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

I’ll be honest that I wasn’t expecting an album to drop from Odesza, let alone a collab. So, this was a wonderful surprise that I was happy to indulge in. Prior to this album dropping, I didn’t know who Yellow House was. I was quite delighted to find a new artist whom I can support.

It’s been far too long since I’ve listened to Jack Johnson. Well, for myself at least. His music is everywhere for my kids. As such, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want something else at the end of the night. But here we are. My wife purchased his latest album for my birthday and thus

Another week, another record to drink tasty beverages to. Or at least that’s what my wife would probably accuse me of. Today, I want to take a step back and listen to one of the greatest folk/rock albums to be put to vinyl – in my humble opinion of course. I’m actually a bit surprised
