    Reviewing Home Theater Related Product Reviews

    "What makes this more scrupulous is how these articles are peppered with Amazon affiliate links to monetize every square inch of the page." I think you meant unscrupulous.

    Study Shows No Correlation Between Price and Sound Quality in Headphones

    Wow, you are really stretching here. The study is literally called "No correlation between headphone frequency response and retail price" and you make some (possibly) logical conclusions, but the title of your article is totally misleading. The study did NOT conclude "No Correlation Between...

    Master & Dynamic MW60 Wireless Headphones Review

    Thanks for the review. I'm just curious about why reviews discuss packaging? There was discussion about packaging on Head-fi and the consensus was that packing is irrelevant, except to the degree the headphones are protected in transit. Are we missing something? Is there any additional...

    Internet Direct Speaker Brand Comparison

    I don't think Gallo sells the CL3 anymore. It's been out of stock for over a year, and Underwood appears to have purchased the inventory, and is selling them for $999/pr. I do not think you can return them. http://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/gallo-acoustics

    Yamaha Dolby Atmos Receiver Listening Tests and Review

    "That said, the first AVR manufacturer that allows me to rename inputs on the AVR, set speaker crossover frequencies, and assign amp channels, all from a smartphone, also gets cookies." I believe you can do those things in the set up Web App, which should work on a Smart phone. I do it from my...

    EMPTek R55Ti vs Chane A5rx-c

    You will want an awesome center for that mix. Chane looks very interesting, but I'm not ready to buy. I'm actually thinking of Ascend bookshelves and a horizon center, but that might be out of your price range. I also read a really real positive review of the new infinity towers. Not sure if...

    Aperion Verus Grand Center (x 2) vs. Ascend Sierra 2s vs. SVS Ultra Bookshelfs

    i wonder how well the Chane ARX towers would fare in this comparison. Yes, they are unite a bit cheaper, but they get pretty darned good reviews. Anyone compared them to Ascends?

    Why are people still buying CD players?

    oh, from John Atkinson: http://www.stereophile.com/content/nad-masters-series-m50-digital-music-player-amp-m52-digital-music-vault "Physical discs are so 20th century," I wrote back in 2006, when I began experimenting with using, in my high-end rig, a computer as a legitimate source of music...

    Why are people still buying CD players?

    yes, a quality play makes a difference, but it's the DAC and some other post CD read circuitry that makes the difference. In fact I think you can use an Oppo as streamer now. Yamaha CD-S3000: $6k (also an SACD player) Marantz Reference Series SA-11S3 $4k (also an SACD player) lots more fun...

    Why are people still buying CD players?

    I wasn't assuming anything. I was just wondering. I guess it comes down to convenience. I got rid of all my CDs about 10 years ago. They are all ripped to ALAC in iTunes. I have an iPod I keep in the car, essentially permanently connected to my car. I bring it in to sync every month or two to...

    Why are people still buying CD players?

    Sure, I completely understand vinyl, but playing a CD from a player or from a comouter is not different. It's the DAC that matters. Nothing to stop you from twiddling the settings after that. As for hard drive crashes, I feel way more comfortable with my music on a server and backed up to the...
