    Mid-to-high end receivers without cooling fans?

    Looking through the current products, it seems like Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Onkyo, Integra, Sony etc receivers all seem to have cooling fans on their mid to high end models? Is Yamaha the only company left that has a fanless design (i.e. the A6A and A8A?). Unfortunately I can't get over the...

Also would there be any deleterious side effects (lobing?) if used this way? Would this be "more of a point...

    Earpad Rolling

    Does anyone do custom earpad mods? Use aftermarket earpads? I'm usually an HD800 user but I bought a used Focal Elex. The stock earpads are too small for my ears as I prefer larger pads like the HD800. I am playing around with 3d printed earpad adapters and so far I have tried the Dan Clark...
