Legendary Music Producer Quincy Jones Has Passed
We are saddened to report that Quincy Jones, the legendary music producer, composer, and arranger, has passed. His enormous career left an indelible mark on the music industry throughout his illustrious career. Born on March 14, 1933, in Chicago, Jones began his musical journey as a trumpeter before transitioning into a groundbreaking producer and arranger. He worked with an astonishing array of artists, from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, and was instrumental in the creation of some of the most iconic albums in history, including Jackson's Thriller, which remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. Jones was a true innovator, blending various musical styles, including jazz, pop, and classical, which allowed him to transcend genres and reach a global audience.

UK Audio Show 2024 Show Report The Chester Group's UK Audio Show 2023 At The Staverton Park Hotel

UK Audio Show 2024 Show Report
Discovering many glorious new companies and equipment too!
UK Audio 2024 Show Report By Clive Meakins
UK Audio Show was very enjoyable, I came across companies and equipment that were new to me. There was innovative thinking in evidence too. I also very much enjoyed the Alphason technical session where the highly experienced Mike Knowles clearly was very on top of his subject. The Bob Harris sessions were a masterstroke, they combined a love of music with highly interesting tales from the music industry. The UK Audio Show at the Staverton Park Hotel, Daventry, UK took place 5th and 6th of October 2023. The show was expertly organized by Chester Group who operate internationally and has been running the UK show since 1997, however, times are a-changin'. Not long before the show it was announced that Stereonet – a sponsor of the show – will be taking over for next year.

Siltech Master Crown Cables Review

World Premiere Review
Siltech Master Crown Cables Review
A first listen to the paragon in today's world of connectology.
Review By Greg Weaver
During the third week in June, I was invited to attend a limited press event in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The event was sponsored by Monarch Systems, based in Englewood, CO, Siltech's US Importer, to introduce and promote the launch of Siltech's new flagship line of cables, Master Crown. I reported on that event here, at Enjoy the Music.com, on June 29th, with Siltech Launches Master Crown Cables. I also provided coverage on my audio analyst YouTube channel, with E181: Siltech's Master Crown Cable, on June 30, 2024 (video is near the bottom of this review). The company was founded with the inspired efforts of two music students, Hans de Ligt and Michel de Goey. These two were exploring the fabrication of cables, not by chance, luck, or intuition, but by applying science and metallurgical knowledge.

Furutech NCF Power Vault, Project V1 Power Cable And AC Duplex Wall Ensemble Review

Furutech NCF Power Vault, Project V1 Power Cable And AC Duplex Wall Ensemble Review
Elevating the performance of my stereo sound system.
Review By Rick Becker
I opened a promotional email recently for a $12,000 mountain bike. What planet am I living on? And yes, I've seen the drone footage of cyclists hopping along mountain precipices proving their immortality. Or perhaps the drone footage outlives them? But then I reflected on the $7,875 Furutech NCF Power Vault and the accompanying  Project V1 Power Cable for $9,550 I had opened up for review moments earlier. Expensive? Yes, for most of us. As we get older our interests in life narrow to what becomes most important to us. My last bicycle ride up Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina was in 2018 when I closed down my retail furniture business. My writing for Enjoy the Music.com, already with a 19-year track record at that point, expanded to fill a void in my life, just as I imagine high-end audio becomes more important to many of us after we "retire."

Manley Labs Oasis Vacuum Tube MM / MC Phono Stage Review

Manley Labs Oasis Vacuum Tube MM / MC Phono Stage Review
Manley Labs vacuum tube Oasis phono stage produces excellent sound quality.
Review By Tom Lyle
My first experience with a Manley component was in the late 1990s. I was working at a well-known recording studio mastering an album when the chief engineer insisted we use their vacuum tube-powered Manley Stereo Variable Mu Limiter-Compressor, which I had no idea at the time was one of Manley's first products which was introduced in 1994. We had the music signal pass through the Manley compressor but kept all its settings on default. This happened quite a long time ago, so I can't recall any specifics about how the Manley affected the album's sound quality other than passing the signal through this studio component made the album sound closer to our goal of making it "sound like a record." Shortly after, I learned that Manley designed and manufactured high-end home-system audio products.
