Daedalus Audio and LTA | PAF 2023

June 30, 2023 Marc Phillips 1

Best Albums of 2019 | Monthly Spins

January 26, 2020 Joe Surdna 3

2019 went by really fast, a blur of truth/reality and fake/reality. One might be tempted to say that 1984 is finally upon us and all the early post-modern philosophers got it right. The “simulacrum” was […]

Daedalus Audio with VAC, Lampizator, and WyWires | AXPONA 2019

April 21, 2019 Editorial Staff 4

December 25, 2017 John Stancavage 20

November 18, 2017 Eric Franklin Shook 1

RMAF 2017: Best In Show

November 11, 2017 John Stancavage 6

This year dawned with plenty of questions facing the high-end audio industry. The most pressing were: Would the U.S. economy hold up, allowing manufacturers and retailers to stay afloat? Would vinyl continue its revival, possibly […]

June 5, 2017 John Stancavage Comments Off on AXPONA 2017: Daedalus goes deeper with new 10-inch woofer

The last time I listened at length to a pair of Daedalus Audio speakers at a show, they were flanked by the company’s custom subwoofers. At AXPONA, I again was impressed by the low frequencies […]

April 22, 2017 John Stancavage Comments Off on AXPONA 2017: Putting eyeballs and eardrums on the latest gear

Capital Audiofest 2016: Daedalus goes BorderPatrol, stirring wood

July 23, 2016 Scot Hull 2

July 13, 2016 John Stancavage Comments Off on Newport 2016: ModWright can do no wrong with Ryan, Daedalus

Review: Daedalus Audio Ulysses v2

November 28, 2015 Scot Hull 10

Got Wood? Lou Hinkley’s choice of using solid wood in his loudspeaker designs may be something of a throwback. An anachronism. I like to think of it as a semi-deliberate “up yours” to the armchair philosophers […]

What’s Next/Coming Soon

November 18, 2015 Scot Hull 2

November 3, 2015 John Stancavage 3

September 4, 2015 Scot Hull 1

Leveraging an unusual corner-of-the-room setup, Lou Hinkley of Daedalus Audio and Dan Wright of ModWright managed to wring some spell-binding sound out of the Capital Audiofest this year. None of this stuff is exactly cheap. It’s […]

ModWright was showing off a brand-new all-tube venture in concert with his partner-in-crime, the wood-working wizard behind Daedalus Audio. The new widget? The Ambrose, an EL-34-based single-ended pentode amplifier! Apparently, this is a test-shot — a whole […]
