VERY remote this time around….

Rage, rage against the drying of the electrolyte.

Arthur we like you!

If you want @amirm to wind up like this:

It’s like the old saying goes…. You can have it loud. You can have it small. You can have it bassy. You can have it with good FR. Okay, now pick zero.

The bummer of it is they used that beautiful wood to make a great big rectangular prism that looks like trash with the grills off. Grills on they look like slightly taller and more refined version of my Dynaco A35s. I’ll cite this review when I list Dynacos on Craigslist for a grand.

If 80s movies are any guide, Neumann KH80 IV will involve @amirm fighting the Russians.

For those who might be interested, I'd ordered the a pair of M106s from Crutchfield on Saturday, one of which was scratch and dent. As a result of this thread, however, I called Crutchfield this morning to try to get a price match to A&B TV's Open Box price. The representative, who was very...

I start working from home on Tuesday. I am contemplating purchasing my first pair of fancy speakers (Revel M105 or 106) to help cope with being home bound.

Quickly measuring electronics has been a pretty big differentiator for ASR. Other measurements pop up here and there, but not as consistently or comprehensively. Still, for DACs and headphone amps, at least, it seems to me that ASR has identified: the state of the art the best values and the...

So on what basis are we supposed to believe the theory that various companies' pursuit of room correction products merely represents a marketing opportunity for brands and an irrational escalation of commitment for engineers? There is ample reason to distrust the audio industry when it comes...

Mitchco noticed some anomalies in his recent LS50 shootout on computer audiophile, including a “gentle” upward slope at 2 kHz and a lower DI. It didn’t stop him from writing about the passive LS50 in glowing terms. Even praising it as only the second speaker to hit his target curve in room out...
