Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Victrola is an audio brand with a history stretching back more than a century — to 1906 to be precise. These days the company is probably best known for inexpensive, vintage inspired all-in-one and suitcase style record players. However, this year Victrola made a move into more modern looking, elegant systems including much more capable turntables. They’re calling this the Premiere series. I just wrapped up the evaluation of the Victrola Premiere V1 Music System , a $499.99 offering that includes a stereo audio cabinet with a top-mounted turntable, Bluetooth streaming, and a wireless subwoofer. Adding to its cred, this system was a CES 2022 Innovation Award winner . Victrola V1 Setup The V1 arrived in a single box, well-packaged with egg crate padding and each piece nicely wrapped in protective cloth. Victrola includes a very handy, super-sized (printed on a piece of cardboard the size of the box) quick setup guide that … [Read more...] about Review: Victrola Premiere V1 Music System With Built-In Turntable, Soundbar, Wireless Subwoofer

(AP Photo/Richard Drew, File) For decades, Placido Domingo, one of the most celebrated and powerful men in opera, has tried to pressure women into sexual relationships by dangling jobs and then sometimes punishing the women professionally when they refused his advances, numerous accusers told The Associated Press. Regarded as one of the greatest opera singers of all time, Domingo also is a prolific conductor and the director of the Los Angeles Opera. The multiple Grammy winner is an immensely respected figure in his rarefied world, described by colleagues … [Read more...] about Women accuse opera legend Placido Domingo of sexual harassment

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Companies around the world are making customer experience (CX) the top priority according to Harvard Business Review Analytical Services (HBRAS). But to do so takes more than lip service. To deliver an experience that customers value, you have to 1) know them, 2) organize around their unique expectations throughout their journey, and 3) serve them personally and in real-time. But companies aren’t there yet, not even close. In fact, HBRAS found that only 16% of CX-driven companies have a single (360-degree) view of customers. Even so, they lack the organizational structure to make use of those insights. It’s one thing to say you’re “customer-centered,” it’s entirely different when your company is literally organized around the customer. As customer expectations and behaviors evolve along with times, trends, tastes, and technologies, CX becomes intrinsic to business success. When you consider how the customer experiences your … [Read more...] about Becoming A Customer Company: The New Blueprint For CX-Driven Business Transformation

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As a review of consumer audio, I often get asked: “What are the best headphones or earbuds you’ve ever tested?” Other times, people might ask which headphones I’d recommend they buy if money were no object. However, it’s always been difficult for me to recommend a product because people want different things from their headphones. For example, some people think they want a big fat bass and lots of detail in the treble because they once heard a pair of earphones tuned that way and had their sonic socks blown off. Unfortunately, overblown designs may be impressive at first, but they’ll soon make your ears tired and they distort the music, making it sound nothing like the artist and recording engineer intended. To know if you like a pair of earphones or headphones, you must spend time listening to them, using music you know and love well. Only that way can you know whether a pair of earphones can reproduce music the way you … [Read more...] about Campfire Audio’s Trifecta IEMs Are Probably The Best You’ll Ever Hear

Pianist Lim Dong-hyek perfoms at his 20th anniversary concert. [YONHAP] Prosecutors dropped a charge of sexual harassment against pianist Lim Dong-hyek. Last June, Lim's ex-wife accused him of sending her unwanted pornographic images and messages through the KakaoTalk messenger app and email during the couple's divorce suit, which took place in 2019, and again in 2021 after the divorce was complete. Police handed the case over to prosecution last October, but prosecutors decided not to indict him saying it was "difficult to prove inappropriate sexual intentions." Although Lim's name was never disclosed during the suit, local media outlets reportedly narrowed down potential suspects and alleged that it was the classical musician. “The day when I can finally speak for myself has finally come," he wrote in an Instagram post Tuesday along with a picture of a letter from the prosecution informing Lim the charges against him had been dropped. "I had to continue playing my piano … [Read more...] about Sexual harassment charge dropped against pianist Lim Dong-hyek
