In Barn for Review

Dual Mono, Zero Feedback, 2-Stage Valve-MOSFET Integrated Amplifier,  baby.

A tower of power.

A balanced discrete R-2R DAC. NOS or OS is your call with I2S as an option.

Audiovector was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1979 by Ole Klifoth. That’s the same year I graduated high school and judging by mirrors, that’s a long time ago.

Vintage classic, baby.

It seems to be the month for lovely black aluminum clad hifi!

A Naim stack!

I imagine some people may find it difficult to get beyond the striking appearance of the Treehaus Audiolab ‘Phantom of Luxury’ Field Coil Loudspeakers long enough to listen.

It was simply a matter of time.

There was a brief period of time, post college and post months-long-Europe trip, where I tipped the scales at about 134 lbs. which is how much the Audionet Humboldt Integrated Amplifier weighs. Woof!

The main, big, difference between the recently reviewed and revered Grimm MU1 and the MU2 is the latter also has a DAC built in.

The Western Electric 300B is the movie star, the rock star, the supermodel of vacuum tubes.

There’s no mistaking a Vivid Audio speaker. Even, I would suggest, with one’s eyes closed and ears open.

I’ve been waiting, patiently, to get some Barn time with a Merason DAC, having enjoyed some of the systems containing one at a number of hifi shows, so color me pleased to be sitting in front of a new Merason DAC1 Mk II.

The T66 is the first speaker in GoldenEar’s new T Series that offer refinements over GoldenEar’s much loved Triton Series of loudspeakers.
