Joey Roth's Ceramic Computer Speakers Review: $500 Gives Your PC Audiophile Cred
Joey Roth's ceramic computer speakers are just about the most gorgeous I've ever seen, and they sound amazing. But at $500, they're not for anyone who still thinks their MP3s sound just fine. More » -

Audiophile Test: Speaker Wire, AC Power Cable, Record Demagnetizer
As promised, here are more details on the unscientific audiophile gear comparisons I did in Michael Fremer's audiocave. They range from the mildly crazy to the borderline batshit—and they were all fun as hell. More » -

Twelve of CEDIA's Most Beautifully Expensive Audiophile Speakers
Put simply, CEDIA is a trade show that trains its attendees to prep a home for MTV Cribs. Simple as that. So as a result, the audiophile gear on display is a sight (and an expenditure) to behold. Especially if your Cribs client prefers speakers that cost more than some small countries' GDPs in their champagne room to better reproduce the low-end punch of his John Mayer SACDs. More » -

Krell Papa Dock Combo Costs Four Grand, Makes Your 96kbps Tracks Sing
Audiophile megabrand Krell's Papa Dock (companion to the $1500 Kid Dock, which snaps into its new daddy) boosts the Kid's output to 150 watts, sports a gigantic power supply along with isolated stereo channels, and will set you back another $2500 on top. I would say our jury's still out on spending $4000 on serious audiophile gear to amplify a consumer-level source input, but this thing looks like it could take a bullet for you, if that's your thing. And as Adrian points out, naming your product after a brutal Haitian dictator is always a great way to stir up some interest. [Krell] -
