Alors que son nouveau film "Killers of the Flower Moon" vient de sortir, Martin Scorsese est récemment revenu sur l'ensemble de sa carrière, et a notamment évoqué la violence que l'on retrouve dans beaucoup de ses longs métrages. L’impitoyable passage à tabac de Billy Batts dans Les Affranchis, la traumatisante séquence du marteau dans Casino, […]
Avec Killers of the Flower Moon, sorti le 18 octobre, Martin Scorsese nous offre une fresque monumentale de 3h26. Le cinéaste a défendu la longueur de son film et il ne mâche pas ses mots ! Quand on connaît la filmographie de Martin Scorsese, on sait que le réalisateur aime nous offrir des œuvres longues. […]
This is by no means a new product. It was available in a stereo version as far back as 1961, and apart from a couple of minor refinements—the addition of a bias compensator and a new, lightweight shell—it is still the same arm, and it still has the reputation of being the perfectionist’s tonearm.

No show coverage would be complete without a preview of Børresen’s major M6 loudspeaker ($550,000/pair) world premiere. Joining forces with products from the three other companies that comprise Audio Group Denmark, Børresen’s M6 dominated an exceedingly large room in the extremely attractive exhibit mounted by US Distributor/Dealer Next Level HiFi. At the heart of the […]
In a brand déjà vu with High End by Oz, Ken Boyce’s Cake Audio of San Clemente showed Lansche 5.2 “singing flame” loudspeakers with their plasma tweeter ($55,000/pair in either white or piano black), different Vitus components, and Albedo cabling. Room dimension and acoustics were different, of course, but both exhibitors had to cope with […]

That it sounded as good as it did in a hotel space formerly occupied by a hair salon—hair salons are hardly […]
Kyiv — Slava Medvedenko is a former basketball star who helped deliver two NBA championships during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers. But when Russia invaded his home country, like so many other Ukrainians, he picked up a gun. Having witnessed first-hand the impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine’s youth, Medvedenko sold his prized championship […]
One could only be impressed with the amount of air delivered by a cramped set-up in which TAD standmounts stood so close to each other and everything else. The sound was notably warm with excellent bass. It was hard to focus on music in a room with so much talking, so I turned to the […]
What a show. During its four days in the MOC event center, the first two reserved for industry and press, Munich High End attracted 22,137 visitors from approximately 100 different countries. With 550 exhibitors and more than 1000 brands from 54 nations, they had plenty to hear and see. With the COVID pandemic in (temporary?) […]
The folks at Gryphon Audio Designs of Denmark sure are smart cookies. Rather than overloading the public, industry, and press with a ton of words about their new Diablo 333 integrated amplifier ($23,000), they posted an extremely detailed “TECHNICAL TALK” sheet in the front area of their deep glass-entranced showcase. For readers who can’t easily […]
