In Barn: Ayre EX-8 Integrated Hub

July 31, 2018 Michael Lavorgna

Ayre EX-8 Integrated Hub (starts at $5,990.00 /  $7,850.00 with optional network board). I like to call this type of component a Streaming Integrated Amplifier because it offers a Roon-Ready Ethernet input (and DAC)  so […]

Cone Mills White Oak Denim: The End of An Era

July 30, 2018 Michael Lavorgna

In modern times, it used to be the case that the only way to buy made-in-America Levi’s made from American-made denim was to buy them overseas. All of the Levi’s sold in the US of […]

Album of the Week: John Prine

John Cage: Notations

July 24, 2018 Michael Lavorgna

I didn’t know about Notations when I found it in the Rare Book Room at the Strand Book Store. That said, I didn’t discover Notations any more than a hiker discovers Versailles. But that didn’t […]

MASS MoCA: A Dream (Place) Come True
