Sometimes I think about the role of the chassis in high-end audio design, especially when I’m confronted with components such as The Black Swan phono preamplifier and The Black AMP headphone amplifier from Austin Audio […]
I really wanted to review some amplification with 300B tubes. I’ve been listening to some of my writers over the last couple of years, reviewers who have been vocal in their adoration of this DHT, […]
Hot on the heels of reviewing the impressive Triangle Antal 40th Anniversary loudspeaker, I had to look up the rest of this French speaker manufacturer‘s product lines. The flagship line is known as Magellan, and […]
I’ve been told on multiple occasions by numerous people that when it comes to holiday gifts, I’m notoriously “tough to buy for.” Nonsense! I’m an audiophile! I have a million things I want, and I […]
Welcome to 2024’s Best Hi-Fi Accessories from the Part-Time Audiophile Buyers Guide for 2024. We’re not saying that these are the “best” hi-fi accessories or that these choices somehow overrule anyone else’s favorites. We’re saying […]
Welcome to 2024’s Best Cables, Power Management and Grounding from the Part-Time Audiophile Buyers Guide. We’re not saying that these are the “best” cables, power management and grounding devices or that these choices somehow overrule […]
The French are people of passion – their food, wine, art, and cars…okay, maybe not their cars. But the rest of it points to a culture of passion and artistry. So, when I had the […]
What am I doing reviewing two GoldenEar subwoofers, the $900 ForceField 30 and the $1,750 SuperSub X? I’ve never been known as a subwoofer audiophile, even though I may be known as a two-way monitor […]
One of these days, Part-Time Audiophile publisher Scot Hull is going to send me that pair of Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a Gold Badges he’s commandeered for most of 2023. That’s my speaker, I thought. I’m the […]
We listened to the new GoldenEar T66 loudspeakers in Munich earlier in the year, and we were impressed with their stunning low frequency performance–especially coming from such a slim and appealing floorstanding enclosure. Here’s the […]
AudioQuest has just announced the new AudioQuest PowerQuest power conditioners, which are a more affordable version of the Niagara power conditioners that PTA reviewers such as Marc Phillips and Graig Neville use in their reference […]
I’ve made a concerted effort not to dwell on the country of origin of many of my review components over the last year or so. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen reviewers go a little overboard, […]
This review of several models of AudioQuest XLR interconnects has taken a long time–well over a year, in fact. At first I wanted to discuss XLR interconnects on a bigger scale, including other brands such […]
I invited Diana Krall into my listening room, and she was gracious enough to send her simulacrum through the Bowers and Wilkins 703 S3. Not the B&W 703 S3, mind you, but Bowers and Wilkins. […]
What follows is not a typical audio review of the Naim Uniti Atom, or, of anything really. Just want to be clear. All of this is me trying to solve a problem. A peculiar problem. […]
I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the entire Magico voyage unfold. Well, once they went public that is. Yet the lead-up to that stage is also quite significant. In 1994, some decade before he founded […]
I meant to include the Furutech NCF interconnects as part of a big XLR interconnect comparo that included Cardas and AudioQuest. Over time, I had to break the review up because a) I don’t like […]
The Musical Fidelity M8s PRE preamplifier is one of the biggest and heaviest preamplifiers I’ve had the pleasure of using–which seems unusual since the price is only $4,999. When I maneuvered the box into my […]
Welcome to the Hi-Fi Accessories section of the Part-Time Audiophile Buyers Guide for Summer 2023. The Guide is more than “We heartily endorse this [fill in the blank].” This collection represents our enthusiasm. Every product […]
