“The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.” – Albert Einstein Designed to standardize connection with computer peripherals, USB interface enables both communication with peripherals and supply of electric power.

Audial model A – Back to the Music

May 11, 2015 / Dalibor Kasac / Articles, News

Reviews of high end equipment are never objective. Actually, the gurus of today’s high end audio scene reject aggressively all projects that contain even a slightest dose of objectivity. I am not going to argue with them, but I am also not going to tell you that Audial model A is an excellent amplifier because […]
