We spend so much time getting our stereo systems to have resolving power, the ability to hear tiny nuance and subtle cues. Yet, is there a point where a system can be too resolving? Is that even possible? View HERE

Phys.org)—For the first time, physicists have found that humans can discriminate a sound’s frequency (related to a note’s pitch) and timing (whether a note comes before or after another note) more than 10 times better than the limit imposed by the Fourier uncertainty principle. Not surprisingly, some of the subjects with the best listening precision […]
Hi, and thanks for stopping here. Re the post below, we’d really, really like to know what you think. Have you got time to leave a comment? Thank you. Howard Popeck / Features Editor *************** We were having a discussion recently here in the office. Obviously we were chatting about Hi-fi and in particular how […]
“Records, aka LPs, have been around since the 1950s, so there are lots of them out there. I’ve bought great records for a buck or two at thrift shops and yard sales, and found them on the street for free, but records aren’t yesterday’s news; lots of young bands are releasing LPs. The way things […]
You love music, but even if you consider yourself a true audiophile, the cost of high-end sound can be, frankly, a little absurd. We talked with a handful of audio experts to find out how to get audiophile-calibre sound without emptying your savings account. Here’s what they had to say. Simply put, an audiophile […]
You would not believe how many e-mails I have received over time from fellow music lovers and audiophiles that start out with, “My Hi-Fi system sucks, I need some advice …” or a variation on that. Most of the time people ask me about getting a new piece of Hi-Fi gear that will remedy their […]

From time to time we wondered this too. This time though, we did a bit of searching and this is what we found: USA based producer of loudspeakers, founded in 1954 by Edgar Villchur, Henry Kloss, Malcolm Lowe and J. Anton Hoffman, and started out by producing acoustically suspended loudspeaker called the AR-1. Strangely enough […]
Acoustical engineering (also known as acoustic engineering) is the branch of engineering dealing with sound and vibration. It is the application of acoustics, the science of sound and vibration, in technology. Acoustical engineers are typically concerned with the design, analysis and control of sound. One goal of acoustical engineering can be the reduction of unwanted […]
Physical acoustics is the area of acoustics and physics that studies interactions of acoustic waves with a gaseous, liquid or solid medium on macro- and micro-levels. This relates to the interaction of sound with thermal waves in crystals (phonons), with light (photons), with electrons in metals and semiconductors (acousto-electric phenomena), with magnetic excitations in ferromagnetic […]

Don’t feel embarrassed if, when watching this loudspeaker, you think what you see is a design speaker. It certainly looks as if it were a design speaker, and your belief surely would be justified in view of the fact that the speaker ended up being an item in the MoMA (NY) permanent collection as well […]
