Photo: John Atkinson In the excellent My Back Pages essay that closes this issue, Londoner Phil Brett writes, “I bought my first albums in my teens for £2 then sold them off years later for 50p each.” Why did he sell his records? “[I]n those days, most vinyl had the thickness of a butterfly wing…
“Have you heard Dutch & Dutch? If you haven’t, you must.” Time and again, variations on that theme were voiced either by me or many of the attendees I chatted with at the show. As far as I can recall, my encounter with the Dutch & Dutch 8c active loudspeakers ($15,000/pair) is the first time…
A fisherman from the U.K. caught a massive carp that looked like an irregularly sized goldfish in a lake in France earlier this month. The bright orange fish weighed in at 67.4 lbs and was appropriately named The Carrot, according to Bluewater Lakes, which manages a lake in the Champagne region. The angler who caught the…

At last, on Sunday at 2pm at Munich High End 2023, Peter followed Abby Fon (below) of Impex Records’ packed…
How Raidho manages to produce such an extreme, seeming full range sound from a floorstander as diminutive as the X2t (€14,000/pair) I do not know. But perhaps its planar-magnetic tweeter, which is almost the same as in the much larger TD6, has something to do with it. The speaker, which replaces the X2, also has…
OLD BRIDGE, NJ — Wind gusts were clocked as high as 70 miles per hour in the rainstorm that battered New Jersey Tuesday night (that was reportedly on Island Beach State Park). And thousands of residents across the state lost electric power that evening, and into the following day. But nothing could prepare utility crews…
I’d encountered the pairing of room sponsor Nordost with VTL electronics and Stenheim loudspeakers in this very same room last year. But this time, with one more year to learn how to tame an extremely large, semi-intractable listening space, set-up wizard Stirling Trayle scored a bullseye.
