What Hi-Fi report: At first glance, the Roberts R100 doesn’t look like your average radio. There are no dials for tuning or adjusting the volume for starters – it has been designed to look more like a wireless speaker that’s been augmented with a screen and aerial. There are navigation buttons on the right hand side […]

There are very few systems that are truly full range. The shortcomings of rooms and speakers often preclude simple setups from delivering all there is on a disc. Take Music Room Three at PS Audio. The spot in the room where the FR30s disappear and one finds themselves totally immersed in the music happens to […]
CHRIS HALL: What’s happened? Sony has announced two pairs of affordable headphones, the WH-CH720N noise cancelling over-ears and the WH-CH520 on-ears. Why does it matter? Both headphones bring features from high-level devices, but at more affordable prices. What’s my take? Sony’s headphones are hugely popular, but some just can’t afford the asking price of the latest […]
PS AUDIO / Paul McGowan Things happen whether we accept them or not, like the old question about trees making noise when they fall. What would happen if we framed the age-old question of measurements vs. subjectivity differently? Instead of stating what we cannot do—if you can’t measure it it doesn’t exist—why not ask—what can […]
PS AUDIO / Paul McGowan On a good day, the limits of human hearing are said to be 20kHz. As we age, that goes down in frequency. So why, you might ask, do we expect our electronics and loudspeakers to produce frequencies well above our ability to hear them? In the case of PS Audio […]

Chord Company is set to deliver its biggest-ever Bristol show exhibition this year as it adds a second first floor demonstration room to help showcase the near-40-year-old company’s proprietary technologies and new products. The Wiltshire-based company, which has been hand-building its range of award-winning AV cables in the UK since 1984, will be demonstrating a […]
Here is where you, our readers, can comment on matters of mutual interest. A1:If DSD is the best technology for recording music I do not see any reason for not converting any music from an analog source to digital. And thus getting all benefits from today’s advanced DSP technologies. I personally convert my analog sources […]
CHRIS HALL: The Polk MagniFi Mini AX is a soundbar with a bit of a difference, in that it’s not really much of a bar at all. Instead of the usual lengthy oblong shape, the Mini AX takes a form more akin to a portable Bluetooth speaker. This means that it’s ideal for certain living […]
CHRIS HALL: Corsair’s gaming accessories include some of our favourite keyboards and mice, while its headsets at the top end offer really comprehensive suites of options and incredible sound performance. At the lower end of its pricing scale, though, the new HS55 represents a bit more of a compromise for those who don’t want to […]
Entire Melco range coming to Bristol Melco’s full range will be on display at Bristol, along with a very special unannounced newcomer Melco, the world’s leading digital music library manufacturer, will be bringing its entire Japanese-engineered product range to The Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2023, courtesy of its European distributor Audiophile Digital Music Masters (ADMM). Entirely […]
There were back then, as indeed now, the Japanese “A-List” as determined by the editors – many who should have known better! These were Yamaha / Technics / Pioneer / Luxman / Accuphase. They all made – in many cases, great sounding gear. However, the “B-List” by which I mean Hitachi / Mitsubishi / Toshiba […]
Here is where you, our readers, can comment on matters of mutual interest. A1:The theory behind “stereo” requires 100% symmetrical conditions, meaning identical parameters for each loudspeaker and each channel in the chain. But are always both ears identical? I doubt! It is proven that real heads/faces never show 100% symmetry, pinnae have a different […]
In December 2004, UK distributor HiAudio sent me a sample of Graham Slee’s Solo headphone amplifier for review in Hi-Fi News. The copy I submitted to Steve Harris coincided with his replacement as editor by Steve Fairclough – after several reminders it became apparent to me that he had no intention of publishing the […]
Here is where you, our readers, can comment on matters of mutual interest. A1: During the 1970ies analog equaliziers came into the hifi land. Beside the level adjustment per frequency span also parametric ones appeared where a center frequency of on of the filters could be tuned. Trying all this, I was never really happy […]
Here is where you, our readers, can comment on matters of mutual interest. A1: Two years ago I purchased a used Marantz SACD player on eBay for $170. It is aprox. 20 years old and in perfect working condition. The original price was $1800-2000. I bought it specifically to listen to my new collection of […]
Capacitors are interesting components. They serve as frequency dividers, energy storage units, and DC blockers (among other things). I’ve written before about my experience so many years ago learning about capacitor bypassing—adding a smaller capacitor in parallel with a bigger one to improve the sound quality of an amp or preamp. Why is that better […]
PS AUDIO / Paul McGowan In my recent post, Timbre, I brought up a number of examples of instruments that have unique timbre. But, one of the problems we have in evaluating how well our systems properly reproduce timbre is in the recording itself. How was it miked? What kind of player made the sound? How […]
