The BIG Raidho Room | AXPONA 2019
It was the big secret of AXPONA 2019. Usually, it was whispered. The BIG RAIDHO ROOM. You have to see it. Go! Go now! And so I went. And went. And went. And did not […]

Aurender | AXPONA 2019
Visit any audio show and you will see lots of Aurender music servers in dozens of listening rooms. Before I got further into streaming, I honestly did not pay much attention. But at this show, […]

CAF 2018: Must See Rooms, Saturday
There are over 1,000,000 brands exhibiting here at Capital Audiofest … okay, okay, — I don’t know how many brands exactly, but it does seem like a lot this year. Which makes 2018’s event feel […]

Capital Audiofest 2017: Dr Vinyl has the cure
The Story Meeting Bob of Bob’s Devices on Thursday in the atrium marketplace during setup hours I had a great time pestering Bob about his presence in the audio show circuit. Though I don’t often […]

RMAF 2017: It’s still GamuT, dammit
Some experiences defy expectation. Just like some choices. Like peas and carrots — why on earth do those go well together? And really, chocolate and peanut butter? Ugh. And a businessman with zero government experience […]

AXPONA 2017: The Reel Deal
A photojournal by Eric Franklin Shook I love trolling the physical format cat fights on Facebook. “Vinyl vs Digital – Bowl of Milk, Party of Two”: blah blah, yada yada. My favorite way to do […]

AXPONA 2017: Fern & Roby, Redgum, GamuT, and Karan Acoustics with PenAudio
There’s was pulsating electro music, and a disco ball. Just kidding, I’m at AXPONA in Chicago, there’s Diana Krall, and Tony Bennet. BUT, and this is a big but, there’s a lot of non-traditional music being […]

RMAF 2016: GamuT Does it All (Almost)
The majority of manufacturers in the high-end concentrate on a limited number of product categories. Some focus on just one. Others, though, seek to run the gamut from speakers and electronics to wire and […]

Mini-Review: GamuT Lobster Chair
The GamuT Lobster Chair (chair $4,995, optional matching footstool $2,590) is a billed as “the world’s first audiophile chair.” I will respectfully defer — “firsts” don’t really matter to me as much as “awesomeness”, and […]

Newport 2016: GamuT RS3 and Pear Audio soothe my savage beast
Some rooms at a hi-fi show you walk into, and you just instantly go “Ahhhhhhh…” The Brigadiers room was like that, and when I darted into the GamuT room, I got the same vibe. That […]

AXPONA 2016: End of Line and Best In Show
My first AXPONA was five years ago in Atlanta. It was about as far from 2016 as you can get. Then, there was something like 20 rooms. Five years later, and the difference is almost […]

AXPONA 2016: It’s GamuT, dammit*
There are precious few audio brands “out there” that seem to care as much as the guys at GamuT. The speakers are designed to sound “live”. The amps are designed to “sound great”. This kind of […]

RMAF 2015: End of Line and Best in Show
Every year, I plan to wrap RMAF coverage up early. Every year, it goes later and later. It’s because I’m cursed. But this year, we were able to pile it pretty high and deep. 90 […]

RMAF 2015: GamuT serves up wine and lobster (chair)
A visit with Benno and Michael of GamuT Audio is mandatory. Why? Three reasons. First, they’re great guys and very easy to be around. Second, they’re very blonde. Third, the sound they manage to evoke […]

CES 2015: GamuT is a sexy beast
I will admit that I’m a newcomer to GamuT, with my only real experience with the brand being enthusiasm from George Counnas of Zesto Audio for their amps (Newport 2012, RMAF 2012, and Las Vegas 2013) […]

RMAF 2014: GamuT Audio and Pear Audio Analogue Run the … No, That’s Too Easy
Danish company GamuT Audio brought a little bit of Denmark with them to the show, with their blue-skied backdrop and a live recording of the Danish blues act Shades of Blue. 2014’s been a good […]

New York 2014: GamuT plays big, bad wolf and blows us away
“There was something about this room …” is what I heard, repeatedly, in reference to the all-GamuT room, put together by local NJ dealer Woodbridge Stereo. Something …. Maybe it was the speakers, the new […]

New York 2014: Hegel and GamuT, revving the engine
Ah, Hegel, let me count the ways …. Hegel Audio may or may not be named for the (in)famous 19th century philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. As some of you may or may not know, […]

RMAF12: Day One Multi-Pack (Part 2) — GamuT, Sutherland/Venture, Fried, Thiel, FAL
There were quite a few rooms that had interesting gear that I simply didn’t have time to revisit or spend any serious time with — but that I had some nice pics of from that […]
