My Samsung Level Overs are held together by a paper binder clip. It’s time. I use headphones for watching YouTube videos and movies. I also listen to a podcasts, audio books and occasionally some music. I also do some work and take calls with headphones. So the mic has to be decent quality...

I’m man enough to admit it. I occasionally cry tears of joy or sorrow listening to certain recordings. These are the most spine tingling and emotional pieces in my collection. What are your favorite tear jerkers? I’ll start with the Antonin Dvorak Te Deum: Dvorák: Te Deum; Psalm 149 In Nature's...

R/L speakers: JBL M2. Each speaker is active 2 way. So each speaker gets 2 channels. 2 DACs: Lynx Hilo: Output impedance over balanced is 100 ohms. Benchmark DAC3: Output impedance 50 ohms over balanced. 2amps: Both are Benchmark AHB2. Each one outputs 2 channels; one amp outputs both...

I first became seriously interested in purchasing the JBL M2 when I was with @amirm at CEDIA 2015. I heard the Harman demo room and was shocked at the sound quality I heard. The Harman demo at CEDIA is like waiting in line for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World with my kids...

There's been a lot of complaining lately about modern recordings. It seems to me the most legitimate of these are those complaints directed at severely clipped audio. Most audiophiles don't listen to this kind of music. I listen to plenty of rock, electronic, dance and metal. I know that...

Tidal’s cash on hand enough for 6 more months. I can see why Jay-Z was so desperate to flip Tidal as soon as he bought it.

Microsoft Building 87 https://news.microsoft.com/stories/building87/audio-lab.php What does Microsoft do with this? They don't make speakers, right?
