Audioholics

I second nice things said about Gene. I’ve met him and he has consulted with me. Just saw him again at the Tampa audio show.

Now, he has to make a living like most of us. But I honestly think he tells things as they are backed up by his own measurements. In person Gene is a very nice person and very helpful. At the show he suggested the new Marantz AV10 pre-pro over the Trinnov Altitude 16 based on the cost. He loves them both but there is a big difference in price. I really felt he was looking out for me.

@dave1980  the Poe video was very interesting. I need more diffusion in my room and now I have more to think about. Thanks.

So glad to be of a little help. Matt is amazing to be around. I did pretty well in school many years ago, have a MBA but Matt is off the charts successful, bright and kind! All his videos are great. BTW he holds a doctorate!

Im thinking about reaching out to him to see if he will help me lay out an end game plan. I make a good living but dont have the means to have a dedicated theater or listening room. So so many products out there. So many solid brands too.  Implementing and maximizing different components into ones particular situation is the hard part. The way im starting to look at it is that maybe it makes sense to spend a few bucks for advice rather than throw money at ideas and youtube reviews 

Hadn’t heard of Audioholics so I watched a couple of videos.  Guy seems to be very knowledgeable and certainly has a solid background in engineering.  He makes some sense as well talking about cables and interconnects.  However, I recently dropped a SR Purple fuse into my MA8900 and it has made an audible difference.  I have no measurements to prove this I just know I hear an audible change for the better.  Bass is more refined, tighter and more prominent.  Cymbals are cleaner, clearer and have a nice sheen to them.  A case of confirmation bias?  Maybe, but I know that I made changes to both subwoofer’s crossover and volume setting both higher due to the improvements in clarity.
