    The Courteous Vinyl Playback Discussion

    I would guess the red and blue curves have an aggressive rumble filter, and the green curve is experiencing 'rumble'? The blue seems to be the 'winner'

    The Courteous Vinyl Playback Discussion

    I have got a lot of value out of mining the Korf blog for tonearm, drive systems, and cartridge discussions. He has measured results and interactive graphs to show direct AB comparisons of many aspects of cartridge and tonearm interactions. i have also have a few conversations with him. He is...

    Question for users of less expensive music streamers - How are you using them?

    You are fine with USB hard drives. It is a good idea to implement some sort of routine backup. It can be, cloud, automated software or just labour. Music files are ultimately pretty small in the grand scheme.

    Question for users of less expensive music streamers - How are you using them?

    I use a Mac Mini as the host for my Plex server, with all my music and video files stored on a NAS with 80TB of storage. At-Home Playback: I use an Apple TV, which runs native Plex and other streaming apps. It's connected to both my TV and hi-fi system, allowing me to stream local music files...

    Stereophile doubles down on the snake oil!

    I'm sure the US is the leading consumer for hifi and cables. Overall uncertainty on international trade and tariff policy likely has the entire industry in turmoil to some extent. Some manufacturers are likely getting hit twice on raw materials and components, and some are taking a full brunt of...

    New Klipsch La Scala AL6 and Klipschorn AK7

    The new La Scala uses a 12" woofer instead of a 15" in the doghouse. Appears they are porting the doghouse into the throat of bass horn to get the added bass extension. Below about 100hz the the bass bin is no longer acting as a horn but as a sealed box -- now its a ported enclosure... Im not...

    Does Op-amp Rolling Work? [Video]

    As a layman, I see op-amp rolling as an extension of the broader audio hobby—very similar to tube rolling in valve amps. The idea of swapping out components to "tune" the sound feels like a natural evolution of the enthusiast mindset. My gut tells me this entire concept was likely created—or at...

    Topping B200 Amplifier Review [Video]

    Thanks for the reply Amir. Any issues using the Pre90 in the -15 t0 -25 range with the B200s in low gain mode? Or should I stick to high gain?

    Topping B200 Amplifier Review [Video]

    Question regarding the B200 gain settings: I am using the Pre90 and a pair of B200s to power my Klipsch La Scala AL5s (current model) -- Balance XLR connection. Im using the high gain setting as the low gain requires me to tuen the volume up on the Pre90 to well over -20db to get reasonable...
