    Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

    Right Vladimir. that's indeed complete BS. Please, everybody, stop discuss about technology in this thread, especially when you obviously don't know what you're talking about, and post beautiful speakers. Ok, taste is a subjective matter, but there are limits to bad taste and stop deviate...

    Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

    I didn't know speakers were made back in 1772. That's great news, history of technics revisited:D As for the speakers, I totally dislike the biggest- it looks definitely terrible to my taste- but I'm not sure of my own feeling for the little egg shaped one : do I find it awful or cute ...

    CHORD Alto Headphone/Power Amp Review

    Well, I have to admit i'm feeling puzzled by this review and by the final Amir recommandation. First, I have to repeat I deeply respect Amir's job in testing and reviewing a lot of different devices, in complete indpedence. That's great for all music lovers and audio enthusiasts. So this is not...

    Topping B200 Monoblock Amplifier Review

    But what are you looking for ? What you write is true for any power amp. Amir measures a product on its own, for this amp like for any other device he has tested. Measure a full system is quite a different story. What do you mean by a whole system ? Should he measure as a whole the preamp, and...

    Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Class-D Power Amp

    Your post isn't easily understandable, you know : no capital letters, no space, no distinct paragraphs, a real pain to read, very sorry to tell frankly. You speak of a N2000A ? which device is it ? You know, I don't remember all the references if you don't specify the type of device and its...

    Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Class-D Power Amp

    It changes (a little bit) the concern on the B100. The initial problem was your Dac, not the amp. A big burst on/off is a design flaw too, the kind of noise I definitely dislike anyway. Of course, the protection circuit of the B100 should have been more robust, Topping's designers love to play...

    Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Class-D Power Amp

    But which failures exactly ? Initially, you spoke about security flaws. Please give us more details about what happened. Was it minor failures due to a random lack of quality control ? That can be easily improved by the maker if he really cares about his customers (but does he actually cares ?)...

    Impressions: SMSL PA200 GAN FET Class-D Power Amp

    @Eddnod : I don't know if Gan Fets and super high switching frequency prove or not real sound benefits. That's highly controversial. Anyway, what matters in the end is sound and reliability. It seems you've got it all with this PA200, and that's fine. Maybe I would go for these amps in bridge...

    Ugliest component ever created

    But that's Art, man ! :DIt's written in the brand logoI :facepalm:wonder if this "thing" emulates the sound of a Lambo, which would be even uglier than this object. By the way, as for luxury cars, I've never beeen a fan of Lamborghini's style, macho hype ugliness. Ferrari and Porsche are much...

    Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

    An old Dali model as a big classic 3 way. I didn't know it. Looks fine. Technically, it should be fine fine too. Any other information and documents about this speaker ?

    What Speakers Would You Like Amir To Measure Next?

    Yep ! Good find. A well designed and built speaker on a very tight budget. Quite nice, I hope too a review very soon.

    Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

    The more I look at this thread, the more I think it should be renamed "weirdest -or ugliest- speakers in the world". Of course, among all these 243 pages, a minority of pretty looking speakers (and rarely quite beautiful ones) can be found, but mostly, the models shown are testimonies of bad...

    Thinking of going Class D

    Well it all depends on what you're looking for : conveniency, small format and integration with a quite decent quality and power, have a try with the Wiim amp pro, or better and just sightly more expensice, their upcoming more powerful integrated, planned to be released next month Vibelink Wiim...

    Behringer EP2500 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Lab amps ? You mean Lab Gruppen ? (I haven't found another "Lab" brand for amps)

    Behringer EP2500 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Amir's conclusion of this test sounds a bit stange to me : OK, a professionnl amp has to be powerful, but not only, so i don't think this amp "does the job" good as Amir wrote. There are tons of pro amps not very expensive which offer better performances and are much lighter and less noisy...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Yes, with sophisticated equiment and a full set of measurements, because timber has objectve characteristics. Of course, it's perceived subjectively, just like everything in life, that's the reason why, for example, people with a bad audition are able, however, to distinguish immediately a...

    Solid State Logic SSL 2 MKII vs. Topping Pro E2x2 OTG (Audio Interfaces) Comparison Review and Measurements

    Very nice review, a lot of work in tests, and very well explained, congrats ! I like the idea of comparing other budget audio interfaces. Interfaces have more functionnalities than more expensive Dacs/headphones and nowadays, their performances are definitely not ridiculous compared to good...

    Arendal 1528 high end speakers

    Yes, a resemblance for looks, but drivers and concept are quite different. By the way, the Beovox S80.2 were very good speakers, B&O is too often wrongly dispised by audiophiles. Too bad B&O has gone the way for pure design for very fluent people. But they always have a strong expertise.

    analog vs digital recording

    That's always the same old story : analog is better, bla bla bla... If not for the sound, it's for conveniency in recording, mixing and on and on.... This is untrue, period.
