Ever since Northern Irish producer Jack Hamill, AKA Space Dimension Controller, burst onto the scene with 2009's otherworldly EP The Love Quadrant, he's consistently surprised and delighted us with his stratospheric take on alienated future funk and sci-fi-hi-fi boogie-infused techno.

But that doesn't mean we can't give Apple shit for the smug way in which it tried to sell us on the idea that removing compatibility — with headphones, hi-fi systems, and car stereos alike — is a bold and courageous step into the future.

In Designed for Hi-Fi Living: The Vinyl LP in Midcentury America, recently released by the MIT Press, authors Janet Borgerson and Jonathan Schroeder delve beneath the kitschy album art to explore how this genre of mood music reflected an era of shifting desires.

At this early stage, the American listening bar (sometimes called a hi-fi bar) remains a social experiment, because a bar is still generally understood as a place to talk, not listen; recorded music is a compulsory extra, but generally ignored or appreciated in flickers.

The LG G6 came out last year, but this upgraded version has 128GB of storage and specs that are still impressive, like a 13MP dual-rear camera, 4GB RAM, IP20193 waterproofing, a headphone jack, Hi-Fi Quad DAC for audio, a 1440p screen, and MicroSD slot.

Jamming every last bit of innovation in doesn't make a great phone LG's approach has not changed with the G5, however the company has been able to outsource much of its excess ambition to the Cam Plus and Hi-Fi Plus plug-in Friends for the G5.

Not quite the ultimate power user phone LG's V20 is an Android phone I'd recommend to people who insist on having one of the device's four cornerstone features: a replaceable battery, elaborate manual video camera controls, excellent audio recording capabilities, or a hi-fi headphone listening experience.
|
|
You can add new functionality, such as camera controls with the camera module, or a hi-fi chip with B&O's module, but those additional modules cost money, and not everyone is prepared to dish additional cash for a few extra features after purchasing a new smartphone.

This year, he and Harkin took their eclecticism a step further with the inception of the Planetarium series, a new audiophile-focused listening event where non-club focused music is played on a hi-fi system while attendees lounge on pillows or snuggle up inside sleeping bags.

With Mr. Mancuso's blessing, they began running events in London in 22012, starting a slow-burn trend that has spread around this city: Numerous listening clubs now invite people to experience recorded music played through hi-fi rigs that most humble audiophiles can only dream about.

The track is the sonic equivalent of those horrifying milkshake monstrosities that dazzled the Instagram feeds of suburban teens this year—take the hi-fi bombast of a Hard Summer headlining set, pile on a pound of sprinkles, and top it with a whole slice of cake.

Image: HTCWe're focusing on speaker technology here, but it's important to remember that the overall audio quality you hear also depends on the quality of the inputs coming into the speakers (or headphones) too—that's true for smartphones and laptops as well as high-end hi-fi gear.

Things aren't all doom and gloom though, as the V30 has managed to retain and enhance certain aspects of the phone, such as its 32-bit quad DAC (digital to analog converter) Hi-FI, which delivers one of the best headphone listening experiences you can get on a phone.

Titus Welliver (above, right) leaps from the screen with wound-up-old-guy energy as Harry Bosch, a nonsense-intolerant veteran dick with a dark sense of humor, a divorce under his belt and a Hollywood past — hence the nice house and tube-amp hi-fi in the Hills.

While the speaker's wooden frame, aluminum controls, and textile grille harken back to a golden age of Hi-Fi, it features modern functions including Bluetooth AptX wireless connectivity to stream music and concealed USB and audio ports inside a hidden drawer where there's space for an optional Qi charger.

I can't recall ever actually listening to it, but given the strength of the material that followed under his own name on labels like Ostgut Ton and Mikrowave, perhaps I need to go back and flagellate my former self and stuck the fucking CD in my tatty hi-fi.

Littered around him are his record collection, a pair of turntables connected to a dazzling tube amplifier and E&S rotary mixer (complete with the label's iconic smiling sun sticker on its wooden side), and new hi-fi speaker system he recently drove to Upstate, NY to buy.

While the figure might sound outrageous to some, it's not uncommon in the world of high-end headphones; in fact, the world's best sounding headphones often cost several thousand dollars, which would make the B&W P29 Signature entry-level high-end hi-fi (yes, that's a lot of dashes).

Whether it's the high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, crystal clear AMOLED screen, 20MP rear-camera that can capture 4K video or its unbeatable Hi-Fi sound with dual front facing speakers, many consumers would think that this phone would cost well about the $550 average mark for a smartphone today.

But with AVS and ASK, Amazon is paving the way for an entire Alexa ecosystem to emerge – and it's funding startups that have the promise to deliver on that agenda, ranging from kitchen gadgets to intelligent sprinkler systems to wireless hi-fi systems to connected car systems and other items.

The first is a Bang & Olufsen 32-bit digital-to-analog converter and amplifier called the Hi-Fi Plus Module, but it isn't even available in the US.That leaves the US with exactly one module to get excited about, and the Cam Plus module demonstrates the potential of the G53's expandability.

Yet something about it struck a chord with American suburbanites, partly in its ability to finally make good on exactly the sort of out-of-body experiences promised by hi-fi stereo manufacturers, but also as part of a broader trend signaled by floral shirts, rum-infused mixed drinks, and some strange, white-washed approximation of Polynesian cuisine.
|

Audio-Technica's latest models served as the perfect microcosm of the broader industry trend: the company launched a neckbud-style set of hi-fi earbuds with a plastic collar, two pairs of sporty earphones with hooks around the ear, and two over-ear models, one with built-in noise canceling and the other priced at €69.

Mr. Kalin makes refined wood furniture of Shakeresque simplicity, and extremely high-end horn speakers and other bespoke stereo components with Jeffrey Jackson, 218, an engineer and hi-fi designer from Memphis, who moved his entire family (and his collection of World War II-era electron tubes and other audio arcana) here to collaborate with Mr. Kalin.

Once you've got your hands on the finest speaker 100 had to offer, here's what you need to do to get it working with your 2017 iPhone: As my colleague Sam Byford noted, you can simply plug in any number of modern accessories like an Amazon Echo Dot, Google Chromecast Audio, or Bluetooth adapter to add modern wireless functionality to the Hi-Fi.

They write in the Designed for Hi-Fi Living preface: Over time we discovered a couple of kinds of albums that particularly attracted us — those LPs that fit into what we now call the home and away genres, often focused on making the most of your new kitchen and entertaining friends and also leaving home, and traveling, say, to Hawaii.

"We probably come closer to understanding why these album covers matter if we see them more as part of the history of consumer culture and advertising than of music, as, after all, that was their point: they promoted their contents in a lifestyle context," Daniel Miller, an anthropologist of material culture, writes in a foreword to Designed for Hi-Fi Living.

I've had a pair to test for a couple of weeks and there's no chance of mistaking these for anything like hi-fi personal audio, but for the purposes that earbuds like these are typically used — let's call them sport-fi and commuter-fi — they deliver a nice bit of punch and dynamism with vocals that remain strong and prominent even against a background of substantially increased bass.

Lynette was taking in the distinctive, comfortable, expensive room, well lived-in, and its idiosyncratic mixture of old things and modern ones: a worn leather sofa with scuffed cushions, smoldering-red rugs on the dark polished boards, some kind of ancient silk appliqué on one wall, a painted rocking horse, piles of children's books, toys, an elliptical smoked-glass coffee table, a Bose hi-fi, shelves stacked with vinyl.
