For 600 dollar I would buy a 727 or 626. Go for the older models with Audyssey when you want to play 5.1. Only choose for the new ones if you use only stereo.I did test the new Onkyo amps for Onkyo Benelux 2 weeks ago.

Sorry about my mistakes in writing.Believe me with brands like Audioquest and Purist Audio the individual focus ( imaging) is superior because the instruments and voices are smaller in proportion. Beside this the black level is better. You get a h...

I sold and used Nordost my way. Like I do many things differently.But for a reason. As a perfectionist it need to be perfect, or it is a no go.I hate every single limitation. So what you do is you try to solve them. You add properties it does not ...

I sold Nordost for over 9 years of time. I sold a lot of Valhalla in the past as well. The limitations are involvement in the mid freq. Not an intimate realistic proportion of instruments and voices.Other brands also can give a wider and deeper st...
