The Vinyl Anachronist

The High-End Audio Dealer and You | The Vinyl Anachronist

October 29, 2021 Marc Phillips 7

Just a few days ago we received an email from a grateful reader that brought up an important subject: the high-end audio dealer. I’ve seen these emails dozens of times before, where the reader tells […]

Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO Turntable and TA-5000 Tonearm | REVIEW

September 12, 2021 Dave McNair 3

Does anyone really NEED a $34,000 turntable/arm/cartridge setup like the Acoustic Signature Typhoon NEO, TA-5000 and Acoustical Systems Palladium? Well, of course not! Okay, let me qualify and rephrase that. If someone is a serious […]

AudioQuest GroundGoody Jupiter and Saturn Tonearm and Ground Wire | REVIEW

May 28, 2021 Marc Phillips 3

I thought that the AudioQuest GroundGoody ground wire was going to be, by far, the simplest of these new earthing products I’ve set out to review. After spending time with the Nordost QKORE grounding system, […]

AXPONA 2019

CH Precision, Goebel and TechDAS | AXPONA 2019

April 27, 2019 Lee Scoggins 1

Let’s set the stage for this second show report from Axpona; this show was fantastic and overwhelming at the same time.  Indeed, Part-Time Audiophile had five (!) writers there and I don’t believe any of […]

AXPONA 2018

AXPONA 2018: The MUST SEE Rooms of Day Three

April 18, 2018 Eric Franklin Shook 1

High End 2017: TechDAS impresses in the Vivid – CH room

June 22, 2017 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on High End 2017: TechDAS impresses in the Vivid – CH room

  The TechDAS demo was among the salient moments of the entire show. You were in Munich but you’ve skipped it? You can turn off your browser now, you won’t enjoy finding out what you […]

LAAS 2017

LA Audio Show 2017: Welcome to the Jungle

June 1, 2017 Rafe Arnott 5

I strung together a long list of swear words and shook my suitcase helplessly. I was tired, and in no mood to be tested by an insubordinate piece of luggage. I had arrived at my hotel room […]

AXPONA 2017

AXPONA 2107: Kyomi, On a Higher Note go back to 1947 with Vivid, Jadis

May 4, 2017 John Stancavage Comments Off on AXPONA 2107: Kyomi, On a Higher Note go back to 1947 with Vivid, Jadis

Kyomi Audio and On a Higher Note combined the old and the new to produce alluring sound — and spooky time travel — in their demo room at AXPONA. First off, in the old category, […]

RMAF 2106: Vivid’s Giya G3 Turns Heads With Kyomi, On a Higher Note

November 8, 2016 John Stancavage 3

I have a confession: I started an emotional affair with the Vivid Audio Giya G3 after meeting her and her twin at several recent audio shows. But like most new girlfriends, I was attracted by […]

Newport Beach 2016

Newport 2016: Einstein masters energy, matter

July 16, 2016 John Stancavage Comments Off on Newport 2016: Einstein masters energy, matter

I thought about starting this report on Einstein Audio Components with some would-be snappy play on the company’s name, such as “Einstein really did its math in Newport,” or T.H.E. Show = MC2 for Einstein.” […]

AXPONA 2016

AXPONA 2016: Lyn Stanley puts Kyomi Audio system to the ultimate test

April 30, 2016 John Stancavage 2

It’s not often you attend an audio show demo where a song’s actual singer shows up for an impromptu live versus Memorex moment. Just such an unlikely event has happened to me twice in the […]

RMAF 2015: TechDAS adds muscle with Air Force Two, joins forces with Einstein, Graham Engineering and Audiomachina

October 30, 2015 Rafe Arnott Comments Off on RMAF 2015: TechDAS adds muscle with Air Force Two, joins forces with Einstein, Graham Engineering and Audiomachina

TechDAS need to get Harrison Ford to star in their sequel to Air Force One. Let’s be original and call it Air Force Two. This turntable is a behemoth, and with the Graham Engineering Phantom […]

High End 2015: CH Precision, Vivid Audio, TechDAS

June 20, 2015 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on High End 2015: CH Precision, Vivid Audio, TechDAS

Some companies do not simply “show up” at Munich High End, they try to dominate the show. Some, like CH Precision, present more than one amazing room — they presented their line of electronics with Stenheim, Wilson Benesch […]

High End 2015

High End 2015: Blumenhofer, Einstein, TechDAS

June 15, 2015 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on High End 2015: Blumenhofer, Einstein, TechDAS

Pairing a huge 16” woofer with a compression tweeter usually leaves a gap in the crucial mid frequencies but Blumenhofer Acoustics managed to get things right. The Genuin FS1 mk2 pairs the woofer with a […]

Newport 2014: TechDAS and the Phantom Elite push quite a few envelopes

June 26, 2014 Scot Hull 4

TechDAS splashed across the radar with their Air Force One mega turntable, a tour-de-force vinyl system which clocked in at condo prices (aka, somewhere around $100k), and that was before you’ve invested in a tonearm or […]
