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 was having a serious déjà vu thing with the Sony Walkman all weekend. Every time I turned around, it seemed, I was making a comment about my old safety-yellow Walkman from 30 years ago. […]
Raymond Li of ADL beckoned me over the ADL table. I’m pretty sure he waggled his eyebrows when he said that the GT40 had just been updated (now called “GT40 Alpha”) — the ADC/DAC USB […]
The New York Audio Show say the launch of a new brand: Vinnie Rossi LIO. You’ll remember Vinnie from Red Wine Audio, the company that sells affordable, battery-powered, electronics that won all of those awards […]
Ah, New York. I love New York! I do. I do not, however, love driving to New York. Or flying to New York. The train? I’m so-so about the train. But driving? Bah. So, I […]
