Pitt & Giblin Superwax Active Loudspeakers
We know Van Diemen’s Land as Tasmania. The Apple Isle. A millennia-old separation from the mainland which formed the small island state. It has its own… vibe. And the state capitol is Hobart, home to beautifully-restored heritage buildings along the harbour’s shoreline. They’re remnants from the colonisers and settlers, contrasting the multi-storey newness of Hobart’s downtown. Barring many software and IT enterprises, Tasmania is not known for high tech manufacturing but is reputed for its cottage artisan industry. The isle will now also be known for a remarkable – and I would stretch it to unique – new loudspeaker company. Pitt & Giblin hit the high-end audio market offering a model duet harmoniously blending tradition with modernity. A reflection of Hobart itself. Here, we look at the mammoth Superwax loudspeaker system, Pitt & Giblin’s flagship offering.

Sonnet Digital Audio Pasithea Digital-to-Analogue Converter
At the time when Sonnet, as it’s more commonly referred to, hit the market with its top-end Morpheus digital-to-analogue converter, the company launched what was to become its reputation snow-ball.

Magico LLC – Advanced Design Insights & Factory Tour
They tell me it’s a dry spell in San Francisco. More of a drought really. So as the aircraft descends without slipping through the lightness of a single cloud, I land at SFO International Airport, having trekked from Sydney via a quick Honolulu gate-skip.

The purpose of my visit? A surprise invitation, weeks prior, from Alon Wolf Magico LLC’s CEO to experience the ideologies and activities at the company’s HQ. And to be blissed-out by a very special musical treat…
