Best Of 2024 Blue Note Equipment Awards
Celebrating the best high fidelity / high-end audiophile gear of 2024!
High-End Audio Awards By Enjoy the Music.com

  Enjoy the Music.com's Best Of 2024 Blue Note Awards celebrates the many great achievements by audiophile manufacturers within the high-end audio and Hi-Res Audio industry. Our 2024 Blue Note Awards is a culmination of more than two decades of reviewing high-end audio equipment and carefully choosing what products have earned special recognition for our annual awards. Our Best Of 2024 Blue Note Award celebrates the finest products we have reviewed during the previous 12 months.

Recipients have been carefully chosen after much debate and consideration by our staff of reviewers. With each passing year our industry has experienced great advancements in technology including analog circuitry, vinyl LP and analog playback, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), loudspeaker design, personal media players, and more.

While there are many great pieces of premium high fidelity audio equipment now available within the marketplace, Enjoy the Music.com's Best Of 2024 Blue Note Awards is compiled from products we have reviewed within the past 12 months that have earned extra special attention.

From October 2023 through September 2024 our staff chose only 20 products that have earned our prestigious Blue Note Award. This year we've become exceptionally particular as in 2023 we chose only 16 products that earned our prestigious Blue Note Award. Thus, choosing only 20 products during 2024, instead of a multi-year lengthy list, is normal for us. Please see our previous Blue Note Awards; we have links to them at the bottom of this page.

Only The Very Best
Let it be said here and now we make no apologies that our staff chose only 20 products to receive our special Blue Note Award. With so many products spanning a wide array of categories reviewed from October 2023 through September 2024, this does not mean that everyone gets an award. This is not to say that other products do not merit your attention, it is simply that only the very best of the bunch should stand out and be recognized clearly and concisely.

Furthermore, Enjoy the Music.com does not carry over products from our Best Of 2023 Blue Note Awards, Best Of 2022 Blue Note Awards, Best Of 2021 Blue Note Awards, Best Of 2020 Blue Note Awards (or any other awards for that matter). This year we've made it easier for you to see all the products that have earned our special Blue Note Award too! All winning products are seen within our September 2024 Review Magazine, and we want to congratulate all manufacturers whose product have rightly earned our Best Of 2024 Blue Note Award.

We feel both the high-performance premium audio electronics industries, and our readers, should have full transparency by knowing products are chosen by our writers and reviewers. There is no pay-to-play / pay-for-entry or added costs to license our Blue Note Award 2024 as is the norm with other industry awards. They are not a way to enhance our revenue by forcing companies to pay a fee to be eligible or pay once again to use the Blue Note Award logo. Simply stated, companies can not buy an award. Enjoy the Music.com's Best Of 2024 Blue Note Awards are truly earned. 

Let us celebrate life, and the 20 chosen award winners! As always, in the end what really matters is that you... enjoy the music!

Enjoy the Music,

Steven R. Rochlin
