    Good audio reproduction as performance art ....

    Saw a mention on twogoodears about a Devon Turnbull horn system at Lisson, a Manhattan gallery. Has the bonkers Fostex woofer. Not sure if I would have considered a hifi as an art experience but given what most people listen to...maybe it is. I like the aesthetic, particularly the push buttons...

    speaker hook up wire ( between crossover and drivers )

    I am finally finishing a diy speaker project that has been on the back burner nearly a decade. Anyways...would like to discuss preferences for wire / cable to connect the drivers ( compression driver and 15" woofer ) to the passive crossover which will be just outside the cabinet. And for that...

    Motus II DQ in Seattle

    Hi all, Setup a demo this weekend with a Motus II DQ. We are still sorting out a few things (footfall / rack mainly). It will be a somewhat unusual system in that my client uses powered Genelec speakers directly fed by a NADAC player; so for the analog we are running the STST into an...

    Just a heads up that (for the first time afaik) the German made STST turntable and tonearm lines are available in the North American market from Solypsa!

    Why I love vinyl #29

    Lo fi fun tonight. Dusted off the sl1200s for a little dance party. Older folks remembering West Coast house and Detroit techno :) Even though the sound is, ahem, not so great it is still emotionally engaging and made me think of all the phases I've had and the records that spun the...

    PNW NADAC Player demo opportunity

    Hi all. So what's an analog-centric guy like me doing with a new Nadac Player? A demo opportunity arose from the new distributor, and since my vinyl mastering studio days had put me close to Merging hardware in the past I decided to take this for a test drive to see if it would be a good fit...

    Kinea DD undressed

    I had the pleasure of paying Bernd Hemmen of Primary Control a visit at his Amsterdam workshop as a 'Solypsa meets the maker' day. His creations are so elegantly simple in appearance that the level of detail and thought that go into them isn't always apparent, so I snapped a few pics of the...

    Sensitive Sound MC Cartridges in the USA

    We were searching for the right replacement cart for a client using a Lyra Delos who wanted, in their words, "more weight" and with a sub $1500 budget (partly because they are planning a Torqueo purchase for the winter...) and tried a Sensitive Sound ART Majestic. Liked it a lot and so picked up...
