Tanner Goods for Holden Polaroid Camera Case

07 February 2012, 18.30 | Posted in Art, Gadgets, electronics | No comments »

Case 1 Tanner Goods for Holden Polaroid Camera Case
As we reported here last week, one of our favorite road trip/party/bedroom accoutrements—the Polaroid SX-70—is getting polished up and put in a useful, good-looking kit, thanks to a collaboration between outerwear mavens Holden and analog saviors, The Impossible Project. Now we’ve got some details on the camera case, which is itself a little collaboration between Holden and Tanner Goods—Portland fabricators of heritage leather.

Made from domestically sourced, vegetable-tanned English bridle leather, the hand-stitched camera case should easily outlast anything you put inside it. Of course, it’s meant to hold the SX-70, and, to that end, features a special sleeve pocket for film. Close it all up with a leather flap fitted with a brass knob closure, and you should be very happy indeed.

“[This] is, in essence, everything we love about a collaboration,” Co-Founder and Creative Director of Tanner Goods, Sam Huff, says of the project. “Aside from all of us being fans of the Polaroid medium, the camera itself is one of those iconic designs that is one of our all-time favorites … While Holden and Tanner Goods create products for different markets, we both share a few important ideals: durability, utility and craftsmanship.”

Pentax K-01 Camera - Designed by Marc Newson

Marc Newson touches everything. His latest design work is in the form of a camera with the launch of the Pentax K-01 interchangeable lens system digital camera. The Pentax K-01 features 16 mega pixels of love, the ability to shoot 1080p at 30fps (you get a full 60fps at 720p), and the ability to use any Pentax K-mount lens. The ISO runs the range from 100 through 25,600 is is out of control if you ask me. Pentax say the K-01 camera Pentax K 01 Camera   Designed by Marc Newson shoots “gorgeous noise-free imaging in any lighting condition.”

The real win for those who only care about how much eye-candy they can chew out of their camera-neckwear is the choice of colors: Newson yellow if the big one but for those who prefer black or white or both, you have those options as well. Those hungry for the Pentax K-01 can pre-order now online for $899 Pentax K 01 Camera   Designed by Marc Newson.

Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones – The New Standard?

27 January 2012, 19.00 | Posted in Gadgets, electronics | No comments »

sennheiser rs220 wireless headphones 1 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard?

Sennheiser is touting their new RS 220 ($600) Wireless headphones as playing in the same league as their Sennheiser HD 600 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard? series wired headphones – which themselves are considered industry standard in entry to mid-level audiophile headphones. The idea that a wireless headphone such as the RS 220 could compete on this level is a high step forward in technology itself. The drive inside the Rs220 is actually the same driver in the HD650. That in itself is big, big news.

The conversation regarding the Sennheiser RS 220 v. Sennheiser HD 600 has already begun on the fanatic forums. We ourselves are desperately awaiting a review pair to compare to our own set of HD 650 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard?, just one small step up from the 600. The RS220 comes priced at around $600, just about $250-$275 more than the wired HD600. If they can indeed pull off the high end sound of their wired brothers, the RS220 may be this year’s headphone game changer.

For an excellent Sennheiser wireless headphone for half the money, consider the Sennheiser RS 180 Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones   The New Standard?.

Samsung Audio Docks with Tube Amplifier – Audiophile Level

04 January 2012, 21.30 | Posted in electronics | No comments »

Samsung Audio Dock with Tube Amplifier - Audiophile Level

Samsung looks to make waves with that small but influential niche market of audiophiles with a new audio dock with a built-in tube amps!

Debuting next week at CES, the Samsung DA-E750 and DA-E670 boast 100 wats and 40 watts of power, respectively, and feature Samsung’s new “exclusive hybrid vacuum tube amplifier technology – a digital amplifier’s sharp clarity combined with rich and warm sound performance of vacuum tubes.” Both audio docks also support Galaxy S and Apple devices as well as Apple’s Airplay technology and more.

Audiophiles in the digital realm are all about using uncompressed WAV formats and both Samsung docks support the format, but what looks to be missing is FLAC and support for AIFF formats; they better get both in there as well with the production runs. Nevertheless, we’re excited to hear both in real world settings.
