I can still remember vividly when I met Paul de Benedictis of the pro audio company CEntrance. It was near the end of a Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in 2012...
Affordable giant-killing Phono Stage from Sutherland Engineering. Revolutionary Transimpedance amplification for Moving Coil cartridges only.
Ron Sutherland indulged me with a review sample of the now-famous Little Loco phono stage last fall, just as I was getting ready to move house.
Desktop Headphone Amplifier from Astell&Kern. Beautiful headphone amp with a sophisticated DAC implementation that delivers beautiful music.
One look at the L1000 from Astell & Kern and you would know immediately why I requested one for review. This company, known for some of the best high end sound available in portables as well as beautiful designs must have had an itch to apply those skills to something a little larger.
Big and easy step into audiophilia. From a consumer electronics point of view, and probably no other, things seem to be getting better. Easy setup and use, completely engaging sonics.
I get a lot of friends through my listening room, which is mostly full of Simaudio equipment, with speakers by Daedalus and a Nottingham turntable.
Telluride attendance is still going strong, even in the ultra-expensive “Patron-Pass” category. However, even with a swell in the numbers of Patrons, who enter the theaters ahead of all others, we had little trouble getting into the movies we wanted to see.
About to embark on the 8 hour drive from Boulder to Telluride, for many folks close to me, this is their indication that Labor Day is here. The film lineup is still secret as of this writing, it should start drifting out on the web about a day before ‘The Show’ which...
Another Sundance is in the can. I’m finding them more and more enjoyable, probably because I know what to expect. As this was the 9th time we’ve gone to cold Park City, UT in January, we have some ideas about how to navigate.
We arrived in Park City, UT for the 35th Sundance Film Festival a day ahead of the first screenings but the process of getting tickets began about a month before. The multi-step process involves lotteries for time-slots-to-buy at which time you’ll see that...
State of the art phono preamplifier, beautiful to look at, beautiful to listen to.
In the intro for the 2015 Telluride Film Festival I wrote about how Aretha Franklin was suing to stop the presentation of the performance-documentary “Amazing Grace”. I’m happy to cut and paste that information into this year’s intro. We were shocked to see that it was on the schedule...
Nifty little DAC that can drive any headphone and lift any computer audio to upper realms of hifi.
Rick has been into audio ever since 9th grade when he commandeered a Pioneer receiver and Celestion speakers that his dad received in trade for a rusty station wagon. The stereo's original owner was forced into the deal by his newly pregnant wife. Hopefully that kid was re-exposed to hifi at a later date. Rick went on to make many extravagant stereo and home theater purchases of his own, not to mention LP's, CD's and DVD's. All financed by Rick's job as an engineer and engineering manager deep in the computer industry (ASIC design). When he's not listening or watching he might be working on the next screenplay for GenerosityFilms or painting.
