CAF 2014: Classic Audio remains classy, classic

August 2, 2014 Scot Hull 2

Filed Under: Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix. Classic Audio has been bringing the big Hartsfield homage speakers, like the T3.4 ($45k) shown here, in one iteration or another for longer than I’ve been “into” high-end audio. […]

CAF 2014: United Home Audio and the master tape experience

August 1, 2014 Scot Hull 1

Greg Beron of United Home Audio has been a fan and a supporter of PTA for far too long for his taste to not be questioned, but it’s his championing of two other brands that […]

CAF 2014: Sadurni Acoustics and the Big Red Horn of Wonder

August 1, 2014 Scot Hull 1

Everyone loves an odd couple. Felix Unger and Oscar Madison. Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett. Ed Norton and Courtney Love. Brooke Shields and The King of Pop. Horns and Class D amps. At first blush, […]

CAF 2014: Bricasti Design brings catapults, hurls insults at poor quality audio

July 31, 2014 Scot Hull 5

Brian Zolner of Bricasti Design has a good reason to be smiling. His new under $30k/pair (est.) 200wpc M28 mono amplifiers are simply outstanding. His M1 DAC has been sitting on top of the A+ […]

CAF 2014: Jack Palance back to show off otherworldly Daedalus, ModWright and WyWires system

July 31, 2014 Scot Hull 6

I make fun of Lou Hinkley for a couple of reasons. One, he has an excellent sense of humor. Two, he rarely shows it, preferring by far to phone in his amusement with just a […]

CAF 2014: Kanso Audio Furniture wants to be your beast of burden

July 30, 2014 Scot Hull 6

Aaron Hoffman’s Kanso Audio Furniture may well be the most high-tech audio racks out there. They’re also kind of stealthy. You wouldn’t notice, for example, that each shelf is a laminate of several different materials, […]

CAF 2014: Surreal Speakers gets a field coil and 24 subwoofers, The Hulk is impressed

July 30, 2014 Scot Hull Comments Off on CAF 2014: Surreal Speakers gets a field coil and 24 subwoofers, The Hulk is impressed

At CAF this year, Surreal Speakers was demonstrating that there’s really no such thing as too much bass. Generally, this is a message I can get behind. Doug Small was showing off the FC 2-12+12 […]

CAF 2014: Live Sound Designs makes the old new again and the crowd goes wild

July 29, 2014 Scot Hull 8

CAF 2014: The Voice That Is reaches for stars with TIDAL Audio, Bricasti and Aurender

July 29, 2014 Scot Hull 7

I’m pretty sure it’s a sign of old age when you start referring to your stories by number. Or maybe it’s just superior indexing? Ah, well. Anyway, audio story #1,287 is about Doug White at […]

CAF 2014: High Water Sound cleans my clock with Hørning, TW-Acustic and Tron-Electric

July 28, 2014 Scot Hull 4

Jeff Catalano is something of a legend on the audio show circuit, and may well be the only man I know of even more militantly pro-vinyl than Stereophile’s Michael Fremer. In fact, when the two […]

CAF 2014: Did BorderPatrol just smuggle a headphone amplifier into town?

July 26, 2014 Scot Hull 7

Capital Audiofest is currently underway, and I just snuck off for a quick update here. Yes, there’s going to be way more coming, but in the meantime, a teaser of a teaser. Brian Hunter and […]
