Introduction and confession
I like integrated amplifiers, you know where you are with an integrated and by using one you remove two levels of potential difficulty you have with a pre-amplifier and power-amplifier combination; namely compatibility between the pre and the power (unless they are from the same brand and even that does not guarantee full [...]

One area of audio debate which can be guaranteed to set off wars is that of whether audio cables make any difference and even more so can a mains cable alter or improve the sound of a component it is hooked up to.  Well I guess it will be no surprise to those that know [...]

This is the first review by 22 year old Jason Herzl and I want to offer him a very warm welcome to Adventures in High Fidelity Audio.
Jason is a college student on a very tight budget and as he puts it ‘this has caused me to become quite savy in the “cheap-and-cheerful” Hi-Fi arena’ This approach [...]

Recently I have had the pleasure of listening to two cartridges that despite having ‘Blue’ in their title, could not be more different: a Decca Mk.

Flux damping was invented by Dr Tominari, of Dynavector, in order to [...]

Finally it’s time for me to write up my thoughts on [...]

One of the stand out experiences for me at the recent Northern Ireland Audio Show was the personal demonstration that Keith Martin of Isotek conducted for me of the new Isotek Super Titan.

As this is not a formal review as such (1) and not one conducted in my own listening room I think it only fair [...]

Recently I have been pursuing a Technics 1200/1210 related review project (1) and that has included trying a few arms, cartridges, mats and PSUs on the turntables and during the course of doing that the subject of this particular review came about.
After 23 years of success using a selection of alignment protractors and one universal [...]

This review kind of got stalled due to the clump of HiFi Shows AIHFA has been covering over the last few months, so apologies go to Concerto Audio for the lateness of the review
I installed these cones several months ago and there they have been until today (going about their business) when I sat down [...]
