It isn’t often that a dealer room at a high-end audio show catches my attention. That’s not me being a snob or anything, but dealers usually have to assemble a system from all their brands, […]
The new Krell KSA-i400 Amplifier made some breaking news at AXPONA 2022 — and not only for it’s back-breaking 160lb curb weight. The amp, which will retail for $35,000, features the latest in tech from Krell […]
LOS ANGELES (PTA) — This year’s T.H.E. SHOW 2019 is bigger, better, and already on track to be the most newsworthy yet. There are over 1,000,000 brands exhibiting here in Long Beach — okay, […]
Wow. What a great beginning for a much-needed, in my opinion, regional Florida-based show. The weather was great, the sound was great, the people were great, the food and drinks were great. Tampa in February? […]
It seems like lately, I’ve been reconsidering some past held audio prejudices. For one, I have started to re-evaluate low power amps and what they are capable of. Two, I am understanding in more detail […]
Photography by Paul Elliott I have completely bought into the music reproduction industry ever since I heard the difference between lamp cord as speaker wire and Monster brand wire oh so many years ago. Yes, […]
There are over 400 brands exhibiting here at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Making this event one of largest audio shows in North America. For some this can seem overwhelming. and cause a bit of anxiety. […]
Somnambulists. A lot of them. Walking in circles, and randomly bumping into each other. That’s what the Magnepan 30.7 demo event at Hifi Centre in Vancouver would have looked like if you peeked through the […]
It took me days to digest this new show, new for me as the Warsaw Audio Video Show is going on for more than twenty years now. Big show, I think that only Munich has […]
Names like Andrew Jones, Laurence Dickie and Joachim Gerhard do ring a bell? From what I have found or better auditioned during the Warsaw show we must add Miro Krajnc to the list of […]
For the “audiophile” breed of music lover who wants to confidently move away from vinyl, there is a way. Possibly you are younger or didn’t have a large vinyl collection to begin with, and don’t […]
MSB always puts on a great room, and we’ve been hypnotized in the Newport Show 2016 MSB Room and at CES 2017 MSB rooms. MSB to date has products on both ends of the spectrum. On […]
This year, I decided to do the accelerated CES 2017 tour. With some loss of good judgement, I created a flight plan in and out of Vegas from Seattle in a single day with just enough time to […]
Every show has a couple of rooms that generate a particular buzz. After the first day at T.H.E. Show in Newport, the scoop being passed from audiophile to audiophile was “MSB and YG Acoustics — […]
Melania Trump isn’t the only Slovenian export drawing attention this year. It turns out the country also is home to a high-end firm that makes speakers so beautiful they could share the runway with real […]
Back at RMAF 2013, I got to experience the MSB Analog DAC. It was their entry level DAC priced at $6995. 2 minutes into listening, it was clear…. I wanted to hear more and more of […]
DACs have been hot for a few years now and the rate of improvement seems to be at least constant, if not actually improving. Apart from the conversion methods themselves (commercial DAC chips), obscure chipsets from non-audio […]
by Rafe Arnott Wilson Audio makes speakers that remind me of Darth Vader. Since I’m a huge Star Wars fan, this is a very good thing, and every time I see a pair of Wilson’s […]
One of the most anticipated products of this show was MSB’s all new Select DAC. The company made a huge Asian tour before presenting it in the German kermesse, and expectations for what probably is […]
While I was enjoying the Athens show, my editor Scot was publishing a mini review of a full TIDAL Audio system with Contriva Diacera SE speakers (SE stands for “Special Edition”) paired with the Preos […]
