RMAF 2015: Lee’s Best
It is quite difficult to single out the best products given that there are so many great products on demo at RMAF every year. So I’m going to cheat a little and mention a couple […]

Every year, I plan to wrap RMAF coverage up early. Every year, it goes later and later. It’s because I’m cursed. But this year, we were able to pile it pretty high and deep. 90 […]
Best Room Picking Tone Imports as my top choice for Best Room in Denver for me was easy because it was run by two people whose ears I implicitly trust, whose taste runs parallel to […]
by Darryl Lindberg Best room: High Water Sound To my way of thinking, the “best room” award must encompass not only the sound, but the overall environment. Is this someplace you go to enjoy listening […]
I’m sure this is not the Denver RMAF 2015 wrap-up that anybody wants, but too bad, this what you’re getting…. I’d had too much coffee. I could literally feel my blood pounding behind my slightly-bulging […]
Yet again, Channel D had an excellent sounding room at RMAF. Dr Rob Robinson is always a favorite stop; he’s one of the nicest guys in audio. Mark Block, Rob’s frequent audio show sidekick, is also great conversationalist, […]
Muraudio was a completely new name to me at this year’s Rocky Mountain show, but I was pulled in to the room due to some truly beautiful midrange. Much like the MBL speakers that use 360 degree radiating […]
I know, I know … readers will be all up in my business because Scot Hull already covered off this room more than a month ago, but after consulting with the Hull-ster he said “WTF?, […]
by Darryl Lindberg Why do seemingly normal people design, manufacture, and invest in all the electro-mechanical wizardry that’s on display at the RMAF? If you’re stumped by that question, well here’s the answer: so we […]
Sometimes a pairing will surprise you. For example, when I passed the Brodmann Acoustics room that was prominently displaying the massive T1610 output-tube equipped KR Audio Kronzilla SX 50-watt stereo amplifier, the last speaker I […]
Bob Marley is good right? And King Tubby… God I love that early Dancehall/Dub/Reggae vibe, those sound system battles in Kingston back in the day that spread to the States in the late ’70s and […]
There’s no mistaking Jeff Rowland Design Group products. For years they’ve sported his trademark impressively thick, artfully machined aluminum faceplates. But the units always have been more than audio jewelry, producing some of the best […]
While some speaker manufacturers develop ever-smaller models to try to fit into the “lifestyle” market, at Legacy Audio the rallying cry after three decades still is pretty much “go big or go home.” Legacy typically […]
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Pete Riggle is a bit of a legend in the tonearm industry for his contribution to easy VTA adjustment for owners of Rega tonearms. And since […]
Victor Kung is a sweet, soft spoken guy, who hails from my hometown of Vancouver (OK, it’s really COQUITLAM), British Columbia. He is VK Music, and you should check out his gear. It’s just some […]
Simplicity is beauty to this humble audiophile. And the Well Tempered Labs Amadeus GTA is nothing if not simplicity. I’m an aesthetic snob, I make no apologies for having a certain taste and being turned […]
Many of you may not be familiar with Pacific Northwest rap lyricist Anthony Ray, better known as Sir Mix-a-Lot, but I’m going to invoke one of his better-known ditties to help convey how I feel […]
I must have been 30 when I first ran across B&W’s 800 Series loudspeakers. It was at a beach house, of all things. A rental. My new father-in-law had invited all the kids/spouses/grand-kids to the […]
Hitting the CanJam at RMAF is a highlight for me, and an instant reminder of the health and vibrancy of (at least one corner) of the high-end audio industry. This year, there were too many […]
I walked into the Hi-Fi Imports room at RMAF 2015, captivated by the sound of a National bottleneck guitar. I settled into a side seat and saw the vinyl record’s owner two seats away from […]
