    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    Many commentators then, and a nice system. Strange feeling to apparently be the only one who can hear the notable (noted) distinctions! :) But more seriously, I am amazed that even the Valve Sound option is not obviously distinct (although I could understand greater difficulty in...

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    Sorry to hear that, as it were :). There are very audible differences (particularly on the 'Valve Sound' option) on my set-up. These are especially obvious regarding bass reproduction, dynamics and imaging. I expected that to be a universal outcome, which underpins my curiosity regarding their...

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    To be honest, I do the same. I experimented with the 'valve' and the 'transistor' options and couldn't understand how these really were high fidelity options. I imagine that some do use these and am curious to know how and why. I expect that you are correct and it will be taste and system...

    Genelec 8361A Review (Powered Monitor)

    I know. It was a more tongue in cheek response around really ridiculous outgoings for hifi. As a home user of modest means, I hear you. :):)

    Genelec 8361A Review (Powered Monitor)

    I know the price tag seems high. However, when you consider what sonic gifts the proud owner can appreciate, it seems a true bargain. This all the more so when we remember the price tag for a passive speaker (without amplification, subs, cable etc) such as the Hart Audio D&W Aural Pleasure. :oops::)

    Genelec 8361A Review (Powered Monitor)

    I agree about the aesthetic challenge of the W371A's. A hurdle for home use, that many of us just can't negotiate!! Pity!!
