Sunday Morning Selections is back with (what I think is) an upgraded production. I’ve decided to add a voiceover and captions to this video, featuring “Ellington Remembered,” in special vinyl sampler form. These are a handful of incredible performances recorded between 1956 and 1970. While the album was digitally remastered for CD sale specifically, it turns out the label had the sampler made on vinyl - and many of you know I’m a collector of label samplers!

My system features:
custom Oso loudspeakers
custom TT
Vintage Nobis Cantabile tube amp
Vintage Carver integrated and pre courtesy of
power and cables
All resting comfortably on a Rigidrack

I wish you all a beautiful Sunday - and a very Happy Mother’s Day! 💐💐💐

After almost two years of reviews, revisions, waiting, and not being able to say anything, we can finally announce this incredible news: T.H.E. Human Side is now live and available on Prime Video (yes, THAT Prime Video)!!!!!!!! The documentary, which started as a web series about audiophiles, hifi, and the importance of an elevated listening experience went on to win 16 international film festival awards, have its theatrical premiere at the TCL Theatres (aka Grauman’s Chinese Theatre) in Hollywood and is now poised for an even longer life worldwide. This film was a true collaborative team effort with each person bringing something truly unique and valuable to the story and production. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in the production as well to everyone who has been supporting the film thus far! 🙏

Behold the 082 integrated amplifier! This beauty was a real pleasure to spend time with - and oh, what time we spent exploring all the features and learning all about it. Here’s what I can tell you. The 082 features:
• balance control with “bypass” function
• tone controls for treble and bass w “bypass” function
• wake up volume -programmable power-up volume setting
• the ability to adjust individual inputs between +/- 9dB
• master and link on/off function for Home Theater needs and SO much more!

Another cool thing I found out is that
post-assembly, each component is subjected to an automated test with an audio analyzer, which consists of roughly 300 individual measurements! (To me, that’s pretty cool.) Each component MUST conform precisely to the reference configuration. Additionally, all the units have a burn in time at normal load non-stop for at least 5 days. If that doesn’t give you piece of mine, I don’t know what will.

The 082 is equal parts hefty and nifty and if you can get your hands on one to audition, I highly recommend that you do. 😉

I mean… one loudspeaker is better than no Vivid Audio speakers. Just sayin’ 😉😘
