I don’t think there’s ever been a time in HFC’s history where we’ve been privileged to feature so much exciting new kit and thankfully there’s no sign of that number abating. In this heady rush to deliver and discover fresh stuff, there are still many quality products that have been on the market for a while worthy of celebrating. So, with this in mind, we’ve broken with tradition in our Group Test this month and pitched three new amplifiers against a trio of modern classics to see whether everyone is playing catch up or if there
really is genuine advancement and innovation at play. Elsewhere you’ll find an appreciation of PJ Harvey, a five-star review of Kendrick Lamar’s new album and a rant about the multiple pitfalls of using a secondary ticketing agency. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!

What is actually the best way of recording the sounds we desire to hear? That’s the very question we muse over in this issue. Is it half-speed mastering? Should it be at 33 or 45rpm? Should it be truly analogue or in reality is digital better? Neville Roberts sits in on a recording session especially set up to test these theories. We’ve even put some recorded samples online so you can have a listen yourself and decide your preference.

Elsewhere in the issue there’s a six-way Group Test of top wireless speakers, news of tons of ace new kit in our Audiofile section, plus an homage to the mighty Black Sabbath who sound pretty good to me any old way you choose to blast ‘em. Plenty to enjoy...
