KSS Written down by WOJCIECH PACUŁA images by “High Fidelity”, Tomasz Lechowski No 257 October 1, 2025 ⌈ THE KRAKOW SONIC SOCIETY is an informal group of music lovers, audiophiles, and friends who meet together to learn something new about audio products, records, music, etc. The idea for KSS was born in 2005, although its roots go back several years. Below you will find a report from the 153rd meeting. ⌋ THIRTY, MAYBE TWENTY-NINE, or perhaps even thirty-one years ago, Ancient Audio was founded.

Below you will find a report from its 152nd. meeting. ⌋ I OFTEN FEEL that audiophiles treat the topic of linear preamplifiers in much the same way as they treat comparisons between transistor and tube devices, digital and analog sources, and, more recently, the clash between streaming services Tidal and Qobuz – as a matter of faith. The point is that these and other divisions in audio resemble religious feuds, sometimes even battles. It's as if ...

Below you’ll find a report from its 151st meeting. ⌋ IT WAS A SPECIAL DAY, because it was the day of Pope Francis' funeral. The event that had been planned for a long time therefore had a quiet character, even though this time we played music really loud. We started it, by the way, by paying tribute to the deceased, listening to a magnificent excerpt from FRANZ LISZT's Via Crucis, conducted by Leif Ove Andsnes and performed by the Norvegian Soloist ...
