Review: Audio Hungary Qualiton X200 Integrated Amplifier

January 27, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Back in my early Bennington College days, a local bar just across the Vermont border in NY State decided to make Thursdays dance night. They were clearly trying to attract a Bennington crowd and it worked.

Review: Denafrips Terminator II

January 19, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

What are the odds that Denafrips will pull a hat trick? Or would that be a DAC trick?

HiFi Reviews

Review: Constellation Audio Inspiration Integrated 1.0

January 11, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Have you ever had a day where you feel as if every move you make is in sync with movements greater than you? As if you’re in step with something larger than the span of a step or day or lifetime?

Aqua LinQ: The Missing Linq

January 6, 2022 FIDELITY International

Sometimes you don’t realize that something was ever 
missing. . .until you find it.

Amazon Music Unlimited on the AURALiC ALTAIR G1: A Use Case

January 4, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

There’s a lot to like about streaming directly from a service like Spotify, Tidal, and Amazon Music Unlimited. No middle man for starters.

Review: AURALiC ALTAIR G1 Digital Audio Streamer

December 16, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

You can think of the ALTAIR G1 as a one-box solution for all of your streaming, serving, DAC and digital preamp needs. One and done.

Review: Perlisten Audio S7t Loudspeakers

November 30, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

How a loudspeaker releases sound energy into a room can make all of the difference in the world. The last thing I want is a hifi that constantly reminds me how impressive it is, how exceptional it is at this or that area of reproduction.

Review: Technics Stereo Integrated Amplifier SU-R1000

November 18, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

Technics and I could have known each other in high school seeing as the company was born in 1965 (if only the Japanese brand was also from New Jersey). It has been the job of the people behind the products at Technics to make things […]

Review: HiFi Rose RS150b Reference Network Streamer

November 2, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

I hate to contradict myself, but it happens so often I’ve learned to love it — take one look at the HiFi Rose RS150b Reference Network Streamer, and you may think: I need that.

Børresen Z1: The Secret of the Z

October 28, 2021 FIDELITY International

Engineering an awesome loudspeaker is easy. You simply have to do everything yourself and in a different way than everybody else.

Review: totaldac d100 Speakers

October 21, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

Public Address (PA) systems are used in any public venue that requires an announcer, performer, etc. to be sufficiently audible at a distance or over a large area. In hifi, clarity is also prized but in measured doses. Too little and music sounds like mud, […]

Review: Bel Canto E1X Integrated Amplifier

October 12, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

The Bel Canto E1X is what I like to call a full-function integrated amplifier as it includes streaming and phono capabilities along with a host of sophisticated signal processing meant to make our music sound virtually untouched.

Review: Totem Tribe Tower Speakers

September 30, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

Rooms are funny things. Speakers can be funny, too. Add these together, and you can get funny results.

AudioQuest Niagara 1200: When it comes to purity, size doesn’t matter

September 21, 2021 FIDELITY International

The cable specialists at AudioQuest are making a name for themselves as experts in power conditioning.

Review: Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III, Beauty For The Eyes & Ears

September 16, 2021 Michael Lavorgna

I can’t imagine anyone looking at the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III and thinking anything other than, “Damn, those are exceptionally well made.” Because they are exceptionally well made.
