My Favorite Audio Discoveries of 2025 (and Why They Stayed)
2025 is coming to an end, Christmas is here, and I wanted to do something I rarely do: a highlights-of-the-year piece focused on the gear that actually survived real life. Not the stuff I tried for two evenings and then packed back into a box. I mean the products that earned a permanent place in…

Bower and Wilkins PI8 – Wireless ANC Earbuds Review | Comparison to Technics AZ-100, Devialet Gemini II, Apple AirPods Pro 3, Sennheiser Momentum 4 Earbuds
This one was a tough review—one of my toughest. It took weeks of tuning, listening, and note-taking to get what I needed, but it was also fun. And it’s a good reminder: you don’t always need big bucks to play around with great sound. What pulled me back into this rabbit hole was the Bowers…

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 Review (vs ML 5909, Focal Bathys): Sound, ANC, Measurements
I feel like in the last few years we’ve been spoiled in this hobby. Back in 2007 you had a handful of solid wired options—and “wireless” basically meant a really long cable. It’s funny now how we audiophiles used to mock Beats by Dr. Dre. They did sound bad, sure, but they did convince regular…

Electrifying Euphony: My Journey from Whisper to Roar with the Game-Changing Chord Ultima Amp
Recently, I found myself yearning to dive back into the world of speakers. As many of you know, I’m the proud owner of a pair of Martin Logan ESL-11A speakers, which I’ve previously reviewed. I still adore them, but life, especially with two little ones scampering around the house and needing quiet for their naps…

A wonderful trip down memory lane
Hello guys, A few weeks ago when I was visiting jack-fi for an audition, we ended discussing about vinyls and old times. The guys from jack said that it was a time when they had a turntable in every audition room and that maybe they will bring them back, as they begun to miss them. Read more
