I make fun of Lou Hinkley for a couple of reasons. One, he has an excellent sense of humor. Two, he rarely shows it, preferring by far to phone in his amusement with just a […]
By Dr. Panagiotis Karavitis On paper this was one of the most unexpected combinations of the Munich show. A 150 Watt/8Ohm power amp driving a highly sensible horn speaker? I gave a first listen to […]
Ammar Jadusingh (AJ to those of us prone to slaughtering names) was showing a brand new loudspeaker from his Soundfield Audio brand, the $8,500/pair Variable Soundfield Tower 3 (VST-3). These are really interesting — powered […]
It seems like I’ve covered the Daedalus/ModWright pairing at audio shows for longer than I have been going to audio shows. Impossible, sure, but it’s worth underlining the point — these guys have been teaming […]

Newport 2012 was a really big show — the biggest of the regional shows I’ve yet been to. Something like 50 rooms and 10,000 tickets sold, with Dean Peer, Tierney Sutton, Anne Bisson, and Mike […]
Things that go together: Peanut butter and jelly. Bread and butter. Beans and toast. Natural matches! Okay, well, everything except that last one — the English are just weird. Things that don’t match: Solid state […]
