The Best High-end Audio Blogs of 2014 are a varied bunch.
I think we are uniquely qualified to judge who the best blogs are because:
1) Although we have a fairly successful blog, we actually acknowledge that other blogs / magazines exist
2) We list all of them in the Audiophiles Guide: High-end Audio Blogs.
3) We carry all those that can be carried on the Ultimist high-end audio news page
So, like our show reports where we go to each and every room, we read each and every blog [off and on, we don’t click through to read every single post!]. However, in the end, this is a purely subjective choice.
Drum roll… roll… roll…
1. Mono and Stereo
By shear breadth of coverage and frequency of posts, these guys are dominating the blogosphere in the Audiophile World. The stories are not as in-depth as we would like, and hardly any thought pieces, but these guys have tapped the mainline of what is happening in high-end audio.
2. Two Good Ears
Something about the vibe; the immediacy of the portrayal of a life of an audiophile; the international, welcoming feel that makes this a water-cooler type hub for what is happening in the Audiophile World. A nice place to hangout.
3. Can’t think of a 3. [Not that there aren’t a ton of good ones, but none seem to stand out as I write this]
Runner ups:
Audiophile Magazine (French). In-depth editorials that address serious issues in our community.
6moons. We like the new design of the front page. A minor change but much easier on the old noggin.
A few really good posts on the passing of Harry Pearson:
* Jonathan Valin on Harry Pearson
* Jonathan Valin also had a great post on the 40th anniversary of TAS, which included a lot about HP, but for some reason it seems to have been pulled down? I do not remember it being at all inappropriate. Hmmm….
* Mike Fremer on Harry Pearson
