The Hazelrigg Brothers Live (Audiophile Musicians)

I’d like to recommend musicians that deserve greater exposure and should be of interest to fellow Audiophiles. The Hazelrigg Brothers are George and Geoff Hazelrigg (piano and bass) and John O’Reilly Jr. (drums). They released their latest album SYNCHRONICITY: An interpretation of the album by THE POLICE earlier this year and it has been a mainstay on the Billboard charts since then. They have a unique take on their sound that some would classify as jazz, but the brothers would demur since they have a largely classical training and background. I also would highly… Read More

  • REVIEW – The Ranger Audio I/A Integrated
    The crew at Ranger HiFi has been winning awards left and right for their small but mighty speaker systems at $299 and $149 per pair, and some great cables at $99. So it made perfect sense to see a compact integrated with similar performance. But this small and this inexpensive? Impressive indeed. Smaller than a […]
  • $149 a pair? CRAZY
    The Vera-Fi Ranger speakers have really taken me on a trip down memory lane today. Many audio reviewers and enthusiasts with high-end systems sometimes forget where it all began.

  • The Vera-Fi Vanguard Scout Speakers
    $299/pair Verafiaudiollc.com Listening to The Knack’s “Africa,” I tried a trick that I’ve seen at more than one hifi show – I hooked this $300 pair of speakers to about $200k worth of gear. Wacky as this seems, it illustrates two things: the ultimate performance envelope of said speakers, and how easy (or not) they […]
