The lyrics from R. Kelly’s Fiesta were stuck in my head Sunday morning as I ran around CES because my friends lip-synched (with much body gyration, and soulful facial expressions) at maximum SPLs in front […]
The bruises were the color of a sunset, and spread across my upper back like a watercolor painting. I had noticed some marks first after showering on Friday morning, but by Saturday evening they were […]
Watch Dipinjeet Sehdev of KEF explain some of the key features of the new KEF LS50 Wireless in this short video above. The Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas, NV Bathed in the soft glow of morning […]
There comes a point when enough is enough. And that point came around 12:30 pm Friday afternoon, when after about three hours in what is known as the “South Hall” I had to flee the […]
A juicy tasting of MQA was experienced at T.H.E Show @ Newport on a Meridian Ultra DAC, and ever since we have anxiously awaited the arrival of more MQA content. The day has finally arrived…. At CES 2017, TIDAL announced […]
The Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada The elevator doors slid open and everyone looked at me with revulsion. I was used to it by now, it had happened twice already. It was because there […]
While Rafe and Brian are off wandering the aisles at CES, we got a note from Harman International. Mark Levinson, one of their premier audio brands, has decided to head back into the world of […]
VPI Industries president Mat Weisfeld woke me up today with news from the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey that the turntable manufacturer was releasing a new beast: The Avenger Plus at CES this week. […]
I was going to go. Then, I wasn’t going to go. Now, it’s official: I’m going to CES in Las Vegas. I’ve never been, so please Vegas, be gentle on me. I will be there […]
Before, after and during. That’s when I heave out the long sigh. An audio show — any audio show — wrings that out of me. But this year, CES was … different. Whinging For me, […]
There was a lot going on in the ENIGMAcoustics room at CES this year, from the marvelous Mythology M1 loudspeakers to the delightfully clever devices from Celsus Sound and Nuprime. What I was not expecting, however, was […]
I suppose that some of you, reading this, do in fact live under a rock or are otherwise sheltered from the world, and in so doing, have completely missed the hullabaloo around Neil Young’s high-resolution […]
Sandy Gross is a fine gentleman, and one of the few “old-school” manufacturers that is still out there innovating after 40 years. He was one of the Founding Fathers of Polk Audio, and when they […]
by Warren Chi Eight months ago, in the dead of night, my partner at Audio360 (and brother in life) Michael Mercer drove me to an undisclosed location. It was there that we had the opportunity to […]
Computer audio is hard. This is a gong I’ve beaten on before, so it really shouldn’t be surprising that I’m still hitting it. Hard, you say? What’s so hard about it? You just [insert list […]
I have a soft spot for the old Walkman brand. I carried one of the originals pretty much everywhere when I was a kid, and echoes of those painful, turbulent and largely destructive times echo […]
I am entirely suspicious of Twin Audio‘s Santy Oropel and Acoustic Zen‘s Robert Lee. Neither gentleman is exactly sporting Incredible Hulk physiques, yet someone had to move those massive speakers and equally massive amplifiers both […]
It was 9 p.m. Time to go and The Driver was ready. A quick shuffling. Half of us were pointed one way, the others went to the other car. DeVore had been rather deliberately vague. […]
Pass Laboratories doesn’t really “do” audio shows. Sure, you can find their amps at AXPONA, T.H.E. Show, RMAF and others. In fact, it’s damn near impossible to not find them at shows. But they don’t show up. That […]
