Synopsis : Dom est veilleur de nuit dans un petit hôtel du Havre. Un soir, une femme arrive à l’accueil,…

Editor’s Introduction: One of the big industry stories of 1985 was the split, both personal and commercial, between the British Linn and Naim companies. Led by Ivor Tiefenbrun and Julian Vereker (footnote 1) respectively, both companies had started up in the early 1970s. Both men held similar views, both about the fat-cat complacency of British…

Reconnaître la dépression chez un adolescent n’est pas toujours facile, y compris à la maison. Un récent sondage américain révèle que 40% des parents ne sont pas certains de pouvoir se rendre compte si leur enfant traverse un épisode dépressif. Selon  des estimations de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé, la dépression touche plus de 300…

It is not at all unusual these days to find manufacturers producing “matched” speakers and amplifiers that are designed specifically for one another. But it is very unusual to find this being done by an amplifier manufacturer who doesn’t make loudspeakers. The Futterman H3-A is one of these rarities—an amplifier designed primarily to complement one…

Head-Direct’s HiFiMan HM-602 is the second in a growing line of perfectionist-quality portable music players designed by Fang Bian, a 31-year-old audiophile and student of nanotechnology at the City University of New York’s Hunter College. Bian’s first HiFiMan design was the larger, heavier, more versatile HM-801 ($790; see my review here). In building the HM-602,…

In the realm of loudspeaker reviews, John Atkinson’s measurements and my empirical observations have one important equivalency: Both are meaningless abstractions until confirmed by your listening experience. Both are contingent on factors that are necessarily obtuse and not especially controllable. Fortunately, the only loudspeaker assessment that really matters depends entirely on consensus: you and your…

My current romance with audiophile-quality headphones began in earnest with the appearance, about 10 years ago, of Audeze’s LCD-2 planar-magnetic headphones—these predated the company’s patented Fazor elements, said to guide the sound around the transducers’ magnet structures—and Schiit Audio’s original Asgard headphone amplifier. Together, these groundbreaking products rekindled my interest by making headphone listening into…
