Legacy filled one of the larger Axpona exhibit rooms with almost their entire lineup, and the “V” rig taking center stage. This 4-way system is the first to use the Legacy Wavelet Processor (an advanced speaker & room resonance correction system with a high-end DAC/Preamplifier) and features open-air dipole midrange, dual subwoofers with internal amplification, two Legacy 4” long AMT tweeters in a specially optimized post convergent array. The big talking points at the Chicago audio show was a first time showing for the new Legacy Powerbloc amplifiers in this configuration.… Read the full article

AXPONA 2019 Show Coverage brought to you by the LSA Group

I’m as interested in a good “desk” audio system as the next guy, and I have dabbled in assembling various small systems in my office over the last few years. Thanks to my old buddy Arnold Martinez of Tweak Studio in Chicago and LA, I’ve just experienced a small computer-based audio system with a very satisfying overall sound, so much so that I could use it as my primary system for quite some time without missing a beat.… Read the full article

AXPONA 2019 Show Coverage brought to you by the LSA Group

Not too many miles down the street from me in the Atlanta burbs lives David Solomon, one of the nicest guys in audio. Lately, however, I am starting to see how he may be one of the most effective guys in audio. Fresh off some success at Tidal, David has been working round the clock the past year or so at Qobuz, the French high-resolution music streaming service. … Read the full article

Florida 2019: Lee’s Best of Show

Wow. What a great beginning for a much-needed, in my opinion, regional Florida-based show. The weather was great, the sound was great, the people were great, the food and drinks were great. Tampa in February? Yes please.

But what were the standouts? Let’s get going.

What can I say? Damon, Leif, Kevin and the Gents from Marietta’s The Audio Company again impressed with a huge and rich sounding reference system in the biggest ballroom at the show at the end of the second-floor hall. … Read the full article

ES000420

ATLANTA (PTA) — Lee Scoggins, the Atlanta-based high-end audio journalist, has been promoted to International Editor for Part-Time Audiophile as part of its aggressive expansion into an inclusive multi-national and multi-cultural corporation.

Dr. Panagiotis Karavitis, the apparently outgoing International Editor for the sprawling online high-end audio-media conglomerate, could not be reached for comment. However, an auto-reply on his corporate email offered the following insight: “You have (not) reached me here on the glorious island paradise of Zakynthos. Currently, I am either prancing like Triton through the sea spray, or I am heroically saving the eyesight of poor migrant children displaced by cruel and heartless regimes.… Read the full article

Global feedback: how much can you eat in the street?

By John H. Darko| 2019-03-22T09:48:44+00:00 March 22nd, 2019|Categories: DAR|Tags: data, Global Feedback, Hi-Res, ISP, Qobuz, Tidal|

Cell. Mobile. Handy. Three different words from three different countries (USA, UK, Germany) used to describe a (smart)phone. Light Reading this week gave us a first glimpse of the 5G pricing/data plans about to land Stateside. Anecdotally, the most common responses echo those of 4G’s introduction: prices will come down (in time) as adoption increases.

But what about existing data allowances? Audiophiles with their proverbial shit together and streaming from Tidal and/or Qobuz will almost certainly be rocking a home internet connection with generous data accommodation.… Read the full article

Have your Pi & eat it: Pro-ject’s Stream Box S2 Ultra

By Phil Wright| 2019-03-19T08:48:54+00:00 March 19th, 2019|Categories: DAR|Tags: Pro-Ject, Qobuz, raspberry pi, Reviews, roon, Sources, Stream Box S2 Ultra, Tidal, Volumio|

‘£600 is flipping expensive for a tarted up Raspberry Pi!’

Not quite the words of the forum poster but in line with the sentiment: that Pro-ject is ripping off customers by charging silly money for a Pi with open source software and a nice case. Fairy dust or what?

Actually, strip away the invective and we find a reasonable question. Pro-ject are quite open about the Stream Box S2 Ultra (Stream Ultra) being based on the (CM3 industrial version of a) Raspberry Pi running a customised Volumio operating system.… Read the full article
