New York 2014: Volti, quoth the Raven, Evermore
I don’t really need to be a millionaire, I just want to be one. I think of that difference as subtle, and one that ought to get much smaller than it is currently. I mean, not that […]

I’m not sure where it happened, or when, but somewhere along the way, I became a fan of David Cope. I suppose he’d cringe to see that written down, but it’s true. He’s been very […]
New-to-me manufacturer Bache Audio was showing off a new wide-band loudspeaker, which I’m pretty sure was the 001AB, an active-crossover model designed for use with SET amplifiers. The 001AB ($9,945/pair) is a powered speaker with […]
Gershman Acoustics is a brand I’ve been following for years. Visually, the speakers are arresting and a little on the avant-garde side of the design spectrum, but sonically, these little buggers can jump. Shown here was […]
“There was something about this room …” is what I heard, repeatedly, in reference to the all-GamuT room, put together by local NJ dealer Woodbridge Stereo. Something …. Maybe it was the speakers, the new […]
Ah, Hegel, let me count the ways …. Hegel Audio may or may not be named for the (in)famous 19th century philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. As some of you may or may not know, […]
Audioengine is the brand that seems to be single-handedly making the bridge between personal audio and high-end audio, and doing it in a way that’s not only awesome sounding, it’s not bank-breaking. And for that, […]
I’ve been looking forward to meeting Lukasz Fikus of LampizatOr for a good while now, and catching up to him at the New York Show was really nifty. Unfortunately, I also caught up to him […]
I might have caught Dan Clark of MrSpeakers a bit early Saturday morning (as in, while he was setting up), but he was gracious enough to let me cycle through two of his awesome headphones, the […]
Next door to the main Woo Audio room was another setup, this time featuring the big WA-234 mono blocks configured for stereo speakers and driving a pair of Minis from Oswald Mills Audio. OWA has been […]
Wes Bender is a fantastic photographer and he’s way more meticulous about it than I am. He’s shown me some of this work — specifically, the G-rated product stuff — and told me about the […]
Mytek Digital‘s long awaited upscale “audiophile” DAC offering, the Manhattan, is now ready for prime time. Shown here is the final case work, and boy-howdy, is it a beauty. $4,995 will net you, yours. So, […]
Master & Dynamic was showing off a pair of their new headphones — both on-ear and over-ear, dangling over an ALO Studio Six that was completely and somewhat inexplicably trapped under plexiglass. Following their May […]
I’m still scratching my head a little bit about the system I saw and heard in New Jersey’s Care Audio room at the New York Show. 10 years from now, I might still be there, scratching […]
My buddy Michael Liang of Woo Audio ushered me right over to the lucite case. “See?” he said. “We’re going portable.” In the case was a blank, a white plastic mock-up of what might someday be called […]
One of the few New York City dealers that chose to show here at the New York Audio Show, Stereo Exchange, brought the entry-level Devialet 120 integrated amplifier ($6,495) and a pair of Totem Acoustics […]
In what turned out to be a rather ironic moment, I was flipping through Facebook this morning and saw that Art Dudley had visited High Water Sounds‘ Jeff Catalano’s demo room at the New York […]
I’ve been a big fan of the King Sound electrostatic headphones since I first laid eyes on them back at AXPONA this year. The look of the entire lineup, from the $550 KS-H2 through the […]
You gotta love Madison-Fielding. These guys are newcomers to the audiophile show circuit, and each time they demo, I have to chuckle. I mean, aside from all the pot-jokes (most of which are told by […]
I got a chance to meet NY audio dealer (and PTA sponsor) Shayne Tenace of Tenace Audio at this year’s New York show, and happily for me, Shayne brought along some new speakers from Italian […]
