Clearaudio Compass record player

Tom Fine Nov 06, 2026

Clearaudio's origin story dates from the depths of the Cold War, in Czechoslovakia. It was 1968, and the Prague Spring uprising against the Soviet Union had collapsed. A young man escaped the carnage on a motorcycle, crossing the Iron Curtain into West Germany. That young man, Peter Suchy, went on to found Clearaudio in 1978.

Mike Mettler Nov 05, 2026

Miles Showell, the modern master of the half-speed master, has been busy.

Miles Showell: Half-Speed Master

Robert Baird Nov 04, 2026

Now that vinyl is again a growing and profitable reality, various schemes and ideas have emerged to improve the sound quality and raise the price of vinyl, especially vinyl reissues. From Mastercuts and One-Steps to Original Master Recordings and UHQR, vinyl records have never been offered in so many high-quality forms that both sound better and cost more.

ReDiscoveries #16: Frank Hewitt Lives

Thomas Conrad Nov 03, 2026

Jazz critics tend to live in the now. Just-released records. Tonight's concert. New breakout talents. One of the few things I dislike about being a jazz critic is that I rarely go back and dig out old albums I loved and listen to them again just for pleasure. This week, I did.

T+A A 3100 HV Reference power amplifier

Jason Victor Serinus Oct 30, 2026

When we first took an interest in reviewing the T+A elektroakustik A 3100 HV Reference fully balanced dual-mono solid state stereo power amplifier ($29,900), every existing unit had been earmarked for a dealer.

Herb Reichert Oct 28, 2026

Herb Senior raised me to be a wrench twirler. A problem solver. A mechanic. Not an intellectual. Or an artist. Following his example, I've devoted my life to measuring, cutting, and fastening. To putting things together.
