| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier Another great product from a maker of great product that gets no where near the exposure that the majors do. Unless you read the reviews at 6moons, or here, and there, one has no idea of the level of performance you can get for much less coin than... | |
| Anyone tried ZU Option interconnects? Zu doesn't source their cables "off the rack" like BJ does. They have their own cable looms and make everything from scratch. They also do a lot of Beta testing before they settle on a design. Having said that, I've used Zu Mission ICs for a long ... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Ever see an old magnesium rim burn when the brakes got so hot it ignited the rim? | |
| Toslink, Coax, AES/EBU, USB 2.0 audio, HDMI?? Sarjan over at 6moons just did a comparo on this very subject:http://6moons.com/audioreviews2/i2s/1.html He did his best to keep it equal due to the different cabling and what's available and came away preferring i2s.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? I don’t want to miss out on the lawyer jokes so here goes:Why did God make snakes before lawyers?Because he needed the practice. | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? Hey fruff1976, so true, so true. Some people feel there's been no advances made since the cabinets look the same but the drivers are modern, up to date units of proven design.It's funny how some just love and swear by old tube designs, old cable d... | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? That about sums up how I feel about my JBL 4319 monitors which go for the same price as the L100. They make it sound like you’re the one in the recording studio, and sometimes, on the other side of the glass with the musicians.Right now, there's a... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Didn't Marx say cable makers will sell the cables that we will hang them with? Their necks will show evidence of burn in. | |
| Military grade A United States defense standard, often called a military standard, "MIL-STD", "MIL-SPEC", or (informally) "MilSpecs", is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense.All they're looking for is compatibility wi... | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? For anyone who has any doubts about how good JBL speakers are, whether they're old or new, take a look at Kenrick Audio over on Youtube. I've mentioned this before but it bears reminding. They can still sound great.All the best,Nonoise | |
| marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150. I'm a fan of Class A/B compared to Class D, so I'd give the nod to the Marantz. Looking at the specs, it can easily handle your Tannoy speakers with room to spare.I still have my Marantz PM-15S2b and it's made in Japan, not China, and so is the 80... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? This has degenerated into one big pie fight that has nothing to do with audio and everything to do with ego.How many times must we read the same links and arguments that have already been tossed in the dung heap of history? Nothing new or revelato... | |
| JBL - almost nothing for sale, why? Good for you. There are only so many ways one can reinvent a speaker.People like to talk about the hype with cables and yet speakers get a pass. "Old" speakers like JBL make for some great music.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Military grade No more crazier than mil spec meals. | |
| Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby The Ruby versions probably have some better parts and implementation than the standard versions, much like my Marantz PM-15S2b has over the PM-15S2 or S1. In my case, Ken Ishiwata took some of what he did with the Pearl series (also limited to 500... |
