Nina Simone: Wild Is the Wind
By all accounts, Eunice Kathleen Waymon, aka Nina Simone, who passed in 2003, was a troubled person and a brilliant artist. Why she was not more acclaimed during her lifetime is a question several recent film projects have tried to answer. Did her fierce stand on civil rights lose her fans?

AURAL ROBERT
There's a fear out there, even among jazz cognoscenti, that the music's best years and true geniuses are all part of the past. Even in New York City, the richest magnet for live jazz on earth, it sometimes seems that experiencing generational talent, the kind that once drove the music forward, is now confined to gazing at the famous photos on the walls of the music's most revered shrine, the Village Vanguard.

Gold Note Mediterraneo X RECORD PLAYER
Though the hotel halls of Capital Audiofest 2023 were not as busy as some exhibitors might have hoped, the event's listening rooms were filled to the brim with choice equipment, practically overflowing. One piece that captured my attention was a turntable that embodies thoughtful design and contemporary Italian style: the Gold Note Mediterraneo X ($12,999). This elegant turntable combines traditional materials with touch-friendly digital technology in arresting fashion.

Krell KMA-1800 - MONOBLOCK POWER AMPLIFIER
Ever since I raved about Krell's K-300i integrated amplifier after it was released in early 2019,¹ I've wanted to review other Krell products. After spending more than a year and a half (since its prerelease announcement) awaiting the opportunity to review Krell's new flagship mono power amplifier, the KMA-1800 ($73,000/pair), the time has come.

Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 Signature
Back in August, I received an email from Editor Jim Austin. Subject line: \"Want to do a big review?\" He had my attention. Jim wrote that he had visited Bowers & Wilkins parent company Masimo Consumer in Carlsbad, California, for a demo of the brand-new B&W 801 D4 Signature and 805 D4 Signature loudspeakers. (That visit was chronicled by Jim in the September 2023 Industry Update section.)

I concluded my September 2023 review of this tubed integrated amplifier by writing that the Audio Research I/50 \"is the perfect amplifier for use in a relatively small room with a high quality source and speakers, especially if the latter have a fairly high impedance.
