We're on the road — okay, two blocks away — at Echo Taste & Sound with Vegas culinary icon Chef Natalie Young. From her legendary pancakes to her analog record players, Nat walks us through her new Arts District gem: part listening lounge, part brunch haven, and 100% a certified vibe.On Today's Menu:
An intervew with Director of Acoustic Design at IAG, Peter Comeau. Peter helps manage the sound design for IAG brands, including Wharfedale, Mission, Quad, Castle and Audiolab. We chat him up and discuss his outlook on listening, reproducing sound and more. Peter gives his take on several audiophile myths, including how far a speaker should really be placed from a wall for the best bass response. He also sheds a little more light on the idea of "British" speaker designs and some of the pros and cons of two-way vs three-way approaches. This includes some insights into the new (and very popular) Super Linton sub-$3k standmount that we got a chance to review.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent discuss Darko's coverage of the Munich High End show, including his insistence that he's noping out of trade shows going forward. Will we really never see him again IRL? Next up: did Audio Judgement do this crossover A/B blind test right … and can a chancy collection of cheap caps and chokes credibly conquer the chi-chi stuff? Finally, they contrast two articles from high-end audio sites that posit very different proposals about blind testing.
Tools are for humans (and super-smart animals, apparently), garages are for cars, countertops are for food, and rollaways are for organizing! This esoteric episode is all (mostly) about embracing the perfectionist - just a little - and making your tools and shop space match your intellect and style. Because so many good projects and necessary repairs get hog-tied by bad organization, and a lack of operable tool enhancement can be submarined by a lack of organization, we want you to scratch that itch and embrace the OCD (if just long enough to put the nut drivers in the correct drawer). While we're at it, there's Jerry Reed and "Amos Moses", Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Ninja Tune and Funkungfusion, Electronic Excursions in Hi-Fi and Meat Beat Manifesto, and more "Kashmir' covers than you can shake a two-headed guitar at.

Car salesmen, transistor radios in the good old days, Hi-Fi equipment… do youngsters today know what quality audio sounds like? It's all about the bass! The 1950s and 60s when teenagers wanted a TV in their bedroom, a transistor radio and a record player. These days, they want the latest iPhone. How sad. Join me for a good old chat.

**Colin Peters presents… 15 FAVES** This mix features 15 tracks that are some of my all-time favourites, personal memories that come together to form a beautiful whole. **Laid Back – White Horse** It's electro, synthpop and post-punk rolled into one, what's not to like :) **Lenny Kravitz – Let It Ride (Jamie Jones remix)** ‘White Horse' and ‘Let It Ride', get it? Got to see Lenny Kravitz live in April 2025, and I love his homage to New York's 80s underground, expertly remixed by Jamie Jones. **Tiefschwarz – Kinda New (Tiefschwarz Dub)** The biggest track of Ibiza 2004 dominated the speakers of the White Island, especially at We Love Sundays at Space. **Moontalk - Virtual Friends** Love the whole Tiga 00s vibe on this 2024 track, leading us nicely into… **Seelenluft - Manila (Ewan Pearson remix)** **Golden Boy with Miss Kittin - Rippin Kittin (Tobi Neumann remix)** These two tracks will always remind me of my sets at Manumission and Carry On, with the electroclash and synthpop revival fitting perfectly with my sound at the time. **Information Society – Running (Oscar Independance edit)** Freestyle at its finest, this track really has stood the test of time. It's also one of the first remixes by one of my all-time favourite DJs and producers, Louie Vega. **When In Rome – The Promise ** This track, along with Desireless - ‘Voyage Voyage', are tracks I adored back in the 80s but then disappeared before coming back in a dazzling moment of rediscovery. ‘Voyage Voyage' in a taxi in 2001 in London and ‘The Promise' in 2004 as part of the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack. Poetry in motion. **Company B – Fascinated ** More 80s freestyle sauce by Company B. The Melody is strong with this one. **Mel & Kim – Showing Out (Serge Santiago edit & Extended Version)** This one always reminds me of my older brother and his 80s Hi-Fi system. Whenever he went out, he always said: “Don't you dare touch my vinyl; I'll know if you have.” I always gave it a good 15 minutes before getting my grubby hands on the record player. My faves were Five Star, Whitney Houston and this absolute banger by Mel & Kim, produced and remixed by the much-maligned Stock, Aitken & Waterman. **The Aikiu – The Red Kiss (The Magician Precious 80's Dub)** The Magician captures the magic of the 80s on this dub **Nami Shimada – Sunshower (Vox)** Originally released in 1989, Nami Shimada's ‘Sunshower' is a peculiar deep house anthem that has stuck in my head over all these years. The best mix is the Vox version from 2004, still sounding fat after 21 years later with its warm blend of house and electro. **Wham! – Everything She Wants (SMQ edit)** My No.1 Wham track, beautifully edited by Sleazy McQueen. I celebrated my 40th birthday by recreating Wham! 's ‘Club Tropicana' video at Pikes (I was George Michael, of course). **Steve Winwood - Valerie Eric Clapton – Behind The Mask** Ending 15 Faves, we have two 60s rock gods who embraced synthpop on 2 of their signature tracks. Stevie Windwood's glorious ‘Valerie' and Eric Clapton's masterly cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra's ‘Behind The Mask'. These two were massive on my Yellow Sports Walkman in 1985.
Welcome to Episode 27 of Best Issue Ever! This round, we're chatting with returning champion K-Ming Chang. I love K-Ming's books! They're really incredible, and I highly recommend you check them out. I think Organ Meats is my favorite, but you really can't go wrong. Also, she has a very informative website where you can follow her work. K-Ming has brought us Wonder Woman Historia, a conversation foreshadowed in her previous appearance on the show discussing Fruits Basket in Episode 4. I love this comic! It's written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with lettering by Clayton Cowles, and art by Phil Jimenez, Gene Ha, and Nicola Scott, and colors by Hi-Fi, Arif Prianto, Romulo Fajardo Jr., Wesley Wong, and Annette Kwok. This podcast is recorded in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is edited by Sara Century. The theme music is provided by Earth Control Pill, whose work is on Bandcamp.

An interview with Kevin Hayes Of VAC. The KT88 and the 300b tube are some of the most popular options for HiFi amplification. But what are the differences and why do some amp designers choose one over the other? Kevin explains the situation and also discusses Class A, if amplifiers "warm up", and if tubes sound better in the pre amp or power amp. A very educational and inspirational interview with a tube designer that has been in the business for over 35 years.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent dig into the news about a new $25/month music streaming service that claims it's the first to deliver lossless and immersive audio. (Please don't tell Apple Music or Qobuz or Tidal or Amazon!) Then they look on as an AudioXpress writer does a Marianas Trench-level dive on the return of the 78 rpm record, and question whether these can deliver as profound a musical experience as lathe-cut records. They conclude by pondering which paper towel is best for cleaning up the drool after Stereophile, Hi-Fi+ and Hi-Fi News review dCS's almost-$300K, five-chassis DAC.
Coming soon to own on videocassette! It was something we loved seeing, knowing that we could continue to build our ever expanding VHS movie collection. This week we talk with Chris Luby from Chris Collects Stuff on YouTube about the art of collecting VHS tapes. Will the movie you want to rent be at the video store? We hope so. Otherwise, we'll just watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space Again. Because it's a classic! Let's look into the world of VHS. What we're Enjoying Shua found a cool noir detective audio drama on Audible. The Big Fix: A Jack Bergin Mystery stars Jon Hamm as the classic style detective, trying to get a wrongly accused man out of jail and solve a murder, all surrounded by the Brooklyn Dodgers moving to LA. Totally fun, and totally free. Jay has been wanting to see what the new Apple TV+ series starring Seth Rogan called The Studio. It is an interesting look at the movie industry and the chaos that makes it. Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisits the 2012 kind-of-Alien prequel called Prometheus. It is a gory telling of the classic tale of aliens destroying man. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Video Tapes! This week we are joined by friend and collector Chris Luby. His YouTube channel Chris Collects Stuff spotlights some of the great things he loves to collect, particularly VHS tapes. This quirky and growing hobby is not only fun, it's also a way to preserve a historical era when we were obsessed with consuming as much media as we could, in magnetic, rectangular form. We discuss the why of the hobby, some rare finds, and some that are elusive. And make sure to like and subscribe to Chris Collects Stuff on YouTube Do you still have VHS tapes? What tapes did you wear out watching them so often? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Who needs WiFi when we have HiFi?” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

final ZE3000sv,国内定价980元的TWS 蓝牙耳机,被一系列音频测评媒体曝出,其产品和弱水时砂品牌的耳机「琉璃x」设计与架构高度一致。经过一系列拆解和证实,二者虽零售价差距5倍,确系同一代工方案。此事件被一系列自媒体冠之以「耳机315年度事件」「耳机圈年度丑闻」「日本耳机仙人其实是换皮国产中低端」「耳机圈传来噩耗」等等标题,成为了2025上半年耳机圈内最大的流量事件。作为吃瓜媒体的一员,这次瓜的味道却有点五味杂陈。上次录音的后半段,我们聊了聊这次事件的一点思考,以及那个最核心也可能是最敏感的问题:为什么消费者的愤怒,不应该针对final?时间轴: [00:00:03] BGM.

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to musician Jon Klages, grandson of musician and Hi-Fi proponent and record label owner Enoch Light. Our conversation with Jon began with understanding just who his grandfather was. A classically trained musician, Enoch founded his first group, Enoch Light & His Orchestra & later Enoch Light and the Light Brigade before World War II. Wildly popular in upper class New York society, Light went on to found one of the most unique independent record labels, well, ever. Vinyl collectors today will know Light's Command Records & Project 3 firstly for its unique, minimalist artwork from renowned artist Josel Albers. From classical to pop to Space Age Bachelor Pop to popular soundtrack hits and more, Light was nothing if not proficient. From albums like Persuasive Percussion to The Private Life of a Private Eye, Lights albums were visually stunning first and foremost. But take a listen to any of his albums from composers as varied as Doc Severinson, Dick Hyman, Tommy Mottola & the landmark album from The Free Design, the albums were recorded for the best audio fidelity available. The albums sound terrific. We discuss this with Jon & loved hearing about how his own mother played a role in all these recordings too. If you love the Moog, horns, Bossa Nova and more mid-sixties exotica, you must find these albums for your collection. We also talk to Jon about his experiences in the studio with his grandfather as well as his own recordings. Part of the fabled Hoboken indie scene of the 1980s, Jon release a new album in 2021, Fabulous Twilight and has a new album coming in 2025 as well. We discuss how Jon became a singer/songwriter, how his passion for being around music led to a career in it and much more. Plus, we hear much about Jon's father, a seven-time Emmy winner for lighting design who worked with everyone from Muhammad Ali to Ernie Kovacs. This is one episode you do not want to miss and it's happening right now. Take a listen to the Rarified Heir Podcast with Jon Klages, right now.
We look at the new range of TVs for 2025 from Sony, ask what are the best amplifiers for under 1000 pounds and what is the next step after Soundbars for those wanting a more immersive experience.
