PAF 2022

High End by Oz | PAF 2022

August 12, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on High End by Oz | PAF 2022

The High End by Oz room at the 2022 Pacific Audio Fest was the very last room I visited before I hopped in my car and drove home. (With a pair of speakers, a two […]

June 30, 2022 Grover Neville Comments Off on Acora Acoustics, Ampsandsound, Lampizator, Thrax, Audio Research, Dynavector | THE Show 2022

Regular readers will know by now that Dave McNair, myself and the rest of the PTA Team have an enormous amount of respect and appreciation for Acora Acoustics and founder Valerio Cora, who is perhaps […]

Grover’s Wrap-Up and Best of Show | T.H.E. SHOW 2021

July 8, 2021 Grover Neville 2

THE SHOW 2021 was, by my estimation, a reason for cautious optimism. Everything appeared to go off without a hitch, attendees were well-behaved and plentiful enough, and exhibitors seemed pleased by the amount and depth […]

Show Report

Audiovector, Thrax, Frank Schröder, Tom Evans, Antipodes, Weiss Engineering, Hemingway Audio | T.H.E. SHOW 2021

June 19, 2021 Grover Neville 2

After hearing Dave McNair rave about the Audiovector (website) loudspeakers (Dave’s review here), I knew a stop by their room was mandatory. Another dark room and a difficult photo-taking environment greeted me. A glorious sound […]

RMAF 2018: A Critical Eye

November 10, 2018 Editorial Staff 4

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, […]

Newport Beach 2016

Newport 2016: Kyron Audio and Döhmann get rid of the box

June 9, 2016 Rafe Arnott Comments Off on Newport 2016: Kyron Audio and Döhmann get rid of the box

I was skeptical about the abstract art posing as dipole loudspeakers that sat in front of me at T.H.E. Show in Newport Beach on Thursday afternoon. But that skepticism was soon to be put to […]

AXPONA 2016

AXPONA 2016: Thrax takes small to the max

April 23, 2016 John Stancavage Comments Off on AXPONA 2016: Thrax takes small to the max

It’s always a good sign when you approach an audio show room and the music sounds great just wafting out the door. Such was the case when I visited the Thrax-EnKlein-Audio Union setup on Sunday […]

RMAF 2015

RMAF 2015: Hi-Fi Imports takes Thrax to max

November 4, 2015 John Stancavage 1

I walked into the Hi-Fi Imports room at RMAF 2015, captivated by the sound of a National bottleneck guitar. I settled into a side seat and saw the vinyl record’s owner two seats away from […]

High End 2015

High End 2015: Rosso Fiorentino, Thrax, North Star and Bergmann

June 26, 2015 Panagiotis Karavitis Comments Off on High End 2015: Rosso Fiorentino, Thrax, North Star and Bergmann

When you think of Rosso Fiorentino speakers concepts like pricey, great sound and Italian artisanry come in mind. Now take the pricey part out of the equation but keep the artisan finish and melodic sound. […]

RMAF 2014

RMAF 2014: Thrax, Sutherland and EnKlein

November 8, 2014 Scot Hull Comments Off on RMAF 2014: Thrax, Sutherland and EnKlein

I like Dave Kleinbeck of EnKlein Cables. A lot. That dude is smart as hell and has a sense of humor rare in this industry. That is, he’s completely bent. That sort of combo needs […]

RMAF 2014 Roundup, Part 3: Big Rooms with Medium-sized Speakers

October 26, 2014 Scot Hull Comments Off on RMAF 2014 Roundup, Part 3: Big Rooms with Medium-sized Speakers

by Darryl Lindberg Aaudio: Lansche, Ypsilon, etc. I think this year’s Aaudio system, featuring the Lansche 5.1 ($50K) driven by Ypsilon electronics, was one of the best I’d heard from Brian Ackerman. In the previous […]
