Let's save the world from bad amplification. LOL. Disclosing distortion at rated power seems most logical.

I'm fine with sticking with 1% THD+N. If you can't see amp clipping on an OScope, than it's legit real power IMO. I think we need some enforcement of # of channels driven though or a way to test max capability of the power supply.

Actually 0.1% may not be such a bad idea. Gives companies less wiggle room to overstate power. Usually when you exceed 0.1%, the harmonics look pretty nasty when plotting an FFT. Not sure what they will define as "normal use".

In the latest editorial from Jerry Del Coliano, he discusses the process of helping a friend on purchasing their first audiophile system. How would you do it? They have $5,000 to spend and know just a bit about audio systems. The advice you give might make or break this persons foray into the...

In most cases, there is no reason to shield speaker cables.

I spoke to David Salz too. Strange dude. He tried to convince me that if I drove to his headquarters and set up a proper blind test, I'd be able to identify his speaker cables as "Better" than the competition 100% of the time, yet wouldn't send me a sample to conduct the test at my own place...

That's nonsense about lossy upmixing. We are doing a livestream tonight about Auro 3D bankruptcy.

With Baby Boomers now in their 70s and most Millennials firmly entrenched in low quality streaming services with lo-fi speaker systems, how do we entice a new generation of AV enthusiasts to delve into the world of Hi-Fi audio? Show them positive life experiences. In this article by Jerry Del...

This is my experience on the best audiophile tweak I've ever made. It's not about cables or some magical device needed to enhance the sound quality. It's all about the state of mind. ► Disclaimer: Anyone under 18 should click off this video. If my tweak is illegal in your location, do NOT...

Also, Alan White from Yes and Ray Liotta. Was a bad day for sure.

The Swedish audio company Dirac Research has launched a modular, software-based audio platform designed to help car manufacturers deliver better performance from their OEM car sound systems. One key feature is Dirac’s new “intelligent upmixing technology,” which reportedly transforms ordinary...

Killer pic, great Dire Straits album. Move those Polk's into another room if you prefer the Hecos. Having speakers side by side like that hinders performance even if a pair are not playing. You just doubled the size of your baffles. BTW, did you discover Heco from James review...
