How often do you come away completely baffled by a piece of equipment that you’ve heard? Even with the number of components that I’ve had the pleasure of listening to, it happens a fair bit. That’s saying a lot, especially in this day and age where amplification technology has progressed to the point of being […]

It took me a long time to come to terms with subwoofers and the role they played in stereo playback. For the longest time I held the belief that the only bass you needed was what came out of your speakers. Need more bass? Get bigger speakers. In a sense, I sounded very Texan at

It’s been a while. And as you might have guessed, I’ve been busy. For those in the know, buying a house and getting ready to move has a way of keeping you busy. We’re a few weeks out yet, but that still means packing away most of the “spare” audio gear. Don’t worry though, that

Taking a step back into the early days of my vinyl collection, I happened upon this gem. Well, gem in my opinion. Back when I was just getting my collection started, I went into a brief craze of buying albums purely based on album art. I know what you’re thinking. Luckily (or not), this only

Taking a look seven years ago at one of my favorite albums by The Head And The Heart, I’m reminded why I enjoy the band

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 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. The manufacturer, MHDT, makes a variety of DAC’s. There’s

I think it’s safe to say that Tame Impala has been on a roll this last decade. It’s been an interesting journey watching how Kevin Parker’s signature style has changed over the years. It seems like with every album, he has tried out something new while refining what he already knows. Speaking of change and
