AUDIOPHILE AUDITION - web magazine for music, audio & home theater

AUDIOPHILE AUDITION focuses on recordings of interest to audiophiles and collectors, with an accent on surround sound for music, and on all hi-res disc formats.  Over 100 SACD, DVD Video/Audio and standard CD reviews are published during each month, and our archives go back to January 2001.

 

Our monthly drawing/giveaway for July celebrates a banner year in jazz - 1959 - when three classic albums came out: Dave Brubeck's Time Out, Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain, and Charles Mingus' Mingus Ah Um.  Columbia/Legacy has released enhanced 2-CD reissues of all three with additional materials, and the Brubeck set comes with a video DVD of Dave. They will send whichever one is selected by six Audiophile Audition readers who sign up on our Site Registration Page this month (and tell us in the Comments field which one they prefer). The six winners will be announced in early August. For more details see this month’s Editorial Page.
