Name 5 review in the past year where a reviewer has sat down individuals other than themselves to listen to a product and performed an A/B on a switcher level matched. In fact point to three reviews in Sound And Vision, Stereophile or even Amir who that have done a double blind test or even A/B...

Yes @PENG ‘s objectivity is fantastic. He’s always worth listening to and appreciate his approach. On the broader topic of DACs I have reviewed numerous hi-res DAPs and likewise AVR and pre-pros. The DAC situation is very interesting. Generally speaking, the differences tend to be minor or...

Revel brothers. Love it!

Appreciate that. There are lots of folks who have done A/B or had the Anthem AVM 90 in their set up. Some hear a difference others don’t. I was able to perform a direct A/B with a switcher. The point with the AVM 90 as well is its measurements are exceptional. Measurements should be looked at as...

The only opinion that ultimately matters is the buyer’s. Do the buyer like it or not. Good points. On the topic of Room Correction, I like all three. I have the most experience with ARC going back to ARC-1. I really like what Audyssey has done with MultEQ-X especially fixing the dynamic range...

Correct, direct, switched testing was without any room correction engaged. ARC was not used in the direct XLR switching between the AVM 90 and AVM 60

Since a group of users are certainly likely to be looking to step up from the AVM 60 and since I had one in my setup it lent itself to take advantage of that opportunity and compare directly vs. anecdotal or memory. The ARC Genesis implementation on the AVM 90 is superior to the 60 just from...

Yes listening was direct only using the processor’s internal DACs with no room correction. Stereo listening is the preferred metric and what we used. As we all know, the more speakers you add, the more difficult it can become to discern differences. The AVM 90’s ARC Genesis also has an...

Gentlemen all the questions are answered in the video review, and perhaps if one hasn’t looked at that video review, there are conjectures happening. In summary: Roon nucleus server was the source and streamed directly to an Oppo UDP 205 via Roon RAAT lossless protocol. UDP-205 SPDIF coax was...

Volume control on each unit does the trick. Since they are pre-pros, fed to an XLR switcher, fed to the same amps and speakers you can do that pretty easily.

Denon makes very fine gear and as I’m sure everybody knows I have reviewed here and owned both the 8500H and 8500HA. I’m unclear by the inference you are making that we are paid by the manufacturers as that’s flat out false. I think Gene did an exceptional job disabusing any such falsehoods in...

We did that. Did A/B Testing with the AVM 60 and AVM 90 level matched with a little bear XLR switcher. Detailed the process in the video review. Participants were not aware which was 60 or 90 and all preferred the 90 and described the differences in the same manner. So yes, measurable and audible.

Yes they left a Q-shaped marks on the cabinet. The packaging was specific about marking potential and I suffered that. Is there a specific 50-during product available for speakers? The ones I’m seeing are for truck bumpers. If there is that may be something worth sharing for others. The 50-Duro...

Van Halen brown M&Ms right there. I skimmed a few posts and it’s just responding to the other person. The Sorbothane one made me laugh because: 1) Sorbothane is NOT a non-marking solution. I’ve tried Sorbothane on my turntable with simply excellent results as I mentioned in a previous post but...

I didn’t do a super deep dive into isoacoustics’ penetration into the pro and recording engineering world. There are other vendors on their OEM page who use their isolation products. I chose to omit mentioning any of them explicitly as they weren’t speaker manufacturers. I figured anybody who...

Your point about the IsoAcoustics solution efficacy versus potentially less expensive options is completely valid. That’s something that would be lots of fun to explore. I am not immediately aware of a deep dive into this area that has such comparisons. If someone is indeed aware of some thing...

There are three states goals in the article: Scratch-free isolation feet alternative to spikes on a hardwood floor. Isolate my speakers from the hardwood floor to mitigate some of the physical vibrations that went into the room from my speakers. Squeeze more performance out of my system in...

Yes there are already several speaker manufacturers offering IsoAcoustics isolators with their speakers including: Dynaudio PSB Marten Spatial Audio Lab. There are others evaluating the GAIA that haven’t been announced yet. To your point: Yes it’s already happening and Gene has spoken to...
