BLOG #51. A Quick Reminder on Our Seminal Moment
To commemorate our third anniversary one more time we would like to refresh everybody’s memory here on that seminal interview that I gave to my dear friend Gary Reber, The Editor-In-Chief of Widescreen Review magazine, in 2015.
Gary’s strong support for my ideas has been a crucial factor that did instigate my resolution to start the StereoPravda SPearphone project.

BLOG #48. Reference-Audio-Analyzer.pro Just Published New Sets of Measurements of StereoPravda SPearphone SB-5/SB-7/SB-7A Family of Earphones
As I mentioned on numerous occasions before, the earphone technology based on “passive” implementation of historically happened nomenclature of the current BA-drivers – which is practically unchanged for more than several decades – and even in its multi-way incarnation, allows to build only: either high resolution products, or wide frequency band products (I am talking mostly about low end extension here). But not both at the same time. The only way to “have your cake and to eat it” is via application of a multi-way “active” configuration of separate BA-driver sections, where each earphone section has got some necessary adjustments on the board and is driven but its own separate amplifier. And the latter is exactly what is happening when our SB-7A are driven by our dedicated differential DAC/Control audio processor/two-way separate Amplifiers-in-one DACCA unit. Read more…

BLOG #46. The Doom of Constant Anticipation – Some Personal Impressions from Munich High End Show-2018
...if that surrogate anticipation buzz for “something new” is not dethroned, and if it is not replaced with some clear-cut pathways to the sonic Nirvana - which were fully established a long time ago but seemed to be forgotten by now - the High End Audio community is all doomed to no more than just to roll endlessly its “Sisyphus stones” up to the steep hills of its members’ personal ambitions.

BLOG #41. Manufacturers vs Customers - 50:0 (Some Personal Impressions from the CanJam NYC-2018)
"...during this total technological capabilities’ side transition time – when “the ball” will be in the hands of the customers’ – and not the manufacturers’ – team, we should put all our expectations for some alleged “new” products on hold.
But after that monumental task is accomplished, the next task to provide some appropriate means to uncork audio enthusiasts’ own personal potential for greatness and to satisfy their genuine “crave” – the means which would exploit all 100% of the available technologies’ potential – this next task will be just a trivial one".

A participant of one of the Russian audio forums recently asked me the following question:
«Misha Kucherenko, haven’t [you] thought about releasing a more mass market product in a $500-1000 price range? Say, in order to let the wider audience to get involved instead of just a minor group of elite?”
So, here is my answer…

"...The SB-7 is the most reference and technically the most accurate sounding IEM I have reviewed for 2017…
…Honestly, its just out there as something truly unique and refreshing. We need more people like Misha questioning what is normal and pushing the boundaries of earphone design. If boutique is to survive and if we want this crazy hobby of ours to continue to amaze then more fascinating and brilliant sounding products like the SB-7 are the key".

BLOG #34. A Saturation Point? - Some Personal Impressions From RMAF/CanJam-2017
...portable audio, as a whole, actually, still can’t break from its pedigree of being largely a “mid-fi” industry which, whatever the sonic cost of such an inertial disposition, always tries to avoid any attempt to “rock the boat”.
That’s why it comes as no surprise that I heard some numerous talks at the show about a saturation point, allegedly, reached by the portable audio industry.
Although, personally, I’ve got all the reasons to disagree.

BLOG # 33. A Few Visitors’ Impressions From Our Demo At The CanJam London-2017
"…Although, there were two standouts for me...Second, the rather unknown Stereo Pravda SB-7. An absolute engineering marvel. A true revelation in the IEM market. It was as if I was re-listening to songs I have heard a thousand times over. A gold standard product, one that I hope will catch fire; and the attention it deserves. I will definitely do my best to get a hold of a pair”.
"On sound, the SB7 is divine. The mids are sweet and layered. The stage is holographic. The sound is extraordinarily natural. That is a good finger in my earhole. That is really f***ing excellent, more please.
For me the best measure of the quality of an audio device is how much the headphone sounds like live music. This sounds so much like live music it’s amazing. The soundstage was tall and deep with excellent realism”.
“There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of these guys yet but the Russian StereoPravda will get known very fast, mark my words…the sound simply blows you away. Incredible”.
