Look at the upgrades from old models I listed. You can see similar upgrades in components on new models (ie. Bigger power supply, better DACs, etc). I will eventually do a livestream with Masimo to discuss as well.

I bench tested the monoprice amps in question and the Marantz amps. I'd take the Marantz all day long and twice on Tuesday. The 7705 is a mediocre processor, sorry to say. It's a mid-priced receiver without the amp section. The Cinema 30 is more akin to the AV 10. NO contest. The Cinema 30 is...

Yes, same type of upgrades

Here are the upgrades from last generation products which carries over to the current ones as well. Marantz SR8012 Advantages over the Denon AVR-X6500H: HDAM SA2 current feedback topology between preamp and power amp 22,000uF, 81V capacitors x 2 vs 15,000uF, 73V capacitors (X-6500H) Torodial...

Those monoprice amps are not Monolith and don't have as good noise and distortion as the internal amps of the Cinema 30. The 7706 preamp is not as good as what's in the Cinema 30. I would not go this route as an alternative to the Cinema 30.

Cinema 30 power section is upgraded over the 6800 like thr SR8015 over the Denon equivalent a few years back.

The Marantz Cinema Series finally has a replacement for the lauded SR8015 we favorably reviewed in 2020. The new Cinema 30 AVR ($4,500) now sits at the top of Marantz’s receiver lineup. It offers HDMI 2.1 support on every input, 11 channels of amplification, 13.4 channels of processing, ESS...

You are correct. I'm so used to reviewing multi-ch AVRs that I mistakenly wrote eARC instead of ARC. The review has been updated. thanks

Harman has announced that it has acquired Roon, the music management software company with a passionate audiophile following. Roon will retain its team and operate as an independent business within Harman — for now anyway. Does Harman plan to use Roon’s user interface expertise for the...

I've suffered sleep issues for almost a decade. Anxiety and untreated Apnea are the likely culprits. I now have a routine that involves the following just so I can sleep about 6hrs/nt: 1. 50mg Trazadone 2. .25mg Clonazapam 3. 5mg of melatonin 4. CBD oil I work nights, so I don't go to bed till...

I thought you had Kanta No2 not Sopras. Not sure how the impedance looks on that model but we did measure other Sopra's here: https://www.audioholics.com/bookshelf-speaker-reviews/focal-sopra-nb01 110-115dB SPL sustained at your listening area will give you permanent hearing damage relatively...

I would never put power amps inside speakers if it can be avoided. I do prefer rackmount amps and active speakers over passive but I still suspect there's something wrong with his A110 or there are whiskers on the cable connections that could be shorting the unit. I've driven the A110 with a...

You're making way too many assumptions based on the post under question. WE know very little about the circumstances of his system and unit in question. I run 4 ohm Revel F328be at ear bleeding levels without incident on my PMA-110. The power plant is solid on this unit all the way down to 2...

I'm very surprised your PMA-110 goes into protection w a 4ohm speaker like a Focal. I ran the PMA-A110 into 2 ohms continuously and it was stable. The amp is a true beast for what it is. The only thing I can think is there's something wrong with your unit or you may have a short in the...

LOL James it stuck in the past. I moved us forward and corrected it.

Interesting, where do you get this service?

Yes, sadly for both music and movies.
