    JTR did not have a home theater demo room at Audio Advice Live 2025. Just 2.2CH And not w Trinnov. Trinnov partnered w Ascendo Acoustics and I personally didn't care for that demo. The speakers sounded harsh and compressed to me but the bass was pretty solid.

I had to measure that a few times to make sure it wasn't something weird on my end but Marantz confirmed my test results and gave their reason. Nobody is using a...

    Marantz Link 10n Streaming Hi-Fi Preamp Review

    This is a discussion thread to support my review of the new Marantz Link10n 2.1CH Streaming Hi-Fi Preamp. Our bench tests of the Marantz Link 10n revealed textbook-level performance from its discrete DAC, phono stage, and robust analog preamp, proving it’s built as much for musicality as for...

    Depends on what is important to you. If sound quality, build quailty and bass extension are important, than the clear winner was Perlisten. If more casual listening and value (sale price of $12k) are more important to you, then the Revel wins.
