Best and Worst customer service?
I’ll add a vote for Innuous. I was having a problem with my Zenith 3 and emailed them.  Got a response within a couple of hours requesting more details. I was then emailed by a technical person in London who asked about accessing my desktop pc.  I...

I emailed Innuous tech support about the problems described above.  They wrote back promptly, asked  for more details, and then set up a session where they took control of my computer.  The session lasted almost 90 minutes and I’m not sure of ever...

Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4
I recently replaced an old Audio Research preamp with a Benchmark LA 4. It started when I connected my dac directly to my power amp and liked what I heard.  I began looking for a preamp that would accomplish the same thing but provide additional i...
