AXPONA 2022

Rethm Loudspeakers and iFi | AXPONA 2022

April 28, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

I’ve listened to Rethm loudspeakers on two occasions, both many years ago. The first time I was amazed–I had just started to explore the idea of single-driver speakers and SETs, and Art Dudley (back in […]

April 27, 2022 Marc Phillips 0

At every high-end audio show, there should be something that’s a complete surprise to you. At AXPONA 2022, that came in the form of a small pair of Swiss loudspeakers in the AudioShield room. We’ve […]

Purist Audio Design Poseidon Speaker Cables | REVIEW

April 8, 2022 Graig Neville 1

At Part-Time Audiophile we collectively agree that cables matter. Even our stalwart holdout Dave McNair has seen the light recently–it might be dim, but it’s still light! Cable technology, however, is still heavily open to […]

April 3, 2022 Grover Neville 5

Van Alstine DVA Digital Preamplifier | REVIEW

February 25, 2022 Marc Phillips 1

I have a theory, after all these months, that the Audio by Van Alstine DVA “digital” preamplifier was sent to me by accident. Do I really have a use for a line level preamplifier that […]

The most involving and enjoyable car stereo I’ve ever heard was in one a boxy white Volvo S70 my mother owned for the better part of my late childhood. Though branding was subtle, peering through […]

December 10, 2021 Grover Neville 1

I recently heard Sonus faber Olympica Nova V (website) floorstanding speakers at Brian Hunter’s house, as well as the affordable Lumina models that Marc Phillips reviewed earlier in 2021. I was taken aback to say […]
