HiFiQA.com: A (nice) place to talk abouthifi

October 25, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
I have issues with somehifi forums. Namely, rudeness, personal attacks, off-topic rambling, and utter nonsense pretending to be the truth. When left unchecked, this kind of behavior can fester and infect a forum faster than you can say unmoderated. My friend John Darko and I […]

Album of the Week: Lonnie Holley

October 19, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
So-called outsider art, or Art Brut, or naïve art, self-taught, etc, are terms used to describe artists who did not go to Yale’s Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. That’s a joke, sorta, but I always found these terms a bit cagey and to some […]

Review: Quad VA-One Integrated Amplifier / DAC

October 18, 2018 Michael Lavorgna
Listen here: I like tubes, I like integrated amplifiers, I like integrated amplifiers with DACs, I like Bluetooth, and I like well-made stuff. Seeing as the Quad VA-One is all of the above (and more), I like the Quad VA-One.
