    Rogers LS3/5a (BBC) Speaker Review

    I considered buying a pair of these a few years ago because I was looking for speakers that were designed to enhance the frequency band of the human voice. I don't think these were ever designed for music reproduction. I think the BBC wanted to make the news announcers voices delivering the...

    Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

    Rotel Fans Unite! Music Direct is currently a Rotel dealer and has a number of the MKXX series components (pre, amp, cd) on sale as "open box". A few weeks ago I ordered the pre amp RC-1590 MKII (Black) "open box" for $1,840 down from $2,300. Funny thing is, it appears to be new. Was still...

    Looks like the BBC is trying to recycle the article in a very lazy way: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20230601-what-did-stonehenge-sound-like

    ZeroSurge 2R15W Surge Protector Review

    Too true! Currently using network grade power distribution units (PDU's) with resettable breakers for office equip and audio. Built like tanks. So far so good.

    Rotel RB-1070 Amplifier Review

    That's the only issue I've had with this unit. Numerous times when attaching speaker cables I have touched the wires together and blown one or more fuses. Now I keep a supply of those fuses on hand. Oh sure I could just turn the power off before switching cables. And yet I never do. :facepalm:

    Rotel RB-1070 Amplifier Review

    This is my unit I sent in. I bought it new in 2006 at Hi Fi Buys in Nashville, Tennessee. Retail price was $700 but I got it for $650 as part of a matching set with the RC-1070 pre amp, and the RCD 1072 cd player and a pair of Revel Performa M-22 speakers. I still have all the pieces and they...

    Sabaj A10d 2022 Version Review (DAC & Amp)

    A word of warning about the Sabaj A10 D. When I opened the box and plugged mine into a set of Genelec 8010A's I found out very quickly that the Sabaj had been set at the factory to MAX VOLUME. It nearly blew me across the room with sound pressure. Fortunately the Genelecs were not damaged. Not...

    Sabaj A10d 2022 Version Review (DAC & Amp)

    This unit with any of the Genelec 8000 series plugged into the balanced outs and a cheap laptop with all your music on it plugged into the USB in and bada-boom, bada-bing; Reference Level Hi-Fi Audio. And you can take that to the bank.
