My Mactone (website) adventure started last year at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, when I went to visit my good friend Bob Clarke of Profundo. He brought a pair of Trenner & Friedl Osiris loudspeakers, […]
After arranging to review the PS Audio Stellar phono preamplifier, I realized that the first time and only time I’ve reviewed a PS Audio product was way back in 2008, when the GCPH phono stage […]
[Editor: We are re-posting John DeVore’s column from The Occasional No. 6 on the Part-Time Audiophile website. To read the original article and other great content from The Occasional, click here.} Omega’s Innovative Followup to […]
I’ve had a lot of recent seat time with MartinLogan, McIntosh and AudioQuest. I just finished a review of the MartinLogan 35XTi monitors with the Dynamo 800X subwoofer, which should be published soon. I just […]
In my coverage of Eikon Audio, I noted how I failed to recognize audio legend Gayle Sanders when he first approached me. I did the same exact thing in the ModWright Instruments and EgglestonWorks room […]
Every time I visit a high-end audio show room with Stenheim loudspeakers, I mention how I’m trying to get a pair in for review–specifically, the Alumine 2 bookshelf speakers ($11,950). I’ve heard these Swiss speakers, […]
Our friends at Sonus Faber have informed us that today, February 12, marks the debut of their brand new subwoofer–the Sonus Faber Gravis III! Here’s a snip from the press release: “The New Gravis III is […]
My Saturday highlights for FLAX 2020 start off with the fact that I haven’t seen much of Tampa during my visit–except what I can view from my 14th floor hotel room. I can barely see […]
Before I discuss the McIntosh MCD600 SACD/CD player, I have to tell a story. Just a couple of weeks ago I overhead a conversation between two audiophiles who were discussing the continued role of compact […]
I’ve just finished my review on the massive and beautiful Fern and Roby equipment rack for the upcoming Winter Issue of The Occasional, and just hours after I submitted the article for layout I received […]
I came up with the idea of Christmas Short Takes, or “short takes” in general, when I realized I had a lot of shorter recordings (EPs, 7″ singles, wtc.) sitting in the pile, waiting to […]
I originally intended for this review of the Linear Tube Audio Z10 integrated amplifier to be sort of a mini-review in conjunction with the Fern & Roby Raven loudspeakers since I was scheduled to only […]
I’ve been looking forward to the Fern & Roby Listening Room Open House event for most of the year, pretty much since Eric Franklin Shook and I visited the factory back in the spring and […]
Overture Audio Home Theater brought a surprisingly sophisticated system to the 2019 Capital Audiofest–surprising since all this amazing gear was featured in one of the smaller rooms upstairs and not in a downstairs conference room. […]
As I mentioned, the Fern and Roby Raven loudspeakers were featured in two separate rooms at the 2019 Capital Audiofest–in that very special room with ModWright Instruments amplification, and this room with a more familiar […]
Part-Time Audiophile has been covering Daedalus Audio high-efficiency loudspeakers for years, but I’ve only listened to them once before–at last year’s Capital Audiofest. The Daedalus Audio room was the very first room I covered at […]
I thought a 2019 Capital Audiofest preview from me was necessary, since so many products featured at the show are being reviewed (or have been reviewed) by both Part-Time Audiophile and The Occasional. This is […]
My adventures with the Fern & Roby Raven loudspeakers started last year, right before I left my house in Western New York to drive down to the Capital Audiofest in the suburbs of Washington DC. […]
The Lab12 Melto2 phono preamplifier reminded me of how I sometimes get really excited about trying new outboard phono stages—and this is from a guy whose first article about phono preamps was dismissively titled “Little […]
I made a joke to a fellow show attendee when I entered the Parasound and Tekton room at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and I saw the massive, almost phone booth-size Tekton Moab speakers. […]
