Los Angeles Audio Show 2018 Cancelled

May 3, 2018 Editorial Staff 3

The 2018 Los Angeles Audio Show has been cancelled, and refunds will be issued immediately according to a statement released late Wednesday night by the show’s organizer Marine de Rogez-Presson. What this means exactly for […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Rafe’s wrap up on California

August 4, 2017 Rafe Arnott 1

While this may have been the inaugural Los Angeles Audio Show, it had an air of familiarity about it that made for an easygoing experience. Everything seemed to run like a well-oiled machine, and the […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Wrap-Up and John Stancavage’s Best of Show

August 3, 2017 John Stancavage 3

Audio shows can be a strange experience. No, I’m not talking about catching a frightening glimpse of yours truly, shakily down on all fours, getting a close-up photo of an XLR jack. I’m referring to […]

LA Audio Show 2017: The Voice That Is launches a Tidal wave

July 29, 2017 John Stancavage 2

You can say two things for certain about high-end audio dealer Doug White: He has terrific ears and is very discerning. White runs The Voice That Is, a Philadelphia-based shop. He is a fixture at […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Wyred 4 Sound, KEF offer attainable sonic bliss

July 28, 2017 John Stancavage 2

In the retail trade, products by Michael Kors and Kate Spade are considered “affordable luxury.” They offer a taste of opulence, but with prices significantly below Chanel or Neiman Marcus. High-end audio has its more […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Raidho D1.1 speakers create big sound from small box

July 27, 2017 John Stancavage 1

I get the impression that Raidho Acoustics is one of those high-end companies that does things in what it believes is the “right” way, no matter the cost. Raidho essentially confirms this on its website. […]

LA Audio Show 2017: ATC brings pro sound into your home

July 26, 2017 John Stancavage 2

I’ve long heard good reports about ATC speakers and electronics, but never seemed to be in the right place for a substantial demo. I finally corrected that situation at the Los Angeles Audio Show, where […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Rethm, Audio Hungary, Aqua create pleasing sound at attractive price

July 24, 2017 John Stancavage 3

Looking at price tags at audio shows quickly can start your head spinning. Yes, this hobby is called the high-end, but really? That’s why I always enjoy finding rooms where the rig sounds great, but […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Nola Gold 2s play music like ringing a bell

July 23, 2017 John Stancavage 1

Nola speakers don’t look like anything else. In my experience, hearing hundreds of different transducers at shows each year, they don’t sound like anything else, either. Visually, putting Nolas in your room is something like […]

LA Audio Show 2017 Video: The High End Zone, Perfect8 Technologies, Ypsilon Electronics

July 22, 2017 Rafe Arnott 2

  Through the Looking Glass. This is the Lewis Carroll sequel to the much more famous Alice in Wonderland. In it Alice again acquires entry to a magical world, this time by climbing through a […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Volti’s ‘compact’ Rival speaks with big voice

July 13, 2017 John Stancavage 1

I had to chuckle a little to myself when Volti Audio rolled out what it described as its “compact” loudspeaker at the Los Angeles Audio Show. Calling the new model small, however is kind of […]

LA Audio Show 2017: D’Agostino muscle, Audio Research glow, YG finesse – an intoxicating mix

July 9, 2017 John Stancavage 2

Have you ever been to a rock festival and started imagining your dream lineup in a hoped-for ending jam? What would it sound like to hear singer X with guitarist Y and drummer Z? Thoughts […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Vehement Audio off to auspicious start with Brezza Forte speakers

July 8, 2017 John Stancavage 1

It’s fairly common to run into one or two new companies each time I cover a major stereo event. What’s unusual, though, is to meet some fresh audio entrepreneurs on their first official day in […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Upscale Audio’s PrimaLuna Dialogue HP integrated much more than ‘good for the money’

July 6, 2017 John Stancavage 1

If you run into a friendly, middle-aged man at an audio show calling himself “Uncle Kevvy,” you can be sure that nearby there will be two things: lots of tubes and good sound. He may […]

LA Audio Show 2017: The $350 to $5,000 systems they were lining up for

June 30, 2017 John Stancavage Comments Off on LA Audio Show 2017: The $350 to $5,000 systems they were lining up for

There were a number of spectacular, cost-no-object components drawing stereo fans at the Los Angeles Audio Show, but the room I had the hardest time getting into featured a $350 USD rig. Even late Sunday […]

LA Audio Show 2017: Austin Hifi spreads the joy with Crimson, Tocaro, Resolution Audio

June 16, 2017 Rafe Arnott Comments Off on LA Audio Show 2017: Austin Hifi spreads the joy with Crimson, Tocaro, Resolution Audio

Some rooms at audio shows are like old friends that you haven’t seen for a while. The Austin Hifi room at the Los Angeles Audio Show was like that. They have a habit of putting […]

La Audio Show 2017: Acapella Cellini sings with Audio Note UK at Audio Federation

June 5, 2017 Rafe Arnott 1

Sometimes you have to take time to listen to what’s not there. So when I sat down to take in the room that Neli, and Mike Davis of Audio Federation, now out of Palo Alta, California […]

LA Audio Show 2017: The Kids Are Alright?

June 4, 2017 Rafe Arnott 2

In some ways the gentleman could be described as the typical North American audiophile. In others, he was most certainly not. He was white, looked to be in his 60s, was well-spoken, and nicely kitted-out in a […]

LA Audio Show 2017: In La La Land

June 3, 2017 Rafe Arnott 2

  Friday dawned bright in LA as the sun made its way through layered haze to paint my hotel room walls, and wake me up. This was the start of day two at the Los Angeles […]
