Sometime ago – in AIHFA (1) – I reviewed the excellent, beautifully made Track Audio Isolation Feet, in the context of an isolation platform, subwoofer, Ruark Equinox speakers and as replacements for the Mico Seki microsorber feet that the direct drive JBE Series 3 turntable came with as standard. The standard Track Audio Isolation […]
This year has been personally challenging, in fact the last two years or so have been among the worst I can remember and I think it fair to say that this has somewhat curtailed the amount of editorial on Adventures in High Fidelity Audio. I regret that situation deeply and it disappointed me greatly […]
The Dawn of Romance – Songs and music of the early troubadours of Provence. EMI CSD 3785 (1978) What is the oldest music in your record collection? For many it would probably be some Baroque: Bach, or Telemann. But this is only early- to mid-eighteenth century. How about Palestrina? Better, however this is still only […]
Words somehow feel inadequate right now re trying to sum up the life of the man (1) who helped define subjective audio reviewing, who gave us both the methodology and terms to do so and a rich vocabulary to help express what Harry heard. Those words and methodology filtered out to the wider audio […]
Sadly once again I was unable to attend NAS this year, which by all accounts is still shrinking, as a number of previous exhibitors have either stopped exhibiting or have moved to the HiFi News show – which will be held at the same venue as last year – the Beaumont Estate on the 1st […]
It was with great sadness that I learn’t yesterday that Murray Dick (Jack Williams online nick-name) owner, designer, manufacture of EcoFan Audio had died suddenly.

Ever had an itch you wanted to scratch but the opportunity just didn’t present itself? Well for awhile now I have wanted to compare the USB inputs of my AMR DP777 DAC with the coax ones, but a failed attempt with an Audio Gold GD (bought S/H, old model) quiet some time ago had left […]
Having bought both an iFi Audio USB Power and iFi Audio iDAC after reviewing them a little while ago I was asked by Vincent Luke of iFi Audio and also Abbingdon Music Research (AMR) if I would like to review their new – highly anticipated USB cable – I didn’t have to think about it […]
Thanks to Fernando Barbosa we can once again visit the just past Audio Jumble, held as usual at the Angel Leisure Centre Tonbridge. This year visitors had to battle their way through floods of near Biblical proportions to reach the venue and based on Fernando’s photos it looked like a good Audio Jumble – well […]
I want to wish all the Adventures in High Fidelity Audio readers, contributors, manufacturers and distributors world wide and their families a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful and healthy New Year, without your ongoing support, encouragement and items to review AIHFA would be an impossible venture. Thank you for making AIHFA possible. Regards […]
