Alpha Audio Presentation about Networking for Audio

De eerste in - hopelijk - een serie! We zitten met Ronald Wanders van HifiveStudio. We praten over de hifishow in Wenen, kabels, betaalbare hifi én muziek natuurlijk. 

We talk with Joakim Juhl from Oephi. We talk about system balance, cable integration and a bit about some other topics like capacitance, PRaT and how to start with creating balance.

Mafico is op bezoek bij Hifive Studio in Zeewolde. Garmt legt uit hoe DS Audio cartridges werken en wat de voordelen zijn van het systeem. 

Power is power. Right? That’s what many people believe. As long as 230 volts comes out of the wall socket, it doesn’t matter how you bring it to your amplifier. Right? But anyone who digs a little deeper – or better: truly listens – discovers that the story is much more complex. A power cable is not a neutral pipe that simply carries current. It’s an active link that can audibly influence timing, dynamics, and calmness in a system. We talk with Joakim Juhl from OePhi-Cables, Denmark. More information: www.alpha-audio.net.

We have another interesting talk with Joakim Juhl; founder and owner of OePhi Cable (Denmark). This time we talk about digital cables. Are there actually digital cables? We are about to find out!  

Alfred Vassilkov came to visit the Netherlands. So when he was at Hifi Studio Wilbert in Utrecht, we took the opportunity to schuedule an interview with him. He was kind enough to sit down with us for over an hour. We asked him about his youth, his passion for music, electronics and of course his designs.

We houden een interview met Mark Otten: coach, dj en docent aan onder meer het Haarlems Conservatorium. We praten over zijn drijfveren, achtergrond, carrière en bijzondere leerlingen. We have an interview with Mark Otten: coach, DJ and teacher at, among others, the Haarlem Conservatoire. We talk about his motives, background, career and special students.

At the first edition of the Noir & Blanc Hifi Show in Brussels, we did a presentation about Streaming Audio Networks. We explained very shortly how networks work, the different media you can use to build a network and how to tweak it. And yes: we talked about the importance of decent equipment. Incluiding measurements to prove it :-).

Van den Hul zelf vertelt over zijn leven, akoestiek, kabels (en de materialen) en natuurlijk: vinyl. Hoe is hij tot zulke prachtige elementen gekomen? Waarom klinken kabels anders? En wat heeft hem gevormd tot wie hij nu is? Dit is een bijzonder interessante - en leuke, humoristische - presentatie om te zien. Mede omdat het anders dan anders is...!

We had a nice talk with Grant Samuelsen from Shunyata Research. We talk about how the company works, how they design their equipment ánd about an interesting new product: the Altaira. A grounding system that should improve the musical reproduction of practically any system. As a bonus we check out the Gemini: a small filter with also a grounding system.
