After a weekend filled with new and shiny gear... it's nice to dust off some slightly battered second hand audio again. The (even older units than this Transporter) Squeezebox was probably my first entry into streaming, while the TA-A1ES was more or less the last 'proper' hi…

There's worst places to be - and there's worst company too. Listening in the room Ken Ishiwata used for many years, and which is still utilised for product auditioning and evaluation. That's the 803 D4's, with amazing Marantz gear from the brand's illustrious past. . . . . #…

ELAC have a rich past making turntables, but only started building them again six years ago. The brand new Miracord 80 is the current flagship, following on the Miracord 90 (with which it shares a beautiful chassis). The walnut finish is lovely, but is it as good? There's an…

A lot of cool gear today: the Lumin U2, as presented by Angus Leung, together with the STR amp from Anthem and those brand new MartinLogan Motion XT speakers. Impressive stuff. Soon on Reese.nl . . . #hifi #streaming #music #lumin #audiophile @lumin__music @penholdbv

The AirPods Pro 2 are expensive but really quite good compared to other TWS. Can the same be said for the new HomePod from Apple in the wireless speaker space? Find out on techfi.nl - review's been up since last week. . . . #homepod2 #apple #wirelessspeaker #airplay2 #streaming

Has Sennheiser managed to significantly improve the HD660S, arguably in itself an update for the reference HD650? Read it on @fwdbenelux (there's more bass for sure) . . . #headfi #music #headphones #hd660s2 #hifi #sennheiser @sennheiser

Not your average streamer, DAC or should it be network transport.. the iFi Audio Neo Stream is a bit geeky, but also versatile. Why? There's a review in UK's Hi-Fi News and one online at Reese.nl that tells all. . . . #hifi #dac #streamer #audiophile #music #audio iFi audio

Got a first sneak peek of the Sonos Era 300 speaker yesterday. The demo of the ARC soundbar with two Era 300's as rears in particular was impressive, finally full Atmos support including rear heights for Sonos. Also remarkable: Spatial Audio via Apple Music in the Sonos app.…

Having a look inside the testing chamber at T+A today. Yes, they also build speakers (in fact, the electronics followed later). Impressive tour round this large but still family run company. . . . #hifi #germandesign #music #audiophile #audio #loudspeaker T+A elektroakustik

Setting up the Victrola Stream Carbon, the only turntable that currently streams directly to Sonos speakers. Some parts remind me very strongly of an AT turntable I reviewed a while ago... Of course, the new line-in on the new Era speakers make it easier to hook up a turntab…

Does all game audio gear sound crap compared to 'real' hi-fi? Not exactly, but in any case, nothing produces as much colour and light as these Arena 7 speakers from SteelSeries review up on techfi.nl . . . #gaming #audio #speakers #gamesense #solidsteel

Now on @techfi_nl another look at the Sonos Era 100 - in a stereo pair configuration. That's real stereo, makes for a big difference. . . . #sonos #era100 #wirelessspeaker #speakers #music
