With fresh ears and our bellies full of Grover Neville’s and my new favorite café, Teamania, we tackled CAF Day Three, the final day. I definitely had some rooms I wanted to visit that I […]

Compared with last year’s High End in Munich, where I was in a perpetual state of solving huge problems in order to continue with my coverage and ultimately get back home in one piece, this […]
You might think I’m saving the best for last when I talk about the TIDAL Audio Contriva G3 and Piano G3 loudspeakers. Or maybe second best, since nothing could possibly be better than listening to […]

Hyperbole alert: Munich Day 2 was one of those momentous days in the life of an audiophile, a day where I heard something that changes everything. But before we get to that point, a year […]
This is my third High End Munich show, but this is the first time I actually attended on the first day–Thursday. Not Friday, but Thursday. It’s my fault–I’m used to Friday/Saturday/Sunday high-end audio shows. But […]
It’s that time of year again, time for Schweinshaxe and Weißwurst and currywurst and unfiltered brown ales. It’s time for High End 2023 in Munich, the world’s largest high-end audio show! I’ll be at High End […]

Like my recent attendance at the Toronto audio show, I didn’t go to the 2022 Capitol Audiofest on an official show report mission for Part-Time Audiophile. I went to have some fun and laughs with […]
Doug White of The Voice That Is! was exhibiting entirely with products that are new for 2022. Firstly, the new TIDAL Audio Contros Digital Controller ($60,000 USD) and Piano G3 ($60,000 USD as shown) loudspeakers, […]

What is TIDAL for Bugatti? That was the big question for us at Part-Time Audiophile when we first heard that TIDAL Audio of Germany would be coming out with a new line, TIDAL for Bugatti, […]
As I write this, High End 2022 in Munich has just ended. I originally intended to start coverage today, but there’s a small problem. I have to get home first. From a high-end audio show […]
