Choosing the Part-Time Audiophile 2022 Product of the Year was far more difficult than in years past. Since I was determined not to repeat what I did in 2020 and 2021–choose a two-way loudspeaker that […]

Why do a comparison between the Technics SL-1210GAE and SL-1200G? Everybody “knows” the Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary turntable, which was just released last year, is better than the Technics SL-1200G. Why? Well, the classic Technics […]
