After patiently waiting for four and a half months, I finally received my beloved Rega Osiris back from getting warranty work done. And yes, it sounds excellent now… just as wonderful as I remember when I first took it out of its box. But, let’s take a step back first. I’ll be the first to […]

I haven’t mentioned it much, but I’ve been fighting my Osiris in the last few weeks. Yes, it’s still a tremendous amplifier and will continue to be my solid state reference. That said, it had developed a 180hz hum (via the speakers) that I haven’t been able to resolve regardless of internet suggested solutions. I

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

Today I review A Moment Apart by Odesza, while pairing it with a nice craft brew. Let’s get started. It’s crazy to see how Odesza has exploded over the last 6+ years. I discovered them very shortly after their release of their second album “In Return”. I think most people assume it was their first

I think it’s safe to conclude that Rega is one of my favorite hi-fi brands of all time. The crew there makes, in my opinion, some of the finest no-fuss components in the industry. From turn-tables to amplifiers, speakers to cd players and dacs, they have almost everything covered. I remember my first introduction to

In preparation for the second coming (also known as a 2nd kid), I have been given the keys to the bedroom for a few months. Of course, this means turning it into a dedicated 2-channel nirvana. Before I brought the Rega RS10’s out, I setup my smaller Proac Tablette 10’s. Normally these are used in

I’ll say up front that this isn’t a full equipment review. This is merely me talking about my two sides when it comes to choosing audio equipment. My full-time job is as a software engineer. More specifically, I manage the mobile applications. This includes (but usually isn’t limited to), planning what we’re working on, working

A Brief Intro I’ve been into music for a long time. More specifically, I was into classical. Growing up, I played the double bass – or stand-up or contrabass – all through middle and high school. It was 2002, and I signed up for orchestra without any input or inclination from my parents. To be
