    Tekton M-Lore Speaker Review

    Eric Alexander should do two things: 1) Hire a PR firm and to stay off audio online forums 2) Re-introduce the speaker that was reviewed here ASAP. This speaker may be 20 years old and in need of an update. The speaker market is competitive and evolving. There is no doubt that improvements can...

    How do people feel about outriggers on speakers?

    I have 5 foot towers, suspended wooden floors, 5 stories up in my building and I live in earthquake country. This is one of the very, very few tweaks that audibly improved the sound. If you live on a concrete slab YMMV Now the speakers are less likely to get knocked over accidentally. Less...

    “The Sensible Sound” magazine the ASR forum of pre-internet days?

    IIRC Winslow Burhoe was the designer of the original EPI/Epicure line of loudspeakers. The EPI 100 was an outstanding bookshelf at an affordable price. The magnificent M1000 (an omnidirectional design ) was one of the best speakers I have ever heard. Much later he was involved in ZVOX.

    EAR Yoshino 834L Deluxe Preamp Review

    There can be no doubt that tubes/valves introduce a certain type of distortion. Some find this sound preferable. But what if someone designed and sold a high priced pre-amplifier that introduced reverb into the signal path? No doubt some would marvel at the increased "spatial qualities" of the...

    Stereophile 2023 recommended gear list

    I occasionally read some of their articles back in the 1980s until it became painfully obvious that some of the reviewers were scaminng their audience. There was no editorial restraint. TAS and Stereophile were never as useful or professional as Stereo Review, Audio, High Fidelity, The Sensible...

    PrimaLuna Dialogue Seven Tube Amp Review

    This is a completely valid test of this tube equipment. This is exactly how it would sound and measure some time after purchase either new or old. An owner cannot change to fresh new tubes every time they want to play music. If your equipment ages this badly, it is time to change. It is a good...
