What electronic audio products you want tested most

[Old Grey Punk]

This (relatively) low cost phono stage seems interesting, employing some what appear to be clever approaches to phono stage design, especially at this price point:

SPARTAN 5 Moving Magnet Phono Stage by Michael Fidler

Economical low noise moving magnet phonostage with mono switch, subsonic filter, linear power supply, and accurate RIAA equalisation

IF Amir didn't have far more relevant gear to measure, I'd love to see the measurements of all the inputs and outputs of this small Pyle amplifier - no April Fooling

I need a dedicated streamer right now. Currently considering Apple Mac Mini M2 with built-in DAC 96 Khz only. It’s $499 right now.

Any way to test DC Offset blockers? My sub was making kindda loud noises at night and it's 98% gone with one I got off Amazon. I heard some are more effective than others. Maybe some graph to show difference electrically before and after.

SMSL M300SE DAC seems to be new balanced DAC king when it comes to value?

 

[Petevid]

A gentle reminder that a test of the very reasonably priced Behringer PP400 phono pre-amp would be most welcome. I read in another thread that apparently you do own one?

Thanks

That’s not nearly cheap enough for comedy value! What about testing one of these pocket money amps? I’m actually curious how bad they really are…

Anthem AVM90 please

 

[Gruesome]

I know many (most?) here would consider it a waste of time and effort, but I am interested in knowing the noise and distortion levels of a simple tube amp like the Elekit TU-8200R. Maybe somebody in the Seattle area would have one for Amir to test?

 

[MacClintock]

Any device, dongle, soundcard, software, whatever that has to do with spatial audio (7.1, Atmos, Binaural, 3d, virtualization,...), especially for headpones/IEMs

I would love to see more speakers tested, and less the next dac from topping and smsl (they are all good enough, we know). Testing some of the mainstream brand speakers (Dali, Monitor Audio, ATC, Graham, Kiplisch, B&W, Totem, Devore, PMC, Moon, Kef, ...) would be very good.

I'd love to see Focal Trio6 or Trio11 Be get tested.

And the Topping MX3s, please. The predecessor tested not so good, but this class of integrated amplifier fits the needs of many people with more modestly sized listening rooms, I believe.

Regarding Elekit tube amplifiers, and other tube amps: The distributor for North America, Victor Kung, is right across the border in Vancouver. Maybe he could drop something off with Amir?
Publishing test results for this kind of equipment would give those people that have their heart set on a tube amp the chance to at least buy a competent one, albeit not 21st century state-of-the-art.

I like to get a gauge of what categories of products I should be testing more (electronics only). So please vote.

As usual, I won't necessarily listen to you all. But like to have the data anyway.

If you are a visitor and not a member, this is your opportunity to join and have your voice heard.

You can vote for more than one product but please be selective.
