Alpha Audio’s Hifi Hour!

An interview with Shunyata Research - About equipment grounding

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.

An interview with Sven Boenicke - "I am bad at math"

We have a very nice interview with Sven Boenicke for Boenicke Audio in Switzerland. We talk about why he started the audio company, why his products are special and what we can expect in the future. The interview was done at Hifi Studio Wilbert in Utrecht, Netherlands. We thank them for the invitation and we thank Sven Boenicke for taking the time to talk to us.

An interview with Graham Audio!

We have a very interesting talk with Paul Graham and Derek Hughes about the Graham Audio speaker line-up ánd the history of the BBC monitor speakers.

Live Sound and Dolby Atmos for 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...? 

Active or Passive speakers?

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. 

A firm talk about cables - Joakim Juhl - OePhi Cables

We have an in depth talk with Joakim Juhl from OePhi cables. We talk about... well: cables! We are curious about his design philosophy and view on measuring cables. 

Making stuff smaller! How small can we go?

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... 

An interview with a DSP Wizzard!

We have an interesting talk with Steven Samaan. He is an absolute DSP Wizzard. We want to know more about a new service Stassen in Limburg is offering: you can buy a very advanced DSP for your hifi-system and Steven will come to give it a complete, custom tune to your room and taste!

Measurements versus Listening

We sit down with Ole from System audio to talk about measurements in the Hifi World. What can we actually measure? And how about just listening to gear? What is actually more usefull?

An interview with the Phono Wizzard - About the Grimm PW1 phono pre-amp

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!
