Monitors from....Neumann? Awesome!
At AES last weekend I attended the Neumann press conference where they introduced their new product line. Neumann, incredibly well known for their stellar microphones have finally come out with their own line of reference monitors.
And what great monitors they are too. The Neumann KH120 look a little small to compete in the bass department but let me tell you: They had other similarly sized monitors running for their money. Great bass response and awesome clarity. I heard them A/B'd with and without a sub-woofer and believe me if you want but I felt like they didn't really need more bass. Small but full range? Crazy!
And here's the kicker. The moment that had the journalists gasping. Going price on release? $1,500. For a pair!
So if you are in the market for a small quality monitor then Neumann might have something that you might be interested in.

Vovox Cables at AES 2010
If there is one incredible thing I've heard at AES 2010 it's VOVOX Cables.
I sat down with the founder, who took a different strategy to creating cables; not from the electrical engineering standpoint but the material science standpoint. And guess what? These cables really make a difference. I could easily hear the difference in sound from one to the other.
I sat down in a simple A/B testing booth listening to some Kings of Leon back and forth between the two speakers, one pair with Vovox, one without them. It's easy to be skeptical of cables, since you would always assume there is a certain limit or threshold to the quality. But I couldn't believe my ears. I've never heard a cable be able to make a song sound deeper and more clear. The high mid distortion was gone and the only thing that was left was a really great song played through amazing speakers upheld by a clear over the top quality of the cables.
Don't take my word for it. Check out their website or if you are at AES just hear it for yourself.
