Dynaudio Contour 30i

|September 2024
Ah, Denmark. Land of the Vikings and blue-eyed, blond-haired folk with faces sculpted just so.

I loved my week there as a Stereophile correspondent and member of a scraggly scrum of audio journalists whisked to DALI headquarters on a promotional junket.
Aside from its universal attractiveness, what struck me during my stay in the southernmost and smallest of the Scandinavian countries was how by North American standards the more densely populated cities I visited, Copenhagen and Aarhus, seemed orderly and clean. Cars, pedestrians, and cyclists kept tightly to their lanes. I saw no cigarette butts on the sidewalk and only sparse pockets of graffiti. There seemed to be a natural, sequential flow to everything-an evenness and balance that was close to idyllic.

Dynaudio doesn't go back quite that far; the company was founded in 1977. Shortly thereafter, the company began manufacturing the drivers used in its speakers; later, it sold its drivers as OEM parts to speaker manufacturers worldwide. That stopped in the early 2000s; then, in 2014, the company sold 83% of its shares to China-based GoerTek, an 80,000-employee electronics manufacturer that supplies parts to Samsung, Apple, and Sony, among other large companies. Dynaudio is GoerTek's first and only high-end audio company acquisition, which made me wonder what would prompt a massive, mainstream company such as GoerTek to get involved with a single Danish high-end speaker company.

The skating force phenomenon
At the beginning of last month's As We See It, I wrote that I've lately been focused on \"analog things.\" I proceeded to write about refurbishing and modding my old McIntosh tuner. That's \"analog thing\" #1.

Umami tunes
If you go to Tokyo, there's a good chance you'll develop a new appreciation for shopping malls. The Japanese know malls. They know just what to do with them. Inside a Tokyo mall, you can peruse the usual handbags and shoes in their unending variety. But you can also stare at Fuji apples as large as a baby's head swaddled in tissue paper, flip through the world's most exquisite stationery, stock up on fabric from the 1920s, and taste things that will haunt you well into retirement.

Who's the next 007?
Walking through any big art museum, even at a brisk pace, it's impossible not to notice how boldly each object wears the unique stamp of its time and place of manufacture.

Doing it for themselves—and for us
Women have undeniably become the most dynamic and vital creative force in music today. Without their good energies and ideas, music, which in the digital age has become more background than art, would be much less interesting and inspiring.

Pablo Records via Granz and Kassem
Way back in my ignorant youth I thought that Pablo Records, the label of jazz producer/promoter legend Norman Granz, was where jazz artists went to fade away, where they were put out to pasture.

Hi-fi for (very) small spaces
For the past few months, I've been getting ready to move. Those of you who've looked for an apartment in New York City know that it may be the single most dismal thing about living here.
