Hello! This is a quick review/measurements set of a Pioneer DV-565A CD/DVD player, tested in CD mode. The unit itself is built and feels like a typical Mid-Fi: generally pleasant appearance, but all buttons have almost no travel and sometimes require force to be activated. We have a decent...

Hello! This is a quick review/measurements set of a Pioneer DV-717 CD/DVD player, tested in CD mode. I was loaned this unit just for a few days, so I took an opportunity to measure such a high-end (for early 2000s) device. Well, at least it looks cool. Released in 1998 it had a price of...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here. Many thanks to Amir for the hard work and detailed measurements and analysis in each review. Many thanks to the rest of the ASR community for the feedback and info provided. Onkyo TX-SR3100 It's advertised as 5.2 but in reality it is 5.1 with 2...

Hello there everyone! moving into a new house and so I want to upgrade my home theater, and I am confused in the vast sea of equipment going around here. My living room is 19.7 feet by 17 feet for reference. I am confused like proper confused about what AVR to get. First of all, the speaker...

Hi, im new in this forum I have a pretty stressfull situation where i want to upgrade my car sound quality (i have base audio EU variant, so the worst one) I decided to upgrade the speakers with the Axton specific series (2 way on front + the woofers, coaxial in the back) and, for the price...

I have Pioneer VSX-LX305 and I've noticed something similar to the Amir results but during normal level of usage tests. Watching movies or listening to the music over Spotify connect at -40dB. After 25 minutes when watching movies there is that sound exactly as it is when you are powering on the...

And the craze of market and emotional value. For my first set I have a new wxa50 amp and Wharfedale Evo 4.2 loudspeakers. For my second in the bedroom I got a pair of Denton 85th anniversary loudspeakers and equally beautiful looking Pioneer SA5300 in great condition and recapped. The reason I...

I saw Donut Media released a video about upgrading there $500 Honda Civic with a $1K sound system. The video tries to be a guide but It offers somewhat wrong and missing information although its more of a overview then anything. Honestly this feels like some Best Buy car audio haul setup that...

Hi all, I am fairly new to audio equipment. My hifi experience only extends to owning a portable Fiio M15S DAC, Fostex Headphones and an Escape portable speaker. Have never built a stereo setup. Anyways I just bought the below receiver and speakers, and am wondering how beneficial it would be...

Hi all, Newbie hear! Never had a stereo setup before (alway had portable speakers). Just bought my first stereo setup (below). My purchase was very cost/performance based. I.e - I am more interested in playing just music with with my receiver, but bought this 7.2 Pioneer receiver because it had...

Hello everyone! All my materials are coming in today, so I thought I’d start a build log. I’ve been lurking & learning for a while but recently I took the plunge and ordered these speakers. The Philharmonic Audio Affordable Accuracy Quick Kits are put together by Dennis Murphy, and as of today...

HI I am new to the forum, but been a long time reader. I have an old pioneer vsx 820k 110W x 5 receiver that i am using to power a pair of tekton M lore's and a SVS sb 1000 pro sub for base. Listening to music and the occasional movie (2.1 Channels only) I was looking for an upgrade and was...

My journey so far... I've been on the hi-fi merry-go-round for a little while now, and having an engineering background, decided to go the vintage route as an attempt to save on costs. I've found that after re-capping these units from the 70's, these units generally perform quite well...

https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/product/monitor-speakers/vm-80/black/overview/ I saw an article on these when they were released a few weeks ago. Mainly what caught my eye was the looks (especially the VM-80 8-inch model), yes I admit looks occasionally play a part in my decision making. Tried to...

Hello i am new here and i own a Pioneer VSX-LX60 AV-receiver. I am pleased with the sound quality. Because it is more than 10 years old and has not that many HDMI inputs and outputs it is time to get a replacement. Amirm is doing all nice kind and interesting research and measurement on audio...

What may be causing harshness and annoying sound in my setup? it happens in any music I listen to on my pc, any format and any player I try. I make it clear that I don't talk about noticeable noises or sound distortions (ground loop and stuff like that, I think), I'm also not listening at high...

Im considering to buy the amplifier Pioneer A-30 for my speakers. I have not a headphone amplifier to pair with my Beyerdynamic dt 1770 pro. These headphones have 250 ohms impedance, which isnt low and an amplifier. I dont want to spend a lot of money, cause I have just bought Topping D-50 (DAC)...
