An oft talked about album, John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme is regularly mentioned in the top 10 of best jazz albums of all time. While I have mixed feelings about it myself, I do understand the sentiment. It wasn’t until hearing it on lacquer that I truly understood though – there is an emotion that […]

If I had known Jack’s music prior to purchasing this lacquer, there’s a very real chance I wouldn’t have done it. But damn am I glad that I did, because there was so much emotion in his singing that he made a fan out of me. For a full review, you can watch my video.

Okay, it’s hard to say at this point that I don’t believe in lacquers as I’m not the proud owner of over a dozen of them. That said, when Burmester announced their Pure Sound series for the eye watering $900(!!!!), I debated internally for quite a long time over whether it was worth the purchase

When I ordered my first lacquer, I’ll be completely honest that it was due to an off-the-wall dare from one of my friends. Little did I know that it would turn into a small obsession. If I had to use one word to describe the Gregory Porter release, it would be “life-like”. It is undoubtedly

For those in the know, I am a rather big Double Bass enthusiast. Call me biased since I play the instrument myself, but it’s totally better than the cello in every way possible. Growing up, there was a particular album by Gary Karr that I always loved. Partly because of its sound, but also because

The Planar 6 sits at the middle of the current Rega range of turntables. Not groundbreaking, but neither is it a slouch. I was quite surprised when I dropped the needle the first time. But seeing as it was a turntable I never expected to own, you know I had to write a review once

As I start to get back into the swing of things, I think the perfect album to start things off is Odesza’s latest, the Last Goodbye Tour. Just like most releases from Odesza, this one took me by surprise. I knew they were on tour, but I didn’t quite expect them to record a show

If you had asked me a decade ago about my thoughts on Marantz receivers in the traditional stereo space, I would have laughed. Never did I think I’d be reviewing a Marantz receiver in the stereo electronics category. But here I am. And yes, I was (and still am) quite surprised. As a preface, my

Oh man it’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it? Time for a new record and some beer to go along with it. Up this time is a longtime favorite of mine, Dent May. I first discovered him in mid-2016 with his release of “Face Down In The Gutter Of Your Love” and became hooked. That
