What can I say but when I’m in my video game zone don’t disturb me. I was reliving childhood glory playing one of my favorite all time game Area 51 at the STiKS Arcade Charity Gaming Gala. I must have been looking pretty good since I had two guys chat me up but when your in the zone […]

Our thanks to Mick Survance, owner of Quintessence Audio, for hosting our December meeting at his store in Morton Grove. He had on hand some of the most interesting high-end products for us to listen to. Featured were the flagship Sonus Faber Aida speakers driven by Audio Research electronics and the T+A Elektroakustik Criterion TCD110S speakers and T+A electronics from Germany. There were analog, digital, and computer audio sources. Pro Musica Audio's information is:
Sonus Faber describes the Aida as "...a blend of tradition and innovation. A synthesis that expresses beauty."
The Aida is a 3.5 way floor speaker, in the shape of a “lyre”, divided into separate tuned chambers. It takes advantage of sound field shaper technology, a new optimised system for the decoupling of speaker/floor “Z.V.T.” (Zero Vibration Transmission) “Bow Spring”, a new dual kinetic-thermal conversion system for the removal of residual vibrations “T.M.D.” (Tuned Mass Damper) as well as para-aperiodic tuning system “Stealth Reflex”.
"...the Aidas present a tonal accuracy and contrast that, by far, are the most natural and convincing I’ve ever witnessed...the Aidas do the seemingly impossible, providing a seamless soundstage that never sounds like a woofer, tweeter, and midrange in a cabinet (even though their complement of drivers has crossover points at 55, 180, 250, and 3,000Hz)...They have provided one of the most enjoyable musical experiences of my career.":
“…Sonus Faber from Italy builds sonic sculptures, not loudspeakers. Aida’s elegancy, however, is not an end in itself but, also from an acoustical viewpoint, the perfect form. Never before has a loudspeaker blended power and ease, beauty and tone in such an accomplished manner"Lincoln Malte Ruhnke, Audiophile 1/2012
﻿﻿﻿﻿"...the depth, space and air these speakers throw at you is pretty amazing. Each CD’s recorded space was faithful to my ear and instruments’ timbre rang true.”
The Audio Research GS150 and Reference 75 tube amplifiers were used to power the Sonus Faber Aida speaker system.
The TCD 110 S is the flagship of the new CRITERION series. It features two special bass drivers, two mid-range units in the D’Appolito arrangement, and a completely new kind of super-quality dome tweeter with waveguide (sound director).
"If you’re looking for a reference-level speaker that sounds fantastic and offers almost impossible value for money, you need to listen to these. Highly recommended."
There is a really popular series of commercials promoting some of the best features of the AT&T Cellular Network where a man is sitting in an elementary school library asking young children if it is better to be Bigger or Smaller? Fast or Slow? More or Less? Better or Worse? Out of the mouths of... Read more »
What is it that keeps athletes interested and motivated over the long term? How are they able to train day in and day out, month after month, and keep that passion alive? And after their athletic career has ended, when all is said and done (with awards, honors, and trophies all up on the shelf)... Read more »
It never ceases to amaze me, the inner strength of some…no matter what their circumstance. So much so that I get goose bumps watching and listening to their story. It’s simply impossible for me not to. Such is the case with Steve Hartman’s (CBS) story of power lifter Jonathan Stoklosa, a great share by my friend Bart... Read more »
It is in giving inspirational presentations to high school athletes that I have had the distinct opportunity to reflect on what allows a select few athletes to achieve greatness through adversity. This “special” ingredient is something that most certainly comes from within, permitting a competitor or a team to reach beyond normal limitations. It is... Read more »
