Review: Weiss Engineering Helios Reference DAC

September 18, 2025 Michael Lavorgna

The Helios is the 3rd DAC from Weiss I’ve reviewed in these pages along with the DAC501 and DAC204 and the one thing they have in common, beyond their obvious Weiss origin, is they all sound great. In many ways, exceptional.

TEAC’s New Reference 500 Series PD-507T CD Transport Is Coming Q4 20025

September 18, 2025 Michael Lavorgna

As we all more than likely know, a CD transport does not also house a DAC. If it did, it would a CD player. For serious listening, I’m a fan of transports seeing as I already have a DAC I love. You probably do too.

HiFi Thoughts: In Praise of Listening

September 15, 2025 Michael Lavorgna

We live in a funny world, which isn’t funny at all most of the time, and one of the funniest notions in hifi is that the value of listening to music is best determined by a measured approach devoid of emotion.

Say Hello to the New Goldmund Telos 670 Integrated Amplifier

September 10, 2025 Michael Lavorgna

Technics’ New $899 SL-40CBT & SL-50C Direct Drive Turntables

September 9, 2025 Michael Lavorgna

I make no bones about my love for Technics ‘tables and own a 1970s-era SP-15 because a) it is a thing of industrial design beauty, b) it plays 78s, and c) it does what it’s supposed to do really well.

Review: Harbeth NLE-1 Professional Monitor Loudspeakers

September 4, 2025 Michael Lavorgna

TMI. Too much information is an oft-stated knock against “Pro” audio gear. On the other hand, hifi companies with Pro Audio history are often valued for that experience. Odd, no?
