VA (PTA) — Throughout the year of 2019, a few of us at Part-Time Audiophile have spent what we see as a warranted amount of time in adoration of everything Fern & Roby. From […]

Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier | REVIEW

December 8, 2019 Marc Phillips 2

I originally intended for this review of the Linear Tube Audio Z10 integrated amplifier to be sort of a mini-review in conjunction with the Fern & Roby Raven loudspeakers since I was scheduled to only […]

Fern & Roby Listening Room Open House

November 25, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

I’ve been looking forward to the Fern & Roby Listening Room Open House event for most of the year, pretty much since Eric Franklin Shook and I visited the factory back in the spring and […]

CAF 2019

Fern and Roby, ModWright Instruments, Black Cat Cable | CAF 2019

November 15, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

I know I’ve been blathering on and on about Fern & Roby lately–the review of the $9500/pair Raven loudspeakers appeared just before the 2019 Capital Audiofest, Eric Franklin and I featured out tour of the […]

Capital Audiofest Friday Highlights | CAF 2019

November 2, 2019 Marc Phillips 3

It was fairly difficult to come up with Capital Audiofest Friday Highlights, and not for a bad reason. I don’t like to judge rooms on sound on the first day of the show–it takes at […]

Fern & Roby Raven Loudspeakers | REVIEW

October 19, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Fern & Roby Raven Loudspeakers | REVIEW

My adventures with the Fern & Roby Raven loudspeakers started last year, right before I left my house in Western New York to drive down to the Capital Audiofest in the suburbs of Washington DC. […]

AXPONA 2019

Fern & Roby, Linear Tube Audio | AXPONA 2019

April 14, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

Here’s the thing, and this is the last time I’ll mention my past life on the other side of the industry as an importer and distributor. You see, I was stuck in my room for […]

AXPONA 2018: Fern & Roby hit the ground running with Linear Tube Audio

April 12, 2018 Rafe Arnott 1

I’ve had the opportunity to cover Christopher Hildebrand’s efforts several times in the past two years as he builds up his, bespoke high-fidelity brand Fern & Roby. Speaking with him via telephone after he arrived […]
