AUDIOPHILE AUDITION focuses on recordings of interest to audiophiles and collectors, with an accent on surround sound for music, and on all hi-res disc formats.  Over 100 SACD, DVD Video/Audio and standard CD reviews are published during each month, and our archives go back to January 2001.
 

This month marks our Tenth Anniversary as a web audio magazine! And we are marking the occasion by awarding the unique video production Coastal Dawns - which we reviewed here - to a dozen AUDIOPHILE AUDITION readers who have registered on this site.   Available only on Blu-ray, Coastal Dawns is a new type of experiential video which makes utmost use of large HD displays and surround speaker arrays for a uniquely relaxing break from whatever you are doing. 12 lucky readers who register on our site this month will receive Coastal Dawns.  See our current Editorial Page for more details.
