    Is the Boulder 508 actually good or actually not that good?

    I have read almost exclusively good things about the Boulder 508. However one review (certainly not paid by the manufacturer and therefore genuine) is killing it. It may be due to the wrong cables / adapters, however the audiophile gives way better opinions to other competing phono stages at...

    TAD M1000 vs M2500 thoughts?

    Pondering between a new TAD M1000 power amp and a 8 years old used M2500 mk1. I’ve read the M2500 is overall more expensive than the M1000 as it has much bigger transformers and it’s cut from a 90kg aluminium block, with the M1000 having updated internal components vs the M2500 mk1, and that the...

    In 1993, Harvey Rosenberg published a book entitled The Search for Musical Ecstasy. Unfortunately, the book is out of print as far as I know. Harvey and I talked about hi fi and music often. I miss what he brought to the conversation. He asked me to write a chapter in his book that I entitled...

    Forget it Jake, it's Audiophile

    Picking up on a post from David (@ddk) in the thread The language of Reproduction and language of Music. The mini-context being records and record quality. Allow me to go broader.
