Stereo Dave's Audio Alternative Custom Made Furutech Power Cord

Francisco Duran — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 21:46:07 +0000

Call it serendipity, a strange coincidence, or just plain chance, but when the power cords arrived from Stereo Dave's Audio Alternative for me to review, I was watching a video on YouTube from none other than Audioholics. Those familiar with that organization will know they are not supporters of high-end, high-priced audio cables whatsoever. One... Read More »

Whipped Cream and Other Delights by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass

Robert Pincus — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 16:20:41 +0000

Selecting an album which inspires me enough to write about it isn't easy. A lot of thoughts go through my mind, such as: Should I avoid an album because it's hard to find? Should I avoid an artist that few have heard of? And should I avoid an album if the sound quality is less... Read More »

Matrix Audio MP1 and MA1

John Hoffman — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 16:10:34 +0000

"Keep your voices down a little bit" is faintly heard in the background. This phrase is incredibly difficult to decipher in many systems, as it is located deeply in the background of the recording. "Then, a band member says"Oh I will tell you everything," and while it cannot be documented it is likely Christine McVie... Read More »

Monitor Audio Bronze 300 7G Loudspeakers

Malcolm J. Gomes — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 17:18:21 +0000

When I started reviewing high-end audio in the early 1980s, I was young, naïve and easily fascinated with the fast-evolving technologies in the audiophile speaker sphere. I drooled at state-of-the-art designs and the exotic materials used in the top-of-the-line models from the leading brands. I admired the people designing these models, which were, more often...

Aries Cerat Ithaka Minor DAC

Key Kim — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:40:23 +0000

My first encounter with the Aries Cerat was back in 2019 at the Munich High-End show. All I really remember was a truly magical experience—even under show conditions (noisy background, people coming in and out). The Aries Cerat system was very natural and analog sounding, surprisingly, I was listening to a digital set-up. Fast forward... Read More »

A Look at MoFi's Platinum Ultra Disc One-Step 180 Gram 2 LP Set of Bitches Brew

Juan C. Ayllon — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 15:31:07 +0000

Sometimes, the most improbable juxtaposition of musical styles, sounds, and textures just works and, when spotlit in breathtaking clarity, as with Mobile Fidelity's Platinum Ultra Disc One-Step version of Miles Davis's Bitches Brew, it's brilliant. When I was a child, my mother cooked and served our meals at home. Occasionally, some spillover occurred between the... Read More »

If you were buying music in the mid eighties, then you might remember when the music industry expected us to replace our records with "perfect sound forever" compact discs (CDs). Even though I own a lot of CDs, and I still buy them on occasion, few were ever purchased to replace the same title on... Read More »

Bob Levi: a moment. LAOC Gala Board Banquet, 2022 (Photograph and image processing by David W.

I first heard the now-acclaimed Parasound Halo JC1 amplifier during the January 2002 CES, though this soon-to-be-acclaimed amplifier was not officially available for purchase until March of 2003. But on that January day, the late Bob Crump had used four pre-production JC1s, a soon-to-be-acknowledged overachieving amplifier from renowned electronics designer John Curl, to drive a...

I attend CanJam SoCal almost every year, and always thoroughly enjoy it. The overall vibe at CanJam is so different when compared to typical audiophile shows.

When I moved to the Charleston, South Carolina area three years ago, I figured out something very quickly: the Low Country is a veritable wasteland when it comes to high-end audio—there's nothing here.
