Qln Reference 9 | AXPONA 2024
I’ve been waiting to hear the Qln Reference 9 loudspeaker ($42,000/pr) for a couple of years ago, ever since I picked the Qln Reference monitors as the 2022 Product of the Year. The Qln Reference […]

Several members of the PTA team own and use Innuos products, and with this new software update–Innuos 2.6–we’ll have more features than ever before. Here’s the official press release for Innuos 2.6: INNUOS SOFTWARE UPDATE […]
Sometimes I think about the role of the chassis in high-end audio design, especially when I’m confronted with components such as The Black Swan phono preamplifier and The Black AMP headphone amplifier from Austin Audio […]
“It’s for people who just want to stream,” the folks from Faro told me when I first listened to the Innuos PULSAR network streamer. “You mean people like me?” I asked, and they nodded in […]
The story of my Innuos factory tour starts off in a fascinating part of the world–Faro, Portugal, at the southwestern tip of the Iberian peninsula, a relatively short distance from the Spanish border, Gibraltar, the […]
Here’s something I don’t do very often. I bought the new Naim NAIT 50 integrated amplifier without listening to it first. I’ve spent a lot of time warning audiophiles not to do this and here […]
Why do I need the Fern & Roby Isolation Feet in my system? If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been using a gorgeous Fern and Roby equipment rack for the last few years. I love it. […]
This is the second year in a row that I’ve agreed to transport a pair of review speakers from the Pacific Audio Fest back to the house, and it’s the second time my Mazda CX-5 […]
When I first saw the name “Audio-gd,” I might have been a little confused. It might have been a case of an initial misread–I thought the email said Audio G-D, and perhaps the manufacturers belonged […]
As we’re testing the Innuos Pulsar network streamer–which is quite amazing–we’ve received news that the innovative digital audio company from Portugal is making its first appearance at Hong Kong High-End A/V show this weekend. In […]
Unfortunately, Wells Audio has been one of those high-end audio brands in the periphery for me–I know the name but have no seat time. I rectified that situation at the 2023 Pacific Audio Fest, however. […]
It’s been the battle of the BIG loudspeakers in high-end audio this year–I know, but even more so than usual–and all the big players seemed to converge at PAF 2023. The Acora Acoustics VRC-1 loudspeakers […]
Innuos has been consistently pulling me into their rooms at audio shows for quite a few reasons. First of all, they’re super nice people and they always take the time to explain their technologies in […]
This is my third High End Munich show, but this is the first time I actually attended on the first day–Thursday. Not Friday, but Thursday. It’s my fault–I’m used to Friday/Saturday/Sunday high-end audio shows. But […]
There were two $39,000 Vinnie Rossi Brama integrated amplifiers at AXPONA 2023. One was in the Vinnie Rossi room, obviously, with an Innuos digital source. The other was in the Innuos room, with the Vinnie […]
I had a few questions when I walked into the Artisan Fidelity room at AXPONA 2023 and came face to face with a full TIDAL Audio system. Is TIDAL Audio going to sound okay in […]
I have to admit–there’s a part of me that missed hearing Vinnie Rossi amplification with Qln speakers. That’s some of the best sound I know right there, after all, with a Vinnie Rossi Brama integrated […]
Why should you care about an audiophile grade network switch? Stick with me a while, and I’ll tell you a little bit about the Silent Angel Bonn N8 Pro. You see, like most of us, […]
It’s almost impossible for me to be impartial or objective when I visit The Three Amigos room at a high-end audio show. I’ve been consistently blown away by the sound that Greg Roberts (Volti Audio), […]
The Acoustic Energy and Fidelity Imports room at the 2023 Florida Audio Expo reminds me that we all love the cost-no-object rooms at these events. They dazzle and show what is possible. When we all […]
