Ken Micallef talks with Gary Gill about what we can expect to see and hear at SouthWest Audio Fest 2026 in a video interview that's now posted on our YouTube channel.

When she was three years old, I watched my daughter operate a drinking fountain for the first time. As she leaned in, she loosened her grip on the button, cutting the flow. She tried this several times, with admirable persistence but zero success. Eventually she had an idea: Lean in first, then press the button. That worked, kind of: She got a noseful of water (footnote 1). On the next attempt, the water squirted into her mouth. The delighted look on her face suggested—correctly—that she'd solved something important.
That makes her at least as smart as a sulphur-crested cockatoo. Last…
In these Amazon days, retail customers need a good reason to enter any brick-and-mortar store. When you can buy anything and everything you want online, you need a reason to get up off the sofa. Especially when spending discretionary money, people want not only good products but good experiences. What better way to improve the experience than to provide a little lubrication?
Combining hi-fi with wine, beer, or spirits is hardly a new idea, but such events may be growing more frequent. Last year, I attended an event that combined tasting rare whisky and the launch of some new speakers at…
At SouthWest Audio Fest 2026, Playback Distribution's Rob Standley talks about the company's latest offerings, including the Dual CS 529 turntable, Advance Paris A-I190 Nova integrated amplifier, and Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand Reference speakers in an interview with Ken Micallef that's now posted on our YouTube channel.
The surprising system in the Playback Distribution room at SouthWest Audio Fest 2026 seemed to do it all. It ably handled turntable duties, DSP expansion—the works.

At SouthWest Audio Fest 2026, Steven Rabitz (at center in the thumbnail) and James Harvell (left) of Altec Lansing, along with Hans Loomans of Infigo Audio (right), talk about the gear seen and heard in Austin Ballroom 3—including Altec Lansing Ribbonacci Reference loudspeakers and the Infigo Audio Method 4 DAC—in an interview with Ken Micallef that's now posted on our YouTube channel.
Perhaps it goes without saying that the Altec Lansing system cast a soundstage as wide as Montana in Austin Ballroom 3 at SouthWest Audio Fest 2026, with enough scale to squeeze in the…
At SouthWest Audio Fest 2026, Pilot Radio's Barak Epstein talks about the company's tube-based legacy, its Pilot Preamplifier, and 232 stereo power amplifier in an interview with Ken Micallef that's now posted on our YouTube channel.
In the Pilot Radio room at SouthWest Audio Fest, I asked CEO Barak Epstein to cue up Donald Fagen's 1982 solo debut, The Nightfly—perhaps an unlikely first spin for gear with this kind of tube pedigree.
The Nightfly is a pristine recording, and it showed: all of its snap, clarity, and spatial layering was present and impactful.…
