Here’s a novel way to deal with problematic audio show room-acoustics: don’t bring speakers. Instead, Woo Audio brought boatloads of headphones and amplifiers to power them. Tubes were everywhere! Music got served up off of […]
I could craft a silly word-play about it, but the fact is, I don’t really understand why it is that Sjofn Hifi’s (the clue) sounds so good. It just is. And at $999 a pair, […]
Back at RMAF 2011, I thrilled to the dynamics of the big $62,000 Affascinate SE-1 from Cessaro Horn Acoustics in the High Water Sound room. Here at the Waldorf, Jeff Catalano had his work cut […]
Mark Conti and Vytas Viesulas of Veloce Audio were on hand over the weekend to showcase their new, and newly refreshed, battery-powered product line. What’s new? Well, the LS-1 Linestage is new. That is, this […]
I’ve been a fan, and a customer, of the Cable Company for years. Online retailing at it’s very best, with great products and great service. One of the services they provide as a matter of […]

You can’t distill New York City. There is no single adjective that can capture the variety, the scope, the abundance or the smell. It’s the most human city in North America, and a visit there […]
So, I made it home alive. It was touch and go there, for a while. What moron drives to Manhattan? This moron. Sheesh. Getting in wasn’t a problem as I hit the city around 10pm […]
The New York Audio show starts in a couple of hours in the very posh Waldorf-Astoria hotel. This is a crazy hotel. It’s the size of a city block and feels like a castle on […]
If you’re an audiophile, next weekend will be a great time to be in New York. The New York Audio Show is coming to the Waldorf Astoria. Check out the show info over at the […]
