An Evening with Analog – Independent Blog about Audio

I am looking for outstanding sound and interesting design. From Hi-End to old vintage classics. I have gone through the phase of a “pelican” swallowing everything from forums and Facebook, and now I try to help others avoid the traps I and my friends fell into. Less about cables and voodoo, more about specifics – tubes, speakers, sources – the things that truly matter.

Close to 10 years, during which I have assembled several hundred systems. Dozens of pairs of speakers, dozens of amplifiers. The goal – music, fun, and new friendships.

Passion should bring people together, so I hope you’ll find something here for yourself. If you’re looking for help and have had enough of reading, I also invite you to audio-architect.eu – thanks to this, the site can operate without ads, and you’ll save yourself disappointments 😉
