Review: Marten Parker Trio Floor Standing Loudspeakers

August 18, 2022 Michael Lavorgna
You might think that all well designed and well made speakers are easy to like. In my experience, this isn’t always the case. Some speakers can sound downright foreign, as if their musical language isn’t the same as yours.

Sometimes, there’s a lot going on in the Barn but there’s not much to show for it. This is one of those times.

The Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable Lands in the USA!

August 15, 2022 Michael Lavorgna
While the Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable isn’t exactly new(s), it hit the EU/UK markets last April, the (good) news here is that it’s now available in apple pie country. Or Jersey tomato country as the case may be.

In Barn for Review: Riviera Labs APL10 Preamplifier & AFM25 Monoblock Amplifiers (a new TM chapter)

Review: LUMIN U2 Mini Digital Transport/Streamer

July 28, 2022 Michael Lavorgna
Perhaps more than any other audio component, you want a streamer to get out of the way. The less you ‘hear’ a streamer, the better.

Auralic Updates the ALTAIR and ARIES Music Streamers

Review: ModWright KWH 225i Hybrid Integrated Amplifier

July 20, 2022 Michael Lavorgna
Power. Sweet, sweet power. I suppose there’s such a thing as too much power when it comes to hifi, but I think it’s actually bad sounding power we’re talking about as opposed to too much.

In Barn for Review: Marten Parker Trio Floor Standing Loudspeakers

I’ve long admired the speakers from Sweden’s Marten at HiFi shows over the years but I’ve never had the pleasure of living with a pair. Until now.
