Absolute Sound's "Reviews"
Their paper version always has several extensive subjective reviews and one very lengthy review of a very expensive component.  They do have 2 or 3 issues a year where they do their recommended components and awards, which sounds like what you're ...

Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?
@mulveling  Coherent, natural sound with solid & sharp imaging, I'm sure that's how your Tannoys sound to you, but isn't just about every speaker manufacturer shooting for those qualities, some with more success than others?  There are exc...

Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album
I have never gotten Ms. Barber"s appeal.  I haven't listened to all her stuff, but what I've heard hasn't motivated me to make the effort.  Sounds like bland audiophile music to me.

Shoutout for the 432EVO Aeon III and Dave Lalin of Audio Intellect
