We are truly creatures of habit. We get into a comfortable routine and we don’t want to leave. Change comes along to yank us out of our reverie and we can take one of three paths: object, ignore, adapt. We just launched new Bridge firmware—the very essence of change. Most people will install the new […]
There are people who use their stereo to enjoy their music. And there are people who use their music to enjoy their stereo. I do not begrudge those in the second group their fun, but I strive always to be in the first group. It’s an easy line to lose track of, but music just […]
PS Audio engineer Darren Meyers asked me an interesting question yesterday. One I have been pondering for the last twelve hours. Why are speaker measurements made with only one speaker? This was an intriguing thought. We listen to two speakers yet concern ourselves only with the frequency, amplitude, and phase response of one. Why should […]
Interacting with a front panel has always been important, but rarely how we judge a piece of equipment. Even the klunkiest front panel layouts were tolerated if the unit’s sound quality was up to snuff. The user interface took a distant second to performance. As we rush headlong into the age of the user interface […]

Fortunately I had been invited to attend a double event at The National Jazz Archive in Loughton, Essex which […]
One of the first things that upended my expectations was how sexy the affordable EVO S bookshelf speakers are. At first I thought, those look like Magico, especially from how the surfaces mimic that bolted-slab-of-aluminum look. And how they stand proud of the surface they are on by way of an integrated stand-off base. I […]

In the last movement of Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto, Patricia Kopatchinskaja takes the composer’s ben marcato seriously, using heavy accentuation to produce the effect of a pungent danse macabre. Even the contrasting legato melody is presented with a sinister, flautando sound. Janine Jansen’s performance (also with Jurowski and the LPO) is less extreme, with […]

According to British psychologist Glenn Wilson, music plays a very central role in the lives of people and is ranked highly among pleasures including sex, food and drink. Aside from the enjoyment of listening to tunes or composing symphonies, studies show that music of all genres can have a great impact on both the physical […]
They say: For some time, Helius has been asked to recreate a version of the Scorpio for the 21 century. We have bowed to the pressure and have now launched this, the 4th product to bare the name Scorpio. Available in both 9” and 10” guises we also believe the design benefits from the […]
Joseph Charles, Musician It wasn’t what I’d call a feud; they each took swipes at each other in 1974, and that was it. Rundgren criticized Lennon rather harshly in an interview with Melody Maker magazine. A few choice quotes: “John Lennon ain’t no revolutionary. He’s a fucking idiot, man. Shouting about revolution and acting like […]

Colin – can we get meaningful measurements of power line noise? Is the noise too low-level to measure without exorbitantly expensive equipment? What equipment is required? Outside of laboratories, who has it? We buy all sorts of devices to clean up power. So why can’t we measure the noise that’s there and target it? Wayne […]
