Meet EMIA Audio, an informal coupling of Experienced Music and Intact Audio (hence EMIA), two companies whose principals decided to informally join forces to make great music. Much of what these guys are doing involves […]
Dave Slagle builds oft-talked about (and lavishly praised by my brother from another mother Malachi Kenney) autoformers, he is a champion of the modest audiophile with his EMIA gear which features the EMIA phono stage, […]
Sometimes (okay, oftentimes), I get the feeling that the EMIA guys (Jeffrey Jackson and Dave Slagle) are just on a different project than I am. Like I’m somehow, and continuously, missing the point. It’s perplexing. They’re […]
One of the most visually striking demos I caught at CAF this year was from show-organizer Gary Gill and his Sousahorn display. The Sousahorn is derived from the Le Ceac’h exponential horn designs, currently sold […]

In 2011, Enjoy The Music posted an article by Dick Olsher on a DIY project, the Slagle Autoformer Volume Control (AVC for short). I remember reading it, getting excited about it, and flailing fruitlessly around, wondering where […]
Stereodesk had several rooms/displays at Capital Audiofest this year. In this one, I found a new-to-me Siggwan 12 tonearm (a true floating unipivot) on a vintage Garrard 301 refurb, married to a Dave Slagle-designed front […]
Emia’s Dave Slagle grabbed me in between rooms and practically dragged me down into the lobby to see something. “You’re not gonna believe it,” he said. Okay, when Dave gets excited, one of two things […]
