March 29, 2024 Stephen Mejias

Each Friday, Stephen Mejias, AudioQuest’s Director of Communications and former Stereophile and Audiostream columnist, will browse through the many exciting albums released that day and select 15 worth a closer listen.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Mannequin Pussy | I Got Heaven

March 29, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

I was certain this post already happened.

Axpona 2024

Austin AudioWorks to Premiere Their Headphone Amp & Phono Preamp at Axpona 2024

March 27, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

Austin AudioWorks is a new company with a rich hifi history. How’s that work?

HiFi Reviews

Review: Audionet HUMBOLDT Integrated Amplifier

March 26, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

When you buy most anything, you’re paying for everything involved in designing, making, packaging, distributing, marketing and selling that thing. You’re certainly not, as some audiophiles appear to think, just paying for some parts.

Axpona 2024

Treehaus Audiolab’s New ‘A/Machines’ 300B Amp to Debut At Axpona 2024

March 25, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

That’s a lot of amp.

Art&Culture

The HiFi Library: Audio Erotica from Fuel Publishing

March 23, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

So that’s what got lost in the shuffle—HiFi was, at one time, cool & sexy.

HiFi Reviews

Review: Grimm Audio MU2 Music Player

March 21, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

If you want to hear the best digital music reproduction I’ve heard by an obvious and distinct margin, you’ll need to find a Grimm MU2 to listen through.

In Barn for Review

In Barn for Review: Fyne Audio Vintage Classic XII Floorstanding Loudspeakers

March 19, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

Vintage classic, baby.

HiFi News

Roon Announces the $499 Nucleus One Server

March 19, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

After 18 years in the IT business, the last thing I want to do when it comes to playing music is fuss with a computer. Give me plug and play and have a nice day.

HiFi News

Schiit’s New $149 Vali 3 Headphone Amp/Pramp: Improved Performance Same Price

HiFi Reviews

Review: GoldenEar T66 Tower Speakers

March 13, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

“Better” can be a tricky thing to ascribe to a piece of hifi gear. After all, what each of us like or prefer is a matter of taste not fact. With that being said, the GoldenEar T66 are my very favorite GoldenEar speakers.

HiFi News

Introducing the Adsum + ELAC Powered Speakers: the Debut ConneX

March 12, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

Is having style in one’s life a lifestyle?

HiFi Bargains

HiFi Bargains: Audia Flight FL Three S Integrated Amplifier

March 12, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

Most mornings I wake up with a song playing in my head.

HiFi Thoughts

10 Angry HiFi Guy Beliefs or “You’re An Idiot Because…”

March 11, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

My best guess is people get angry when discussing hobbies because they’re unhappy, dissatisfied, insecure, or D) all of the above.

Our history, as humans, is pretty piss poor.

HiFi News

Q Acoustics Launches the $2k/pair 5050 Floorstanding Speakers

March 7, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

I put the price of the new Q Acoustics 5050 speakers in the header because when I heard them at CAF 2023 and I was shocked, shook!, to learn they cost $1999 a pair—a reverse shock of sorts as compared to learning you’re listening to […]

HiFi Reviews

Review: Vivid Audio GIYA G3 Series 2 Loudspeakers

March 5, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

Would you be surprised to learn that the Vivid GIYA G3 Series 2 loudspeakers sound like a larger version of the Vivid K 45 loudspeakers I reviewed back in July of 2023? Yet somehow even more than simply bigger?

Music News

Tidal Combines HiFi + HiFi Plus Tiers = $10.99/month for Lossless + HiRes

March 5, 2024 Michael Lavorgna

Sold! There’s nothing like getting more without paying for it. I can still recall the joy a simple bar buyback brought, which was more about the gesture than the alcohol.
