Check this out. Science + Steak = Yum.

So, lately I've been venturing into the world of espresso, and I see no reason to overspend, much like how I approach my hifi hobby. As any interest takes hold, I usually check out youtube to gain some insight into the whole thing, but I'm noticing a trend that leaves me frustrated. Ask any...

So, lately I've had a crazy influx of email coming to the inbox of my outlook account. I swear that they are doing it intentionally to "convince" me to go for the paid version. To fix it, I added some filters, and it's been working fairly well. I'm kind of puzzled why they aren't used by...

Some guy tests chargers by plotting graphs just like @amirm ! This will probably help those of us out who insist on avoiding alkaline batteries. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/search/1437362/?q=charger+review&c[title_only]=1&c[users]=HKJ&o=relevance I use the ISDT N8 frequently to charge...

I didn't see any mention that the AVR has launched for $1700USD, so here are a few links at the bottom. I did notice one thing that may disappoint. It appears that Dirac Live won't be available at launch. 9.4 channel, 105w (2 channel driven) 11.4 channel preamp outputs Dolby Atmos, DTS:X...

I just figured I would start a thread checking to see where everyone gets their bulbs. I've tried ebay and amazon, only to find that they're almost all fakes that dim after ~500 hours. If it's under $100, then it's probably too good to be true and you run a very large risk of blowing up your...

Say what you will, but he has done it. He can differentiate between a 121 and 119dB SINAD headphone amp. :rolleyes: Just ignore the lack of a double blind/ABX test, improper level matching, and running these things single ended. "Blind Test"

Hello friends. I just wanted to fill you in on a surprising thing I noticed when breaking out some old JBL N26ii's from my attic. I thought for sure that I had a blown woofer as I was getting distortion on a single speaker. I was mentally preparing to toss the "old and worn out speakers", but...

During a recent Audyssey XT32 calibration, I noticed that even with MultiEQ-X and the ACM1-X calibrated mic, I was hearing odd prominence of center-vocals about ~30 degrees to the right of where they should be during the stereo mode on my Denon X3700H. A quick look at the distances resulted in a...

Lately there have been a few threads complaining about the lack of fidelity for lossy audio. I figured that it may be worthwhile to better illustrate where we are actually at with a few samples. Given that our auditory memory is only a matter of seconds and most tests play out a long chunk of a...

It was semi-officially announced during the AV summit by Hobie Sechrest that monoprice's monolith sub-brand will be releasing a new multi channel amplifier with hypex amplification. Take a look.

I just saw this advertised and thought it would be worth discussing on here. I personally don't believe their claims of a full range response from 30Hz to 20KHz. But what do you think? https://www.sillycomm.com/kickbass/

Recently when I was listening to music, I was working on making sure that the position of my front pair of speakers were aimed and spaced correctly, but when I was doing that to find the sweet spot, I found that the sound drastically changed as I moved just about a foot away from my recliner...

Take a look. A youtuber was able to generate a thorough investigation as to what the heck MQA does to butcher your masters. Enjoy.

I know.. I should just refrain from reading this garbage, but it happens to the best of us. https://darko.audio/2020/11/no-bluetooth-cannot-deliver-hi-res-audio/ While I get that some phones have issues maintaining the 990kbps bitrate, he goes on and on about his scoffing that it pales in...

So a youtuber named Joshua valour has repeatedly said that the THX 789's biggest flaw is audible hum/noise on very sensitive IEM's like his Empire ears Zeus. I'm calling BS, and he's making some sort of noob mistake like running his RCA's close to 120V mains or his source material is crappier...
