It’s not often that a brand – no matter the industry – declares they’re closing shop only to come back down the road. When it does occur, one of two things have (usually) happened. Either they’re under new management or the public sentiment is so strong that it’s simply inevitable. The latter is exactly what […]

Have you ever accidentally stumbled onto a band you liked because of the album artwork? This is a perfect example of that for me – I had never heard of Mt. Joy before crossing paths with their self-titled album back in 2018. After the smashing hit that was their debut album, I found myself wondering

It’s been an exciting last month or so. Some would think that an international pandemic (in the form of COVID) would slow down the release of new products, but instead it seems to have had the opposite effect. On the same front, I can easily say that the next few months will be incredibly exciting

It should be no mystery by now that I’m an avid fan of the TDA1541 monolithic D/A Converter. Despite its inability to keep up with the latest and greatest in absolute resolution, it still manages to impress due to (what people describe as) its innate musicality.

It seems like with every album, he has tried out something new while refining what he already knows. Speaking of change and

In recent years, it’s become ever apparent that vacuum tubes have become a topic of much contention in the audio world. The primary driver behind this, in my opinion, is the rising popularity of “data driven audiophiles” as I like to call them. I would, in fact, put myself in partially in this group as
Let’s talk about Vacuum Tubes (and why I love them) Read More »
Vacuum tubes are all the rage these days. Just like the resurgence in vinyl, new music lovers are finding themselves entranced by the sound (and glow) of tubes. I have to say I completely understand, since I too love their sound. For most new buyers though who aren’t ready to drop serious cash on today’s

Hey there everyone. As some of you have (maybe?) noticed, my posts have slowed as of late. This isn’t due to a lack of interest, but rather real life getting in the way. Recently, we just welcomed our second kid into the world and she’s been a handful to say the least. Little did I
