High End Munich 2019: A Tradition In Listening with Silbatone

May 14, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

It’s difficult, at least for me, to make appointments during show hours because time at the massively massive and heavily crowded High End Show is dear and I prefer to wander where my interests take me.

High End Munich 2019: Odeon Audio or Why HiFi Is About Much More Than HiFi (a story)

May 14, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

My father and I had our differences, who doesn’t with theirs?, but our meeting place, the thing that always brought us together, was hifi and music.

May 10, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

A Bio-Dynamic Adventure: AudioQuest NightOwl, Fostex TH610, ZMF Eikon

May 8, 2019 Darren Henley

Two channel systems with loudspeakers, or “stereos” as my childhood friends and I called them, and headphones have always run together, side by side—my earliest memories of listening to playback include both. I recall sitting on one end of our couch in the living room […]

Home Is Where The Heart Is: Or, Reviewers Are People Too

May 4, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Have you ever read any hifi forums or the comments section on a hifi review site? I have and let me tell you, it ain’t always pretty.

Review: Dynaudio Focus 30 XD

May 2, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

“I hope they sound as good as they look” I heard myself thinking as I unboxed the Dynaudio Focus 30 XD. Their sleek, high sheen, high contrast grey oak high gloss finish gave them an air of 2001 monolith-otherness while standing inside the Barn. By […]

High End Munich 2019, Here We Come!

Axpona 2019: Photo Gallery

April 23, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Smoke ’em if you got ’em. I snapped 455 photos during 3 days at Axpona 2019 (plus some Polaroids). You’ve already seen a bunch. Here are some more. I’m visually oriented so I care about how things look. YMMV.

Axpona 2019: The Wrap

April 18, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

More so than any other show, I need to apologize. We all know hifi shows can be big, really big, but there’s really no excuse for missing important things. And I missed a bunch. My excuse? I don’t have one. Besides, I don’t like excuses, […]

Axpona 2019: My Favorite Things

April 18, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

“You’re the best!” When you hear that being said, you know it’s typically meant to come with a pinch of sarcasm. If not, it implies the bestower of said gift is in a position to know what’s best. For everyone.
