I believe this is the third time I’ve reported on the combination of BorderPatrol, Volti Audio and Triode Wire Labs in the last few months, so you’d think I’d have a handle on the sound […]
I had to chuckle a little to myself when Volti Audio rolled out what it described as its “compact” loudspeaker at the Los Angeles Audio Show. Calling the new model small, however is kind of […]
The inaugural Los Angeles Audio Show opened Friday with the wall-rattling whoosh of a troubled spaceship, a bus rocking with the latest mobile audio and a turntable levitating an inch or two off its base. […]
Given that I’d just completed reviews on two of the main products/lines in this room here at AXPONA (BorderPatrol SE DAC and some selections from the Triode Wire Labs cable loom), I figured I’d better […]
I heard, almost by chance, that Greg Roberts of Volti Audio had snuck into CAF with a brand new prototype that he’s calling “Rival”. Rival, that is, to the big brother “Vittora”. If that $25,000 […]
Vinnie Rossi and his enthusiasm for great music being cranked to triple-digit dBs is infectious. How could it not be? Rossi is always laughing, smiling, and always willing to throw on whatever LP or digital […]
My first AXPONA was five years ago in Atlanta. It was about as far from 2016 as you can get. Then, there was something like 20 rooms. Five years later, and the difference is almost […]
Best Sound Cost-no-object system: Wilson Alexx, driven by Doshi tube amps (Paragon/Wilson Audio room). Neutral, effortless and jaw-dropping sound, combined with realistic weight, solidity and image height. $150,000 to $200,000 system: Sonus Faber Lilium speakers […]
John’s Take Before I started hanging around with the motley crew that makes up the Part-Time Audiophile staff, I hadn’t heard much about Volti Audio. But it seemed evening conversations at many shows ultimately led […]
Every year, I plan to wrap RMAF coverage up early. Every year, it goes later and later. It’s because I’m cursed. But this year, we were able to pile it pretty high and deep. 90 […]
Bob Marley is good right? And King Tubby… God I love that early Dancehall/Dub/Reggae vibe, those sound system battles in Kingston back in the day that spread to the States in the late ’70s and […]
If I could afford it, the Volti Audio Vittora system would be the one that would anchor my sanctum sanctorum. At $25k, for the two speakers and a matching subwoofer, that’s not likely to happen soon, […]
Some last-minute wrangling saw Greg Roberts of Volti Audio decide to make the trek to this year’s Capital Audiofest down from Benton, Maine — and this year, he brought some tube-gear from McIntosh Labs to […]
Josh already spilled his enthusiasm all over the floor about the big room featuring Volti Audio‘s speakers. Nobody should be surprised by this. I suspect that the sound in that room represented the Platonic […]
by Joshua Emmons This being my first audio show, the stated intention of the Part-Time Audiophile folks is to throw me into the deep end. I’d say the Volti Audio room certainly qualifies. My experience […]
Greg Roberts of Volti Audio sent me a set of his brand-new headphone stands ($149 each). Headphone guys wouldn’t have any real reason to know about Volti Audio, or my love affair with his giant […]
Chances are, you have an opinion about passive line stages, though in terms of “burning questions”, this particular polarizer seems to have dimmed a bit in recent years. The issue, at least as I can […]
Greg Roberts of Volti Audio and Gary Dews of BorderPatrol have been teaming up to educate me on the joys of low-power/high-efficiency systems. The problem, I’m finding, is adjusting to the fact that most audio systems […]
