Midwife is San Miguel, New Mexico-based multi-instrumentalist Madeline Johnston and Luminol is her new record, released on San Francisco’s The Frenser last month.
If you expect the Sonnet Morpheus DAC to sound a particular way because of acronyms associated with its design, be prepared for a surprise.
Schiit makes me smile.
I first covered a totaldac DAC, the D1-Dual, back in 2013. In the intervening years I’ve reviewed and owned a number of Vincent Brient’s D to A creations and am very happily living with his d1-tube DAC/Streamer today. But totaldac speakers? Yes, totaldac speakers.

If you are wondering — are we talking about the Komuro? — the answer is a resounding Yes! I would add, and hot damn!
Sometimes anger is all that’s left.

My father owned a pair of B&W Matrix 801 speakers. He loved them, like they were alive.
That’s right folks, Axpona has pulled the plug on their October 29-31, 2021 dates and moved them to April 22-24, 2022. We don’t have to ask why.
Oh, boy! Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
Debris is actor/musician Keeley Forsyth’s debut album. Its roots having grown from a dark place, “There was a lot going on in my life that was heavy and hard,” with words and sounds reaching toward the light.
