    Lichtlaerm Audio Prometheus

    About a month ago, I was lucky enough to receive my Lichtlaerm Audio Prometheus from the very first production batch. I did a demo and shootout of it here:

    I tested if speaker break in is fact or fiction

    Merry Christmas, fellow enthusiasts! I did another obsessive deep dive. I've been talking about speaker break in and have teased a test ever since I released my 50+ Vintage 30 shootout over half a year ago. Well, I finally got it done. Enjoy!

    Celestion Vintage 30 Alternatives

    How do you do, fellow kids? As my Vintage 30 quest is slowly coming to an end, I'm already down the next rabbit hole - Vintage 30s not made by Celestion and V30 alternatives! So far I've lined up: Popular speakers with similar flavours: - WGS Veteran 30 - WGS Retro 30 - Mojotone BV30V -...

    Looks like the "new" 2022 Vintage 30 is dead already

    How do you do, fellow kids? Some of you may have seen my 50+ Vintage 30 shootout a few months ago. One of the V30 myths I looked into was the "new" Vintage 30 that become popular after a Glenn Fricker / Spectre Sound Studios video. I only had two new V30s and the results weren't definitive. So...

    Heads up Vintage 30 Nerds: Bad Cat V30 for sale

    My Vintage 30 pile - Where is the line between enthusiasm and insanity?

    If there is one, I am too far away from it to see it. Preparing to shoot over 50 V30s out with each other to find out what parameters really make the difference. Production facility, production year, OEM version, luck? I hate myself already

    Hagen vs VH4

    Just spent the better part of the last hour comparing these two beasts channel for channel using an amp switcher. My brain hurts now. How can they be so similar and yet completely different at the same time? I cannot pick a favourite to save my life.

    NAD - Diezel Hagen!

    Got myself a Hagen to place on top of my Herberts. Not pictured is my D-Moll. Now all I need is a VH4 to achieve peak fanboy level I have to say the Hagen is similar enough to the Herbert for me to love it yet different enough to be interesting. The cleans are outstanding and channels 2 and 3...
