Last year a little nugget of information popped up momentarily on one of Michael Fremer’s Analog Planet show reports that might have slipped past unoticed by many, but not by me. Michael was visiting the AMG room at the Munich HiFi Show and during the walk through of what was on display and upcoming a brief mention was made of an upraded power supply option for the wonderful AMG Giro turntable which I reviewed back in May 2015…..
Many years ago, in another life, I ran a Marantz CD7 with a Pathos Classic One mk2, which was a nice combination with the Ruark Equinox speakers I used then (now moved on) but after awhile I began to sense there was something not right in that set up. Purely by accident I […]
Who would have thought, that so much could be packed into such a small space, and sound so good. As I look at the AudioQuest DragonFly Red, weigh it in my hand, turn its shiny red body over and over, I am gob smacked by just what this tiny product can do, diminutive in size, modest cost, and yet truly it punches well above its weight in terms of soundquality…..
Way back when I started Adventures in High Fidelity Audio I had thought I would like to cover concerts as well as music releases (which I did at one time) alongside the main focus of AIHFA which was and always had been intended to be audio equipment reviews. As they say the road to hell […]
Review of Audiophile Rocks crystal tweaks, Volcano, Glo, Blackhole, Rockwood V6, Noise Terminator.

Being totally honest my knowledge of the existence of such a thing as a turntable that had its platter driven by a rubber coated wheel rather than a belt, or direct motor drive was unknown to me, up until fairly recent times. The audio business I started work in originally, first as a Saturday boy, […]
Out of the blue back in August I received an email from, as it later turned out Gregor Szymczyk of Veracity Audio titled ‘DAC Test’, and being honest initially I viewed it as being a phishing email – I was getting a lot of these at the time, all getting increasingly clever, and tailored to try […]
Kennerton Audio are a new name to me, a higher end division of the Russian company Fischer Audio (also a new name to me) but apparently a big deal in the headphone/in ear phones world, a world I confess I know precious little about. I think it only fair to say right from the get […]
After my recent experience with Coconut Audio’s Vibra Dome Blue Star, I didn’t think I would be quiet so soon reviewing another somewhat unusual tweak for an audio system, and I guess bar a chance exchange it probably wouldn’t have. Let me put my cards on the table, while I am a subjectavist (enough […]
