This week’s episode of our HiFi podcast covers off on the big (and getting bigger) East Coast audiofest 2023. Recorded live from the source in DC, The Occasional Podcast features the observational musings of host […]
Paperclips, carabiners, and plumbing are just some of the things I have heard people call Zoltan Bayz’s (Pronounced Bay-ze) $160k Counterpoint 2.0 speakers. The Bayz Audio speakers are definitely a unique shape, something to start […]
With fresh ears and our bellies full of Grover Neville’s and my new favorite café, Teamania, we tackled CAF Day Three, the final day. I definitely had some rooms I wanted to visit that I […]
For Graig Neville’s CAF Day One Coverage, click here. And now for CAF Day Two: On CAF Day Two, I found that Fidelity Imports commandeered a large chunk of the sixth floor making it easy […]
What is day four, you might be asking yourself? Capital Audio Fest 2023 takes place on a Friday-Sunday schedule open to the public. Well, if you regularly follow our coverage of audio shows, you might […]
Who doesn’t love big speakers in a big room? If one has a big room, big speakers must naturally follow. At least, that was the mentality I sourced from my walks in, around and though […]
The weather tightened up a bit for the second day of Capital Audiofest 2023 in Rockville, MD. My commute over to the Hilton wasn’t marred by any water falling from above, but rather graced by […]

Our good friends at Triode Wire Labs cables, BorderPatrol amplification and Volti Audio speakers attend nearly every high-end audio show in the US, which is hard work. Their motto, however, displayed on the wall, is […]

Like my recent attendance at the Toronto audio show, I didn’t go to the 2022 Capitol Audiofest on an official show report mission for Part-Time Audiophile. I went to have some fun and laughs with […]
“They’re going to sell a ton of these.” This was my initial reaction to what I heard once the music started. I say this, because I think I have a grasp on the market at […]
Last year we were blown away by the NOLA Champ S3 speakers that Marc Phillips later reviewed, and also in our report from Capital Audiofest 2021. Reporting by Eric Franklin Shook This year, it’s the all […]
