Online Site Offering More Hi-Res Disc Reviews Than Any Other Publication
(For release Feb. 8, 2006)
AUDIOPHILE AUDITION is an established music-oriented online web magazine
at www.audaud.com catering to record collectors, audiophiles and home
theater buffs. It began life nationally in 1985 as a one-hour weekly
radio series carried on up to 200 outlets - both NPR and commercial
stations. Eight years ago program host John Sunier - author of three
books in the home electronics field - transitioned the program's website
into an online publication, which is now updated many times weekly, and
reaches 180,000 readers per month who purchase the recordings, AV
components and loudspeakers reviewed on the site.
AUDIOPHILE AUDITION covers a variety of music genres as well as video
DVDs, and emphasizes Surround Sound for Music. It supports the
progression of audio and video technologies toward higher resolution.
Over 100 disc reviews from 20 writers are published monthly - split
between hi-res formats and standard CD releases. Sections of the site
include SACDs & DVD-As, DualDiscs, Classical, Pop/Rock, DVD Videos,
Jazz, Reissues, Audio News, Component Reviews, and Features of the Month.
Surround sound is well accepted by the general public for films, both in
movie theaters and in the home. 36% of U.S. households now have surround
sound components and speakers for playing Dolby or DTS soundtracks on
video DVDs and 80% have at least one DVD player. AUDIOPHILE AUDITION's
mission is to get consumers to make the leap from viewing movies with
surround sound to sitting down to listen to music (without screen
images) reproduced with the glorious enhancement of surround sound.
AUDIOPHILE AUDITION seeks to educate the public about the two recent
hi-res formats, which so far have shown only minimal sales. Most sales
of SACDs and DVD-As take place online, so fans of the formats appreciate
the prodigious number of reviews published on the site. The publication
is joined in this effort by another online site covering both new
formats, plus one covering only SACDs. However, AUDIOPHILE AUDITION has
the highest rank and the most readers of the three.
Another mission is to counteract iPod-type data-reduction compromises to
high quality audio. AUDIOPHILE AUDITION supports and reviews hi-res
formats such as SACD - which boasts 64 times the resolution of standard
CDs and provides up to six channels instead of just two. The trend is
toward AV technology which surpasses both the present popular though
obsolescent CD and DVD formats, and AUDIOPHILE AUDITION serves sound
buffs and collectors by staying in tune with this trend.
AUDIOPHILE AUDITION - www.audaud.com & www.audiophileaudition.com - is a
unique online publication for disc collectors, audio buffs and home
theater enthusiasts. All genres of music recordings are reviewed, with
an accent on hi-res and surround sound.
