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…

Piega Premium 501 Wireless Gen 2 — The Living Room Audiophile Cheat Code
Big-speaker slam, ribbon speed, and “plug-it-in-and-enjoy” simplicity — even in a nasty room Firstly, I’m wishing you a fantastic 2026, health, joy, and yes… may this be the year you land that elusive audiophile nirvana (or at least get uncomfortably close to it). If you watched my 2025 end-of-year roundup (the one with the gear…

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…

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…

Rockna Wavedream Reference Signature – Art Achieved Through Engineering
As you might already know from previous reviews, I am a big fan of Rockna Audio products. I have been very impressed by their first WaveDream implementation 11 years ago. They have evolved a lot since then and in 2021 I was blown away by their Rockna Wavelight DAC. I borrowed it for a review…

A Journey to Audiophile Nirvana: T+A Solitaire P Headphones Review
I have been holding onto this review for a while now. You can find here the first contact I had with these headphones here. I was so impressed with them at the Munchen High End Show, that I have bought them for myself few months after the event. I have delayed this review because my…

Embrace the First Light: The Meze Alba Experience
I am excited to write about these wonderful little headphones. If you haven’t checked my report on the Munich High End Show, you can find it here. Meze presented Alba at the show, and I had the pleasure of discovering it myself. I was blown away by Alba and awarded it both the “Wallet Wrecker”…

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…

HiFiMAN HE-560 – Review
There are some serious players in the headphone industry and HiFiMAN is one of them. I’ve read a lot about their headphones and it bothered me that I didn’t know anybody in close vicinity to lend me a pair of HE-6 or HE-560, as up until recent events we did not have a local distributor… Read more

Audio-gd Precision 2 – Review
If you read my review of Audio Gd Master 9, you would know how much I love that product and how happy I am with it in my headphone sound system. After spending a lot of Saturdays at Jack and listening to a lot of speakers, I’ve caught the bug of wanting some speakers of my own, small… Read more

Technical Specifications and Looks Don’t be scared by the following picture. I know this is an old case of… Read more

Forza Hybrid Series Twin USB Cable – Review
I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while now. If you remember, I’ve said that the MSB Analog Dac has an excellent USB input which lowers the difference between usb cables. Actually, while testing a few usb cables, I’ve ended up using the cheapest of them all, an usb cable which came by default… Read more

FiiO X1 – Review
Recently I’ve got my hands on the new FiiO X1. If you’ve read my review of FiiO X5, you would know that I was really impressed with it. Actually, even if it was on buy list since I’ve first listened to it, I just managed to get one for myself, just in time to compare it to X1.… Read more

Arcam FMJ D33 DAC – Review
I had this DAC a while ago, but only for a few days and did’t have time to write a review about it. Now it’s back in my house and since I had more time to test it properly, here we are. The first time I’ve used it with both Burson Conductor and Decware Taboo… Read more
