Düsseldorf Panorama
I took a similar shot two years ago but I went back to the same spot to see if I can improve on it with the same equipment. This is a detailed multi-shot panorama with a resolution of over 120 megapixels. I might get it printed some day. Click to...
Asian Studies
This is what I do. Read expert publications on China while listening to audiophile music and enjoying either a hot coffee or a cold drink. This photo is a personal time stamp from the summer of 2018.
beyerdynamic DT 240 Pro
The beyerdynamic DT 240 Pro are a good set of portable cans in the budget-tier category below 100 $. I think the monitoring purpose advertised by BYR is a bit too enthusiastic, but they do sound enjoyable especially with Pop and Rock music. They are not ground-breaking in any way....
Empty Glass
The bokeh up front is from an empty wine glass. A very simple trick to fill up some empty space if you use an open lens. In hindsight, I should have pulled it closer…
What does the Fox say?
It would probably say that a day listening to music and reading photography magazines is a day well spent.
Astrotec AM850
The AM850 enter an extremely crowded market with an abundance of choices among sub-100$ priced IEMs. This is quite a challenge and for that Astrotec did well. The AM850 feature good build quality and an attractive design. The sound has an authoritative low-end with nicely tuned mids and highs. Ultimately,...
InEar StageDiver 5
The InEar StageDiver 5 are technically easily the best of the series. In fact, I think the SD-5’s strengths even outperform the company’s reference flagship ProPhile 8 if linearity is not top priority. The tonality is extremely engaging and balanced at the same time and I can see some less...
Cologne in Deep Fog
A dense fog drowned out all buildings behind the Cologne Cathedral that night, giving the city’s perhaps two most prominent buildings even more attention.
Sonarworks True-Fi
At Headflux we think pragmatically: good sound is good sound, whether or not it was achieved with the help of DSP. In our opinion, the frequency response in particular is very important for subjective sound perception. This is one of the reasons why we have been intensively involved with the...
Munich High End 2018
From May 10th to 13th 2018 the High End show took place in Munich. It is organized by the High End Society with its headquarters in Wuppertal. The High End has been an annual event since 1982, making it one of the largest international audio shows. Once again this year...
In the Woods
The great thing about portable audio is you can listen to it anywhere. In the woods, some might rather listen to birds sing or the bickering of a creek, but at least you have the option.
Black
My first shot of the black Hugo 2. I think the colors pop much better than with the silver version.
