What is it about these so-called “all-in-one” components, such as the Electrocompaniet ECI6DX-MKII, that I like so much? When I was a journeyman audiophile I was always taught that it’s better to separate the features […]
If you’ve been following my high-end audio show reports over the years, you know I always reserve time for the Joseph Audio, Doshi Audio, Cardas, Aurender, J. Sikora and Berkeley Audio Design room. It’s a […]
I’m usually cautious about visiting dealer exhibit rooms at high-end audio shows–in most cases the dealer is trying to fit all of his lines into one big system that probably lacks the appropriate amount of […]
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 […]
Just last month PTA Editor-in-Chief Marc Phillips visited Command Performance AV in Falls Church VA and listened to several amplifiers from The Gryphon–and he was quite impressed. Now’s your chance to experience these amazing amplifiers […]
I hadn’t planned on visiting Dr. Vinyl on the way to Europe, but I had an open day after I attended the Alma Audio East event just 40 miles away in Virginia. The Doc had […]
Notable Audio, if you don’t know, is the importing and distributing wing of Jeff Fox’s audio empire. Jeff, of course, has been a dealer under the Command Performance A/V moniker for as long as I […]
Didn’t I just spend a weekend with this system when I flew to Baltimore a few weeks ago and visited Dr. Vinyl? When I first walked into this room, I felt like Dr. Vinyl just […]
Why Team Joseph? Well, I could call it Team Doshi or Team J. Sikora or Team Berkeley Audio. But we have a bad habit at high-end audio shows of giving all the credit in an […]
It’s not often that I travel across the country just to hear a new audio product, but last weekend I did exactly that when I met with Dr. Vinyl, a dealer outside Baltimore, to hear […]
Last year we were blown away by the NOLA Champ S3 speakers that Marc Phillips later reviewed, and also in our report from Capital Audiofest 2021. Reporting by Eric Franklin Shook This year, it’s the all […]
It’s not the first time I’ve heard a J Sikora turntable in the Joseph Audio/Doshi Audio/Cardas room, and I feel like it won’t be the last. Joseph, Doshi and Cardas have forged one of those […]
Command Performance AV put forth one of the better exhibits at Capital Audio Fest 2021, featuring products from Qln, The Gryphon, J. Sikora, Doshi, Innuos, GigaWatt, Swisscables, with a little help from their friends at […]
I spend a lot of time at these shows talking about the Big Audio Rooms such as Von Schweikert/VAC, Wilson Audio and The Voice That Is!, but Jeff Fox of Command Performance A/V is quietly […]
I thought a 2019 Capital Audiofest preview from me was necessary, since so many products featured at the show are being reviewed (or have been reviewed) by both Part-Time Audiophile and The Occasional. This is […]
My RMAF wrap-up for 2019 almost didn’t happen. Many people in the high-end audio industry were concerned with the new venue, the Gaylord Rockies Resort, and the increased expenses for exhibiting at a show held […]
Notable Audio Products is the distribution side of Jeff Fox’s Command Performance AV dealership in Falls Church VA, and Jeff had sort of a late ’90s New York Yankees approach to RMAF 2019–stack the room […]
Friday at the 2019 RMAF was one of those long, busy and productive days where at the end of it you sit back and think wow, I met a lot of interesting people. Not just […]
Devore Fidelity is still monkeying around, Doshi Audio goes hybrid, and J. Sikora sets a new Standard. The Story Doshi Audio has grown into its commercial and critical success, achieving recent prominence in the high-end […]
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 […]
