    I am selling a nearly brand new Apollon Audio Purifi 1et400a Mini Stereo Amplifier. It was originally purchased in July 2021 and took two months to arrive to my doorstep in the US. A large portion of that was customs of course. I think everyone here is pretty familiar with Apollon and Purifi...

    Hegel H160 problem

    Hello dear users! Not sure about theme choice, but I need help. My amplifier generates noises time after time. I’ve made a video for demonstration, noises can be stable or lower/higher level. Maybe someone is faced with such problem? It literally makes my setup unusable. Thank you!

    Question about BJTs

    At one point a friend of mine bought a very old amplifier from the 1960s and invited me over to try it out. Before listening we opened it up and saw it was running on BJTs, standard for the time period. So, we hooked it up to a pair of KEF R3s and started blasting after which a very strange...

    SMSL DA-9 Review - Cause of clipping behaviour.

    So in this review they mention the DA-9 sounds like it’s “clipping” when sent signal with strong bass frequencies while using with inefficient speakers. What could be the cause of this?

    Newbie question. I bought an AVR but I'm not impressed by the sound. If I get a preamp then could I use my AVR solely as a power amp?

    Hey everyone, second post here. I bought a used Denon S540H along with two KEF Q150 speakers, and while the sound is pretty great there is a lot of static noise that is coming through at medium-to-high volumes. I also feel like the sound could be a lot better. Aside from that, I hate the Heos...

    Worthwhile Plate Amp Candidates<=100W

    Hey all, I've been having fun with my recent DIY speakers, but I'm routinely disappointed with my hand-me-down, buzzy receiver or my distorted at high volume, no headroom desktop budget all-in-one amplifier. I like the way my buddy's JBL LSR305's are set up on the back, and as much as possible...

    Digitally reducing volume when connecting DSP directly to power amplifier

    My current setup takes all its different inputs into a MiniDSP 2x4HD which acts as my DAC, and the output is connected directly into the power amplifier (main in) of my NAD C352 (80W per channel). Volume is controlled on the DSP. Currently, to get output volume at 0dB on the DSP that's not too...
