Man oh man, I knew it was going to be robust to select the Top Rooms at AXPONA 2023. It jogs my memory of a kind of cooking competitors reveals on the Food Network the place […]

Why Team Joseph Audio? Well, I may name it Team Doshi or Team J. Sikora or Team Cardas or Team Berkeley Audio. But we’ve a foul behavior at high-end audio exhibits of giving all […]
I admit that posting my Top Five rooms on the 2023 Florida Audio Expo on Brian Hunter’s AudioHead web site may need been untimely. Now everybody already is aware of my Top Five, and I don’t need to […]
You already know I like Jeff Joseph and his speaker designs. He normally makes it to my Top 5 at each present the place he reveals. But at FLAX 2023 he pulled a quiet little trick […]

Florida in February always sounds like a good idea–on paper. But as soon as I landed in Tampa with high humidity and temperature in the mid ’80s, I remembered why I moved to the Pacific […]
The first Pacific Audio Fest is over. To paraphrase Tom Waits, ain’t nothing wrong with it a $100 couldn’t fix. The problems are easy to overcome–make better signage, choose rooms that aren’t spread out all […]
