Electronic Alchemy eForge 3D Printer For Electronics
According to NASA, Chance Glenn traces the inspiration for his Electronic Alchemy eForge 3D Printer back to Star Trek. He was struck by the replicator, a machine in the show that could produce food, clothing, ship parts, and anything else that was needed, on demand. Glenn proposed the project to NASA's Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, which funds research and development projects in technology areas that contribute to
NASA's missions.

Endow Audio T35 Point-Array Loudspeakers
Exceptionally well made with impressive on- and off-axis sound.
Review By Brett Rudolph
Last month I
had the fortune of being asked to review new speakers from Endow, which made
their debut at the Florida Audio Expo
2020. Endow Audio's T35s loudspeakers,
according to the company, represents the same quality at a substantially reduced
price without cutting corners. Indeed, they are certainly visually a sight to
behold.... The engineering itself was fascinating; Endow utilized
multiple drivers in various phases and closed baffle in a very non-trivial
design to allow for a very expansive off-axis listening field.

Sonus Faber Il Cremonese
Floorstanders
Sonus Faber's Il Cremonese speakers tell a story, and the more you listen, the more you not only get lost in the music, you appreciate and admire both in the story and the telling of it.
Review By Jules Coleman
If there is
anything obvious about obvious truths, it is their truth. Nothing else about
them need be, and often nothing else is. Moreover, some obvious truths are
obvious only in retrospect. Obvious truths – truisms – can be revealing,
insightful and even important. Take what is certainly one of audio's most obvious truisms: an audio system is,
after all, a system! Patently obvious? Yes. Uninteresting or unimportant?
Hardly!

KEF LS50 Active Wireless Speaker System
KEF's
bookshelf speakers still tower over much of the competition.
Review By Rogier van Bakel
I've
long had a predilection for prix-fixe meals. And why not? Hacking your
own path through the culinary scene is fine, but it might be unwise to turn up
your nose at three or four courses pre-selected by a talented chef. I don't
presume to know his cooking better than he does, so if he tells me that the
suggested dishes are his way of combining quality ingredients, his special skill
in preparing them, and a reasonable bill at the end, I'm in.

Audience Forte V8 Power And forte f3 Power
Chord
Clean power at an affordable price.
Review By Dr. Jules Coleman
There
is no doubt that the quality of electrical power is a limiting factor in the
performance of an audio system. I learned this lesson the hard way. In the mid
to late 1970s, while living in Milwaukee, I had put together what at the time
was a high-end system featuring an early version of the Magnepan Tympani
loudspeakers, a Connoisseur Turntable with a Formula 4 arm and a Decca Plum
cartridge. Between the TT and speakers, I employed as many different high
powered amplifiers as I could get my hands on.

Digital Amplifier Company 2-CHerry Power Amplifier
The light amp that packs a heavy punch!
Review By Frank Garofalo
My
time as an audiophile to date, I've always had the impression that Class D
amplification is just simply inferior to Class A or Class A/B amplification.
That impression was influenced by educating myself in the various topics of
audio, and through lurking on many online forums including topics about Class D
amplification.... While this may be true for common off-the-shelf Class
D modules that
may be found in A/V receivers and the like, this is certainly not the
case for the 2-CHerry Power Amplifier.

Lindemann Musicbook SOURCE And POWER 500
Beautify, simplify, electrify... may the SOURCE be with you.
Review By Clive Meakins
The old days are gone... well,
almost. How many of us still have piles of audio equipment connected via cable
spaghetti? Is it crazy to dream of simplifying Hi-Fi systems into a very few
items of equipment? Doesn't such simplicity come at the expense of quality?
There are of course economies in reducing the Hi-Fi box count; chassis costs are
high so fewer of these should result in a major saving. Reducing the number of
power supplies is beneficial too as is directly connecting circuits internally
which can cut the costs associated with providing external connectivity.

Schiit Bifrost 2 DAC
& Ragnarok 2 Nexus
Int. Amp.
A true multi-bit Hi-Res Audio DAC meets Nexus-level amplification.
Review By Ron Nagle
Yes,
it's pronounced, SHIT! There is no person with that name associated in any way with
this relatively new company. Would you think of this as a name for a startup? As it
happened this Schiit company started in 2010 when two audio industry veterans
decided it was time to produce their Shiit audio products. The two audiophiles
are Jason Stoddard, formerly of Sumo Audio, and Mike Moffat, formerly of Theta
Audio. They began with a nascent idea to build highly innovative Audiophile
quality components at a reasonable price. So how do you tell people how they
sound?
