I was sad that back in the day you did not have time to do the listening test for f208 (which I have four), but now I feel it should be safe to extrapolate your positive listening impressions of f206 to f208 Owners of 206/208: do you use the tweeter volume dial at the back to reduce the highs...

Apple, being a US company, is taking down apps of our Russian banks sanctioned by the US. Whether they take down apps at request from Russian gov if they do not violate App Store rules - I am not so sure. Apple is much more cavalier about paying fines to the Russian govt (just a few weeks ago...

Apple user *in Russia* here. We have had all apps of our major banks deleted from App Store last year. So sideloading is critical for us.

Similar problem occurred to me a few days ago: lower midrange level on one of my f208 speakers, but also lower treble and some audible distortion. Living in Russia there is no way of purchasing a single f208 or even a pair now, so this problem made me really sad… until I noticed that one of the...

Sure, but the poll asked how do YOU, the asr reader, listen to audio. Not the general public. I thought that WE, the asr community, try to get the best of what modern technology has on offer when listening to audio.

Jesus, only 9% of us primarily listen to audio (it’s deliberately called audio not music - right?) on 5.x and larger systems! I thought this number should be at least 20%. With all the recent Dolby Atmos masters on Apple/Amazon music etc.

Dying to see how their new AVR’s perform as processors (for those of us who have good amps and don’t need so many channels)

Very well said. I think (but may be mistaken in this) that I can live without Dirac if I’m given manual PEQ adjustments after Audyssey calibration is done.

B&W 702 sold >> Revel f208 x2 pairs bought Sennheiser HDVD 800 sold, Chord Qutest sold >> Sabaj A20d & FiiO Btr7 + bought NAD m28 amp + I too sold all my expensive Acrolink cables + Audioholix measurements made me switch from 2 Revel S510 subs to 2 SVS PB pro 2000

Would be interesting to see how much power is enough to drive a pair of speakers of an average sensitivity if they’re crossed at ~ 80 Hz with subs. If most of the power demand is from bass and below, maybe this small Topping amp is actually enough for even large systems if bass is off-loaded to...

Yeah, who needs such nonsense devices when Denon 3800 (and probably 2800 too) does all the same but so much better + much much more for ~ the same price

Jesus…

Thank you. Comparing FFT and Power vs distortion charts for this amp vs my NAD m28 I am still happy with having the latter. and it costs just ~ half as much with just 1 channel less and it looks nicer and it has RCA inputs to connect to my Denon AVR

Oh, man!… k I’m not big on gear porn but the songs that you provided are fantastic!! Discovered so many new artists that I like. Searched them all on Amazon Music and many are in Ultra HD/Atmos which is great. Listened up to Sara K. so far. Have been stuck to electronic / downtempo music for too...

Yeah, at least ONCE we have to see it for a headphone like this (low distortion, but requires multiple filters)!
