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.

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.

We have a nice talk with Peter Van Willenswaard; the developer of the 'magical' PW1; Grimm's interpretation of a phono pre-amp. What makes it so special? Why does it sound the way it does? We asked Peter and of course played some music!
We have another interesting talk about music with Ole from System Audio. This time we talk about live music and Dolby Atmos for music. How does that actually work? And what about surround sound with live concerts? And DSP's...?
It is always an interesting topic: to go active or to go passive... Well: in case of speakers. Both have advantages. And of course: disadvantages. I talk to Ole to go a little bit more in depth.
Hifi gear - including speakers - get smaller every year. But how small can we actually go? We talk with Ole from System Audio about making stuff smaller and smaller...
