They are not exactly new but Paul Rigby has always wanted to review these Little Ribbon Speakers (plus!) Why? Well, considering the technology that Magnepan utilises within the LRS+, £1,675 promises remarkable value for money. Secondly, boxed speakers can sound wonderful but they arrive with their own challenges and inherent sound-based chaos and colour. I... […]

Mini Music Powerhouse $995.00 fiio.com/k17 Nestled in between my mighty Klipschorns, with ROON playing “Paranormial” by The Art of Noise, it amazes a few of my audiophile buddies that the source is the tiny FiiO K17 DAC.

Think about cables for a few minutes. Then think about having only a pair of power cords in your system.If you’re in a small space, less is usually more, so this is not a bad thing for you. The Dynaudio Focus 10 speakers only need a pair of power cords. You can link the two […]

Say, who says we have to hand out awards at the end of the year? We’ve always tried to be a little bit different so here goes. The Audiophile Apartment section of our magazine and site has always tried to concentrate on audio gear with a smaller form factor that doesn’t give anything up in […]

After spending an afternoon with staffer Earle’s Focal Sopra 3s, just before firing up their new Vestia no.1 at my place, the level of sonic excellence they bring to a $1,198 pair of speakers seems amazing. Listening to the same handful of tracks that I shuffled through at Earle’s house, not too much sonic memory […]

Portable music for those on-the-go By Rob Johnson I still remember my first stereo, a 1981 Sony Boom box, which served as a loyal companion from middle school through college. It finally failed after a decade of use. However, my nostalgia for the old-school portable form factor persists. So, I’m thrilled to see Teenage Engineering, […]

Class-D Perfection $8,995 -$9,495 (finish dependent) Javahifi.com Spoiler alert. The Java Integrated is a Class D amplifier. Just in case you’re predisposed to a certain idea of how Class D is supposed to sound, you need to abandon it, or stop reading. To be fair to Java’s Martin Bell, I’ve always been Class D adverse, […]

Do you remember the part in the movie Amadeus where Emperor Joseph II, his Kapellmeister, and other music advisory staff, including Salieri, have just heard a part of Mozart's latest work, are less than pleased with it, and the emperor declares that it "has too many notes"? Mozart is shocked and amazed, and, to everyone's […]

The naysayers on internet forums will have a "hey"-day with this review. They complain about reviewers who proclaim that each new product they review is better than the last one.

Perhaps there are some audiophiles that may have only heard of the Danish high-end audio manufacturer Gryphon because they have seen their ads in Enjoy The Music.com.

Bryston is a company that has never rested on their laurels. Unlike some companies, Bryston does not release new products every year; just to release "something". Instead, Bryston tends to issue generational releases, marked by a significant incremental improvement in sound and technology.

Some of the best gear in my house has shown up at the worst possible moments. A Bryston amplifier I once reviewed arrived the same week my refrigerator quit.
