Oct 9, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoBefore Petter Ericson Stakee stepped inside an abandoned church-turned-studio in upstate New York to record a solo album, he was touring the country on the heels of his former band’s 2012 studio-produced album. Together with bassist Terry Wolfers, the duo called Alberta Cross, had claimed their stake in the music community with features on TV shows such as Sons of Anarchy and Californication. ...

Oct 1, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichInstead of creating headphones strictly for the audiophile, PRYMA is setting their sights on the fashion-forward affluent buyer who wants to look just as good as their music sounds. Launched by World of McIntosh and made in Italy at the Sonus Faber factory, PRYMA headphones definitely have the aesthetic part down. ... Read More | 
Sep 28, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichHow much is music worth to you? Berkeley, California-based Spiral Groove is hoping the answer is $30,000. Their new SG1.2 turntable is a heavier improvement on their award-winning SG1.1, which was released in 2007. The SG1.2 features a redesigned aluminum platter (which helps to add those 20 pounds) and revamped Strange Attractors feet that apparently limit vibration. ... Read More | 
Sep 16, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichInstead of simply celebrating Frank Sinatra’s centennial birthday once, Fontainebleau Miami Beach is in the middle of a 100-day countdown where they offer special programming that highlights the Sultan of Swoon’s legacy. Why Sinatra? ‘Ole Blue Eyes spent a lot of his time at Fontainebleau—he even had his own permanent penthouse suite on the 17th floor—and performed several sold-out midnight shows at the hotel’s La Ronde Supper Club, alongside Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford. ...

Sep 10, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichJune may be the month for weddings, but it seems like someone we know is getting married every other week, which means there are a lot of gift registries to wade through. Instead of working off the couple’s pre-chosen list of mixers and Bone China, how about you gift the original manuscript for Here Comes the Bride? That’s right, the super old Richard Wagner tune that was originally titled Bridal Chorus is on sale through Moments in Time for $3.6 million. ... Read More | 
Aug 27, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichYou may already have favorite tech brands that you turn to for everything, but sometimes it’s a good idea to branch out and see what else is available. Erzetich Audio released Deimos, their prestige dual-mono headphone amplifier, just last year and we have to admit, it looks stunning. Made up of steel, aluminum, acrylic and a rustic wood face, the amp features digital volume control, linear display, and three separate power supplies (two analog and one digital). It promises a headphone impedance of 8-600 ohm, a 4 Hz-40 kHz frequency response, and 43000 uF smoothing capacitors per channel. We don’t know about you, but we certainly want to hook in now. ...

Aug 24, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichDelivering a surround sound-like experience from a surprisingly compact design, Grain Audio’s Packable Wireless System (PWS) is definitely one of the better Bluetooth speakers we’ve tried. Not only does it sound great, it doesn’t look like it’s trying too hard to be cool. Wrapped in FSC certified walnut wood which promises to “naturally augment acoustics,” the PWS gives crisp tunes that sound freshly-recorded. ... Read More | 
Aug 11, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichAtlantic City has pledged to bring us more non-casino-based attractions and we are happy to see that that involves Adam Levine on a beach. Joined by Nick Jonas and Matt McAndrew, Levine will be taking the stage with Maroon 5 on August 16 for one heck of a show. Though regular tickets are still available, the two VIP packages are really the only way to go if you want to see Levine up close and personal. You may even be close enough to pretend he is still single. ... Read More | 
Aug 7, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichDesigned for the shape of our hands, the Aether Cone ($399) is a beautifully simple wireless speaker that reminds us of a megaphone. Available in black and copper or white and silver, the “thinking music player” learns what you like, when you like it. Meaning, if you always crank The Weeknd in the mornings, Cone will know and make it happen. ... Read More | 
Jun 26, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoWhen Washington D.C. politicians, socialites, and high-profile community leaders get together in ornate gowns, perfectly tailored suits and cocktails in hand, significant changes are sure to follow. Each year, the District holds some of the best galas, balls and events that bring a community of world-changers together to fundraise in lavish ways. ... Read More | 
Aug 4, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichEveryone’s favorite Material Girl is gracing the real estate market once again, but it’s giving everyone some major déjà vu. Back in 2012, Madonna listed her Sunset Boulevard mansion for $28 million, which was then dropped to $22.5M and eventually sold for $19.5M a year later. Now, the home is up for grabs again, but this time for $27.9M—until it’s eventually lowered, that is. The thing is that the home, though fresh to the market, doesn’t offer new photos or information. In fact, the description and images are simply copied from the 2012 ad. ... Read More | 
Jul 27, 2015 | Contributor: Kellie K. SpeedAudiophiles, prepare yourselves, because the sound of music is about to get so much better.

Jul 17, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichThere’s no way Marshall’s first smartphone isn’t an homage to The Clash’s infamous third album, London Calling, but that makes us love it even more. Without warning yesterday, the brand announced their plans to release London, a retro-styled Android phone that will immediately be a hit with diehard music lovers. ... Read More | 
Jul 13, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichEvery year, networks and studios have to really do their best to wow fans and cosplayers at Comic-Con, and they certainly outdid themselves this time—just maybe not in the way you assumed. Though some of 2015’s most anticipated panels were worth the wait (holy moly, Star Wars), others failed to deliver anything new (like the contractually-silenced Game of Thrones cast). ...

Jun 30, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichIt’s official, Amazon definitely knows how to create video advertisements, because the above clip for the Echo is incredibly convincing.
