    Tekton M-Lore Speaker Review

    Well, the older design, apparently was a Eminence+Vifa. I guess this is beside the point of the thread, but anyway... https://hometheaterreview.com/tekton-design-m-lore-loudspeaker-reviewed/ Point is moot if this is all different stuff now.

    Tekton M-Lore Speaker Review

    Ah, looks quite different from the one I remember. See for example: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/tekton-lore-owners.1465726/page-8

    Tekton M-Lore Speaker Review

    If my ancient memory of this speaker is correct, I thought the theory of the design was that he was running the woofer as a full-range. So in effect, there would only be crossover features going to the tweeter. (I could be completely wrong, but that is what I thought the theory of the design was.)

    I printed a label and stuck it on my remote on my A90 discrete: "B" button volume scaling use val=1 I just know I'm going to forget what the "B" button does in about 1 week from now.... :confused:

    New Fosi Audio V3 Mono vs Topping PA5 II vs Topping PA7 (inc. 'Plus' versions)...and Aiyima A70

    I am curious which voltage regulator will be inside the Fosi V3 Mono. I noticed that the late Michael Beeny had suggested that some of the earlier TPA3255 burn pile might have been generated from not using something capable. His example of capable is...

    Uh, we're talking about the A70 in this thread, not the A07... https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/aiyima-a70-stereo-amplifier-review.52830/

    Topping PA7 Plus Amplifier Review

    For a purist music listening setup, I would probably avoid having an AVR in the chain. And for the KEF R3, you might want to go a slight step higher in the amp world as well. You have some cleaner amp examples in the 1ET400A for example. For a desktop 2-way speaker setup or small room 2-way...

    Why is everyone using USB/XMOS. Why not PCIE SPDIF Out?

    With all the hype about Thunderbolt 4 lately, I'm surprised the discussion didn't go that way. In any case, refereshed some old memories with this SOS article, and poked around looking at what UAD has for their stuff... lots of Thunderbolt 3. https://www.uaudio.com/audio-interfaces.html...

    HIDIZS S8 USB-C Headphone Adapter Review

    I have an S9 driving some HD600's, which I believe are 300ohm. No complaints.

    Apple Announces Next-Generation M1 Pro and M1 Max Chips

    So, the move from M1 to M1 Pro gets you... 1) double the die size (transistor count), 2) go from 4x4 to 6x8 on performance-cores to efficiency cores, 3) double the GPU cores, and 4) move from 64-bit to 128-bit memory and 5) up the memory clock from 2133 to 3200. So yeah, that probably gets you...

    Dual Merus MA12070 Amplifier Sabaj A20 fully balanced : pictures inside )

    That track put one of my old 90 wpc vintage receivers into protection mode. I'm wondering if using that track is not a "normal" sort of test. I mean, is the peculiarity of that track anything like anything you would ever listen to? ( I listen to Jimmy Haslip, and have never seen a problem...

    Dual Merus MA12070 Amplifier Sabaj A20 fully balanced : pictures inside )

    Could be something vibrating against the chassis. I would probably open it up and check for solder junk, or wires and nuts...
