| GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS I have no doubt that the Technics unit sounds good. Whether it outperforms other 10K integrated's--that's pretty exalted company--is another question.Focusing just on GaN technology, 10K gets you a pair of AGD Audions + well on your way to a real... | |
| Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp? Short answer: it's not a yes/no answer, they do vs. they don't, it's a question of percentages.Long answer: it's impossible to generalize. Almost every tube preamp is going to have a different design/topology. Depending on a number of variable f... | |
| GaN based SU-R1000 Technics Integrated Class-D, review by TAS Let's face it, reviews in the two mainstream mags that contain even a brief comparative section are few and far between, and when they do, the components that are compared are usually nowhere near the same price bracket.

| Classical Music for Aficionados For those who are partial to Arrau or Moravec in Chopin's Nocturnes, the new double CD by Jan Lisiecki is definitely worth a listen. | |
| New to me speakers Focal, Coincident, and Tannoy are all quality products.Enough said. | |

| RMAF 2021 Cancelled The Washington DC show--CAF--is better (larger) than the NY one, and although it's only a couple of months away, I don't think there's any guarantee against a last-minute cancellation. | |
| Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby? @pinwa The LSA Voyager has no home trial period and comes with a hefty restocking fee. The electronics inside the Voyager and the Peachtree are identical; only things different are the cases, the wire, and the connectors. My guess is that the V... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... Sometimes when you think about all the challenges that are stacked up against them, it's little short of miraculous that audio components work at all. | |
