Alex Petridis writes …. ore than any other band that emerged out of the US hardcore punk scene, Minneapolis’s Hüsker Dü paved the way for what would happen next. This beautifully curated set covering their earliest years reveals a band already sporting an advanced case of split musical personality: Midwestern punk rockers unsure whether they […]
Paul McGowan: Have you ever wondered what recording studio engineers use for monitors? I’ll tell you – probably nothing you’d have in your home or system.

I get how an action figure in it’s original box and unopened can fetch more money but why does the original box and paperwork become so value added for stereo gear? I would value the original owners manual or service manual or schematics if they are not available anywhere else. And even then I would […]
They tell us …. Hitchcock describes his songs as “paintings you can listen to.” Love From London ”celebrates life in a culture imperiled by economic and environmental collapse,” he says. “We are surfing on the momentum of chaos. If a consensus on global warming comes from the people, then the media, the politicians, and […]
Paul McGowan: Looking at an issue of Hi Fi Plus, one of my favorite UK magazines, the cover shows a picture of the beautifully executed Constellation Audio products. These super expensive high-end audio pieces are beautiful on the inside and the outside and cost a small fortune to own. Much of that fortune is spent […]
Paul McGowan: …is that it leads to success. Perhaps the hard way, but sometimes it’s the only path there.

Paul McGowan: PS Audio’s YouTube channel has an entirely different audience than this post series. Almost 300,000 people have viewed our little videos, most just curious what all this crazy hi-fi stuff is about. While we’re not as interesting as cats juggling balls, apparently we still attract some sort of interest. And then there’s the […]
Roel Weerheijm, studied at Dutch Literature answers … Chopin is very likely the only important 19th century composer whose musical oeuvre largely ignores Beethovens influence and innovations. It can’t be underestimated how daring it was of him to clearly follow his own musical path. Nonetheless, Chopin played Beethoven’s music, admired Beethoven for what he had […]
