Sonic Assault Not Necessary!
A lot of us entrenched in the audio hobby aren’t young any more. I guess that’s an understatement. Many of us just don’t need a system to blast our brains out and assault our core. I’m finding more and more that my customers appreciate a speaker system that sounds magnificent at a moderate level. Amphion (Finland) with its Wave Guide Titanium Tweeter…
Nelson Freire (1944-2021) RIP
The marvelous Brazilian pianist, Nelson Freire, has died. He has been among the most admired pianists on the planet for 60 years. I own a handful of his discs and consider them must haves of the repertoire. It starts with Brahms OP5, the magnificent sonata #3. Nelson’s recording in 2017 on Decca has outstanding sound and his interpretation rivals any recorded. Next…

With an NAD you can buy whatever speakers you like the sound of, with no worry as to their impedance. But NAD is unusually OUTSTANDING at…

When people buy new streaming products like NAD’s M33, C658, C700 or a Bluesound Node, we often get calls related to the streaming feature. The problems are almost never with the new products. The problems relate to DETAILS pertaining to your Internet provider and to a greater extent, your home’s network system. Streaming audio puts much more demand on your network than…
Vinyl Resurgence
The resurgence of vinyl is sure fun to see for us old goats, excuse me, veteran audiophiles. Young folks can hardly believe that LPs were our only format of quality up until 1982 when CDs made their mark. Yes we had pre-recorded cassettes & 8-Tracks, but I’ll stand my sentence #2. While the wave is riding high for vinyl, let’s look at…
