New Album Releases Project 2020-2-16

NARP, the New Album Releases Project, got its start at NAR, New Album Releases, and back then – January 17, 2018, I had no idea that it would evolve into a project and be still going strong just about two years later. A proper backgrounder can be read here: https://www.dagogo.com/what-is-nar/ In light of NARP’s longevity [...]

CanJam NYC 2020: HEDDphone and Final Audio

I’m always telling floorspeaker people how headphones “eliminate the sound of the room,” but laughingly the big jabbering-people-filled room at CanJam NYC’s Marriot Marquis gets so loud by noon – it penetrated even the most perfect fitting IEMs.

8K TV lineup will cater to 'all needs and spaces,' says Samsung – while 4K begins at 43in

QLED maker confirms 8K sets from 55in to 98in, and introduces new soundbar range for 'music lovers', at its annual product forum...

Joanne Polk: Louise Farrenc Etudes & Variations for Solo Piano

Our good audio brother John Marks, he who shepherds his site, The Tannhauser Gate, sends along another smoke signal about a fine recording of a nowadays-obscure composer, Louise Farrenc. I have not yet found a single recommendation of John's that wasn't very worthwhile. To borrow and adapt John's phrasing, "pause and listen." Amen! Dr. David... Read More »

Manley Absolute Headphone Amplifier Review

The name Manley has been legendary in audiophile and professional audio circles for many years now, and I recall my dad lusting after VTL and Manley high-powered tube gear when I was younger, not just because of its sound, but also because it was expensive. But, not so expensive that it was totally out of reach for the average Joe who saved their pennies.

CanJam NYC 2020: The Intro

I didn’t go, but I heard about it. Jude Mansilla’s first ever national Head-Fi meet was in New York City 2006. I remember because one of my friends went and came home raving about “inner ear monitors” by Jerry Harvey. I was like . . . “What the hell is an inner ear monitor?” And, “Are you kidding me? People actually get together to listen to headphones?”

Painting, Music, And The Language Of Sound Reproduction

Painting, Music, And The Language Of Sound Reproduction
Creating a connection between the performer and the listener.

The following is the first of a series of think pieces on audio reproduction. This one focuses on the relationship between the language we employ in discussing and evaluating paintings and how certain terms that are important in the lexicon of the visual arts like 'tonal pallet,' 'resolution' and 'reproduction' can help us better understand what we should seek in a first rate audio playback system. All the pieces are speculative in nature and are intended to stimulate discussion and not to be the final word on the subject. They are the result of years of experience and reflection, but are likely fundamentally flawed; and even where they are not flawed, the claims made are often quite controversial. I am not running away from their controversial nature.

EgglestonWorks Nico Evolution Loudspeakers

The year was 1997. I was in seventh grade, and had recently begun asking my older brother for his copies of Stereophile. He’d always talked about buying a pair of Wilson Audio Specialties’ famed WATT/Puppys, and having heard his system, I was eager to see what hi-fi audio was all about. Reviewed in the October 1997 issue, however, was a loudspeaker that would shift the spotlight -- if only for moment -- away from the super-high-end’s perennial heavyweight champ.
