    Do Audio Speakers Break-in?

    My speakers sounded great right out the box and still do. If I don't play them for a few days, then play them, they still sound great. Glad I didn't buy Audio Note AN-E's - would suck to buy speakers that sound crap, then sound good but if I don't use them I have to wait 10 hours for them to...

    SMSL VMV D3 Review (R2R DAC)

    That's splitting hairs - that's like me being a film critic, not liking a movie I watched and letting the director know but nobody else knows what I think. His reasoning is summarised as: - it's easy for me to select what I review - I like to watch movies with happy endings - do you really...

    The best way to bring audio enthusiasts from the dark side and see the light?

    Bit of a catch 22 then because we are naturally biased towards subjectivity - and vision contributes 80%+ to that. So if the goal is to move more people towards Class D (for cost, environmental, better sound etc reasons) then they need to be more visually appealing, more tactile, better design...

    The best way to bring audio enthusiasts from the dark side and see the light?

    I cannot say I fully understand the Class D amplifier approach. In my simplistic understanding, it seems like different manufacturers use the same/similar modules, add a few bells and whistles (or not), put it all in a different box and that's it? Looking at the insides of the ones I've looked...
