Credo EV Reference One Loudspeakers | REVIEW

July 17, 2022 Dave McNair 2

I enjoyed my listening time with the Credo EV Reference One speakers (website) very much. It’s yet another example of the attention to detail and precision-engineered ethos that I’ve experienced in reviewing other “made-in-Switzerland” audio […]

Koetsu Urushi Black with Koetsu Stepup Transformer | REVIEW

February 6, 2022 Marc Phillips 3

The Koetsu Urushi Black phono cartridge reminds me that in my more pretentious moments as a journeyman audiophile, I referred to myself as a “Koetsu Guy.” This was after decades of less expensive and mostly […]

Hana Umami Red Phono Cartridge | REVIEW

September 3, 2021 Marc Phillips 6

Hagerman Audio Labs Trumpet MC Phono Preamplifier | REVIEW

August 15, 2021 Marc Phillips 2

Sumiko Celebration 40 MC Phono Cartridge | REVIEW

July 30, 2021 Marc Phillips 2

The Sumiko Celebration 40 moving-coil phono cartridge entered the stable during a very busy time for analog at my place. I’ve plenty of phono preamps and step-up transformers and cartridges in for review, and we’re […]

Technics SL-1210GAE and SL-1200G Turntables | REVIEW

July 5, 2021 Marc Phillips 4

  Why do a comparison between the Technics SL-1210GAE and SL-1200G? Everybody “knows” the Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary turntable, which was just released last year, is better than the Technics SL-1200G. Why? Well, the classic Technics […]

Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary Turntable and Hana Umami Red Cartridge | REVIEW

May 30, 2021 Mohammed Samji 4

To say the Technics (website) SL-1200 is a legend is an understatement. Rumor has it that they sold 3.5 to 4 million SL-1200s over its 50+ year history. Its distinct look, reliability and smooth pitch […]

Musical Surroundings, AMG, DS Audio, Rogue, Magnepan | FLAX 2020

February 15, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Musical Surroundings, AMG, DS Audio, Rogue, Magnepan | FLAX 2020

At most high-end audio shows, I happen upon a turntable that strikes me as unusually beautiful–so much so that I almost want to own it based solely on its aesthetics. At FLAX 2020, I found […]

February 9, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Saturday Highlights | FLAX 2020

My Saturday highlights for FLAX 2020 start off with the fact that I haven’t seen much of Tampa during my visit–except what I can view from my 14th floor hotel room. I can barely see […]

April 22, 2018 Mohammed Samji 4

Audiophiles can’t always agree on what tastes delicious. Maybe you like tubes, solid state, digital, or pure analog… 31 flavours can’t do it justice, but there is something for everyone. Chicago based Quintessence Audio and […]
