An audiophile, from Latin audio “I hear” and Greek philos “loving,” is a hobbyist who seeks high-quality audio reproduction via the use of specialized high-end audio electronics.Audiophiles prefer to listen to music at a quality level that is as close to the original performance as possible using high fidelity components. These specialized components include turntables, digital-to-analog converters, equalization devices, preamplifiers and amplifiers. Both high quality solid-state and vacuum tube amplifiers are used. The quest for audio perfection can also include horn loudspeakers or electrostatic speakers, power conditioners, subwoofers and acoustic room treatment.

New video for Little Dragon’s “Brush the Heat” off of their newest album Ritual Union. Check out our post from July 2011 to listen to the album in its entirety.
Here is video for Brush the Heat, by my Dad Yusuke Nagano.
A few years ago, he started doing animations for the first time and made a animated video for Swimming on Machine Dreams. This time he filmed us goofing around in front of a green screen in the basement of his office. So together with his creative partner in crime Olga, who I know worked real hard to make this work without budget n all, they created this video as always surreal n funny. We are so happy to have his expression in the mix! ThankU Dad!!
