why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
Bobby killed himself in 2015 
Scansonic mb serie
Going to add a review of the MB3.5s shortly. But. I thought I made a mistake when i bought them. Or so I thought. Sounded terrible. Raidho pedigree yes, sound, no. However, I gave the speakers to my kids for their gaming system. Well, a few months... 
Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends?
Harbeth has a nearly 90 lineage in making speakers, starting with the BBC. The Harbeth form was designed by engineers back in the 1960s and the high end studio monitor was born. IF you hear the Harbeth's you will understand. However, no matter the... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Oh, and for all the large gauge, silver rhodium gold platinum unobtanium spiral helix magnetic convex matrix wiring there is......the current still flows through a piece of fuse wire no bigger then a few strands of hair. Think about that... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Yes, I installed the RED and immediately heard a far larger soundstage, nuanced detail, a more organic presentation, and my amp seemed happier. What a bunch of fluff. Buy into the charlatan rhetoric if you want. It's a bunch of crap told to people... 
Learning the hard way about AC power solutions
I live outside Omaha, Nebraska. We have clean power and are not close to industrial or commercial areas. I had my power supply checked and it was clean. Now, what we do have is lightening, and an occasional power surge/drop. The Spring can bring o... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Atmasphere...I thought audio waves moved at the speed of sound, and light waves moved at the speed of light? This is the kind of crap I'm talking about. Just listen to the music, if it moves you, you have a great system.  
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Made up words to justify printing magazines and blogs just don't cut it. I listen for emotion. That's all I need. You can blame the founding fathers of the critics set and magazine editors for making up words to describe noise.  
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
I understand this post is old, however, I am getting so tired of manufactured cliche descriptions of audio sound. Terms like "organic, neutral, warm, biased, tight, extended, rolled off, and relaxed." It's all a bunch of crap. You guys parrot what... 
TAD R-1's vs Yamaha Soavo NS-F901's ....
I've heard the Soavo's at a local Yamaha dealer. A high end dealer no less. Unbelievable build and sound quality for a $4000.00 speaker. 4 grand right now at BHP camera online. These things are not a joke, they were designed specifically to take d... 
The best CD Player for the money
jeez, this thread has been here for years...the original guy has probably gone through 2 or 3 players by now. In this day in age, the OPPO 95 represents the strongest bang for the buck. You would have to spend thousands to improve...the law of dim... 
Recommendation on a modding service?
upgrade company also knows the 225 like the back of their hand. They will provide a new unit with their signature mod for $225 over the msrp.....no, i wont get anything more expensive....and that is the rub. EXPENSIVE, with greatly diminished retu... 
Pioneer S-3EX vs. Von Schweikert VR 33
I have heard both. It depends on what you are listening for. The vr-33 and vr-35 require about 10" from the back wall. Both are stunning in sound. What I can appreciate is that the vr series use the best components available. Including the crossov... 
Joseph Audio Pulsars
The Fritz Carbon 7 is an astounding monitor, however the Pulsars are jaw dropping, I have never been a fan of monitors until i heard the Fritz, and then the Pulsars. just beautiful in sound! exemplary. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
