From the album “Remember that you will die” Polyphia has released a single of “Reverie”. Have a sit down and enjoy a listen with me.

In this video I give you a perusal of the album “Remember that you will Die” by Polyphia. It’s spectacular to say the least, check it out with me.

Ok, so this band is one that ends up on priority. Their music has hit me in a way that most bands just don’t achieve. The composition, the vocals, the bass, drums, and combination of it all is epic, brutal, emotive, and intense.

The Attic Records is a shop located in Millvale, just immediately to the northeast of Pittsburgh. It’s a sizable record shop with most shelves that go from floor almost to the ceiling.

The Yamaha CD-S303 would be a great value if it only played compact discs, but you can also plug in a thumb drive full of high-res music files for added versatility. The player’s high-quality digital-to-analog converter reveals plenty of musical detail,…

Next up is the Technics SL 1500C turntable. Depending on your era of existence, also known as a “gramophone” or “record player”. Technics introduced the first direct-drive turntable in 1970, and the company just kind of disappeared for years, and have returned with a top tier line up. The SL-1500C is referred to in audiophile…

In this post I begin the process of detailing my home stereo build for you fellow audiophiles out there.
