Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Maria BC | Hyaline

September 30, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

HiFi Reviews

Review: Soulnote A-2 Integrated Amplifier

September 29, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

“Sushi can only be evaluated by eating it.” That is one of my favorite quotes from Soulnote’s Design Philosophy page. I’ve been saying similar things for decades, albeit with a NJ flavor.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: EMM Labs NS1 Streamer

September 28, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

A clean stream.

HiFi Thoughts

DUT: This Is Not A Test

September 27, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

I always kinda cringe when an audio reviewer calls the thing they’re reviewing a DUT (Device Under Test). First off, it sounds horrible and secondly reviewing hifi gear is not a test.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: A Parasound Stack – JC 3+ Phono Preamplifier/JC 2 BP Preamplifier/JC 5 Stereo Power Amplifier

September 26, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Power, precision, control. A Parasound stack.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: Meitner MA3 Integrated D/A Converter

September 25, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

The Meitner MA3 Integrated D/A Converter also houses a Roon Ready network player and volume control making it a plug & play streaming Preamp/DAC solution.

In Barn for Review: EMM Labs DA2 V2 Reference Stereo DAC

September 25, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

The DA2 V2 Reference Stereo DAC is EMM Labs’ flagship DAC. When the opportunity arose for me to hang onto the review sample from the BIG system for closer inspection, I took it (not literally, mind you).

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: Mola Mola Kula Integrated Amplifier

September 24, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Sleek & sexy works for me.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: A Silent Angel Stack – Munich M1 Streamer, Bonn N8 Audio Grade Network Switch, Forester F1 Linear Power Supply

September 24, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Silent Angel recently signed up with US Distributor Specialty Sound & Vision who asked if I’d be interested in reviewing a stack, albeit kinda mini, of their digital gear. And here we are.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Sudan Archives | Natural Brown Prom Queen

September 23, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

On her second full length release as Sudan Archives, Brittney Parks sounds as if she was set free—mind, body, and spirit—to explore an endless playground of sound.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: Dynaudio Focus 50 Active Wireless Speakers

September 22, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

The Dynaudio Focus 50 Active Wireless Speakers have everything you need to play music packed inside—just add music.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: Credo EV 1202 Ref. Loudspeakers

September 21, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

When the BIG system left, they left behind a smaller Credo: meet the EV 1202 Ref. in the Barn-appropriate custom Rough Cut finish. Yum.

HiFi News

Barn News: Welcome to the B-Side

September 20, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

“Why don’t you review big speakers?” a friend asked some time ago. And I thought, Why don’t I review big speakers?

September 16, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Epic.

HiFi Reviews

System Review: EMM Labs & the Credo Cinema LTM Speakers (or, what does a $350k+ stereo sound like?)

September 15, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Imagine an interview with a mountain climber who just scaled their highest peak. “What was it like?” the reporter asks. “Really big!”

HiFi News

Innuos Goes SSD with the ZENmini S

September 14, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

I’m a fan of SSDs in small form factor music servers, especially when they look like someone paid attention to industrial design. The new Innuos ZENmini S checks all boxes.

HiFi News

September 12, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

The new ELAC Debut ConneX powered speakers, one is active and one passive, are more than powered speakers as they also house a DAC and phono/line input. Just add source(s).

Album of the Week

September 9, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Babehoven’s Sunk, an EP released on Double Double Whammy in March, is a slow dance around subjects seemingly trivial and epic.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Tube Integrated Amplifier

September 7, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Every so often, the hifi underground surfaces and says, “You have to hear this.”
