Ideon Absolute Digital Suite; the Stream, Time, and Epsilon DAC Benchmark Performance from Greece My comprehensive findings on the astonishing Ideon Absolute Stream music server/streamer were published HERE last June. If you want an eye-opening […]
Words and Photos by Greg Weaver My first exposure to the world premiere of the $280,000/pair Børresen M3 loudspeakers at AXPONA in April, driven by the $70,000 each flagship Aavik C-880 linestage and P-880 amplifier, […]
There can be no question that my first exposure to the Mola Mola Lupe phono stage in April of this year left me more than merely impressed. In fact, you can see my initial reaction […]
After hearing the prototype of the Børresen X3 loudspeakers at last year’s Capital Audiofest, I’ve been more than mildly curious to give this little rascal a real test drive. Given my repeated exposure to the […]
I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the entire Magico voyage unfold. Well, once they went public that is. Yet the lead-up to that stage is also quite significant. In 1994, some decade before he founded […]
The VAC Statement Components: Breathing Life into Recordings At the outset, I hope it is understood just how fortunate I consider myself to have the honor, trust, and privilege of being asked to bring you […]
Just when it seems that Audio Group Denmark is aiming for the highest of the high-end when it comes to their flagship speakers, the $280,000/pr Børresen M3 and the $550,000/pr M6, they’ve gone back to […]
Julie Mullins, a Contributing Editor for Stereophile, interviewed Greg Weaver (The Audio Analyst), Michael Lavorgna (Twittering Machines), and our own illustrious Editor-in-Chief Marc Phillips for the new “Reviewers on Reviewing” seminar. The conversation, as you’d expect, […]
Does size matter? I think so, for the 9,115 audiophiles that descended upon the Renaissance Schaumberg Center in Chicago, April 14-16, 2023. The final press release from AXPONA states that there were 9,115 visitors over […]
This is the second year in a row that I’ve agreed to transport a pair of review speakers from the Pacific Audio Fest back to the house, and it’s the second time my Mazda CX-5 […]
I can still remember the first time I listened to the Audience ClairAudient 1 + 1 speakers. I can’t remember when and where exactly, but I do know it was a high-end audio show, and […]
If you look closely at this Mytek system at Munich 2024, you’ll note that it’s pretty much the same system as the one I covered last month at AXPONA 2024. You have the flagship Mytek […]
I’ve known Walter Swanbon of Fidelis AV and Fidelis Distribution for many years, and we usually see eye-to-eye on high-end audio brands. That’s why I’m especially glad to see JMF amplification in his exhibit rooms, […]
Oh gee, another photo of The Audio Company room with Von Schweikert speakers and VAC amps? Phillips must have gone to another high-end audio show. It’s true that I often kick off my show coverage […]
It was 1989 or 1990 when I first felt my pants legs flap in the wind created by a huge loudspeaker moving the air around. The speakers were Infinity IRS Betas, and the track was […]
On Sunday, the last day for High End 2024, I spent my time doing business–arranging for reviews, mostly, and connecting with prospective industry partners. One particularly gratifying moment involved introducing Doug White of The Voice […]
I was a little nervous about attending AXPONA 2024–last year’s high-end audio show in Chicago was a huge, successful show, but the PTA team had a difficult time in covering all of it. As the […]
Hyperbole alert: Munich Day 2 was one of those momentous days in the life of an audiophile, a day where I heard something that changes everything. But before we get to that point, a year […]
At Capital Audiofest 2019, Hi-Fi Journalist Greg Weaver joins The Audio Company, VAC, and VSA to play incredible-sounding music from his personal collection, after-hours, both Friday and Saturday nights. […]
I’ve made a few changes for the 2023 Product of the Year Awards. Usually I limit the nominees to products our team at PTA has reviewed over the year. That implies we have significant seat […]
