“One of the top rigs we heard all weekend.”
Driven by a collection of E.A.R, Townshend, and PranaFidelity components, the Dhyana loudspeakers delivered one of the best sonic performances at T.H.E. Show 2023. T.H.E. Show 2023 had a number of really interesting products and it was hard to leave the Gryphon Audio Designs room because there are few systems that could pull off Tool that authoritatively, but we would […]
“Everything was just right.”
Insiders, intelligentsia, and those-in-the-know, know that Steven Norber has got the mojo — and they know that his demos are always among some of the most engaging, liquid, analog-sounding, and real-to-life to be heard. I say all that because I spent many long years not in the know! Would probably have stayed that way if PTA alumni […]

“Steven Norber’s show systems and demos are always a treat.”
PranaFidelity (website) was running a lovely demo system, and Steven Norber’s show systems and demos are always a treat. The man himself is much like his speakers, understated yet effortlessly classy. I was quietly greeted by him when I sat down for a listen, and he gently encouraged me to take a spin in the sweet spot during […]
“The holiness of the experience had everyone sitting in absolute silence.”
I’ve always enjoyed Steven Norber’s loudspeakers, but the pairing of his brand new Dhara (as in continuous flow) 40lb loudspeakers ($TBD) and Purna/Ma amplifier ($8950) with the late Tim de Paravicini‘s E.A.R. Phono Classic phono preamplifier ($1895 in black or $2395 in chrome) sounded exceptionally fine. Other brands deserve equal credit, but what’s most important to […]
“If you aren’t familiar with Steven Norber and PranaFidelity, you need to get connected with them.”
PranaFidelity’s room was always full – so full in fact we barely got a chance to grab a photo. So we’re reposting @thathifigirl ’s experience in that room instead! But in all seriousness, if you aren’t familiar with Steven Norber and PranaFidelity, you need to get connected with them. Their sound is beyond beautiful. 😉 Posted @withregram • @thathifigirl I left […]
BEST OF SHOW!
Best of Show PranaFidelity PranaFidelity, Merrill-Williams, Helius Designs, Gryphon, Furutech, Artesania I enjoyed this combination of components more than the one I heard at AXPONA 2018 (which sounded great). A simple yet explosively dynamic and natural sound – without an insane price tag. Jazz Variants – O-Zone Percussion Group is a popular test track at the […]

Audio Oasis Award
Now here was a very pleasant surprise…and it was just directly across the hall from the PF hospitality room! In this room, Steven Norber and Ying Tan were running one of the intensely musical spaces at THE Show. The equipment included the PranaFidelity Vayu/fs speakers, the Purna preamplifier and amplifier, and some great sources: A […]
