Everyone is well aware the company had a problem with the first generation amp not delivering rated power. AFAIK they refunded every customer that wasn't satisfied with the product and discontinued the amp. The new version meets power spec. AMIR likes to create a spectacle like he's a savior to...

A 60-day countdown has begun on FDA approved OTC consumer-grade hearing aids, so we should see new products hit the market as early as mid-October. But can hearing aids extend our hi-fi audio enjoyment into old age? And, will our auditory health become susceptible to audiophile snake oil claims...

All that matters is the amplitude response under various load conditions which we show in the Starke amp and my soon to publish NAD M23 amp. The NAD is completely load invariant. The Starke output impedance is affected by load at 20kHz but it's not jarring and likely inaudible as most...

Damping factor is a meaningless spec beyond a value of 50 or so. Cable impedance swamps it out. The only time I ever see output impedance being an issue is with older tube amp designs and some poor behaved Class D amps. Load invariant amps are pretty common these days with good designs.

wow lots of mysticism here surrounding class D amps. The Purifi amp has ruler flat frequency response from 10Hz to 20kHz regarding loaded or unloaded. Anyone claiming the output impedance of a good Class D amp isn't low enough, is spurting dogmatic views or poor understanding of new technologies.

The Starke Sound AD4.320 was recently discontinued and replaced by the Fiera4. We wanted to see IF this new amp could meet power spec as we were assured by Starke Sound that it would. This amp has a completely redesigned power supply. The old amp had a linear supply and this new model has SMPS...

His voice is so cringe to me.

Mobile Fidelity has been caught in a lie. After years of falsely claiming to produce pure analog vinyl, the audiophile record label must face the music. It has recently been revealed that the company regularly uses digital DSD transfers in the production of its acclaimed remasters. Ironically...

You missed the point. This system will allow every seat to be a good seat.

This has nothing to do with changing the speed of sound. This changes the mix to speakers so each speaker gets its normal on time signal but it also feedbacks a cancellation signal to the specific speaker that is located where a bad reflection happens. This signal is filtered and delayed...

Dirac Research is looking to the future. Dr. Lars-Johan Brännmark, Research Fellow and Chief Scientist at Dirac, has given a glimpse into what he believes will be the next generation of room correction. Spatial room correction is a concept that goes beyond correcting each speaker individually in...

Do you identify as an audiophile? If not, what is it about that word that gives you pause? In this article we discuss the many connotations of the word “audiophile,” and what needs to be done in order to reclaim it for the whole community of music-lovers and audio enthusiasts. Read...

Sure he's welcome to reach out to me to be a guest on our channel. Again, this topic is beaten with a dead horse and my priority is to focus on much more important topics that affect sound.

The prolific German loudspeaker designer Karl-Heinz Fink has bought the Epos loudspeaker company and is rebooting the brand with new designs, starting with the ES14N speaker coming later this year. The new speaker is named after the most famous model from Epos’s heyday in the 1980s, but features...

Henry Ott was a contributor of my site and agreed with my tech articles on cables. RF doesn't matter with amplifiers severely bandwidth limited usually above 50khz. I didn't know he passed. He was a good guy.

Bubblegum and tape are non conductive. It won't work.

All good ideas but in reality, I wish I had the time or desire to prove what I already know to be true in a scientific setting. I know what works based on 20+ years of professional installation and calibration. The guys claiming the esoterics are better, can never back it up with any measurable...

That study is interesting but seems to be flawed as can be seen in this thread: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/milind-kunchur-blind-cable-test.32335/ Also, let's for the moment assume his findings are true that noise is the culprit for audibility difference in...

Wow so much misinformation in one post.

They are out of business.
