    Audioholics 2021 Product of Year Award Winners!

    I had the equivalent inwall model of the Studio 20 V5 in the guest room of my old place. They were incredibly well crafted with excellent build quality. I did find them a bit bright. In comparison, the 800F are the most tonally neutral speakers I've ever heard from Paradigm. To answer your...

    StormAudio ISP MK2 24CH AV Processor Review & Support Thread

    That's true but it's also the only room correction system that virtually does nothing so there's that ;)

    StormAudio ISP MK2 24CH AV Processor Review & Support Thread

    Channel 4 is the subwoofer channel and out of this test since it was done at 1kHz. Just ignore. I added a note in the review for clarity.

    StormAudio ISP MK2 24CH AV Processor Review & Support Thread

    That Loosechange guy is a bit nutty. He prays to his Audioquest cables every night and rumor has it he takes some of them to bed with him too ;)

    StormAudio ISP MK2 24CH AV Processor Review & Support Thread

    I have 9 bed channels, 4 height channels and 2 sub channels so I'm only using 15 channels total. Eventually IF Storm gets FIR, I will bypass the Marani and do my FIR correction as triamped speakers for the front LRs and center so that will up my channel count to 20. Also, I can repurpose the...

    StormAudio ISP MK2 24CH AV Processor Review & Support Thread

    Those are completely inaudible #s and the whole SINAD thing puts people out of touch with that fact. Nobody uses SINAD to show performance other than ASR but I included it here so people could make Apples to Apples comparisons. There is no magic to representing distortion as dB instead of...

    StormAudio ISP MK2 24CH AV Processor Review & Support Thread

    Folks; As many of you know, I spent the last year testing and evaluating the StormAudio ISP MK2 24CH AV Processor. My beginning journey revealed some performance issues that I worked closely with the engineers at StormAudio to improve upon and they did so quite excellently. When I set out to...

    Here is more on breadcrumbs: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/ranking-factors/breadcrumb-navigation/#close As for the "Preview" date instead of "Review" date, that's F'ing brilliant! I will see if its possible with my web admin. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Audioholics Article Marking Changes for Previews vs Reviews

    There is no word "review" in the actual page title. The breadcrumbs is part of schema.org and a requirement by Google if you want the best SEO. Any site not implementing is really missing out. There is a disclaimer at the beginning of the article and the footer about it being a preview...

    Audioholics 2021 Product of Year Award Winners!

    So I screwed up publishing this article without it being completed last night. I added the following: THX Onyx portable headphone DAC Valencia Seating Tuscany Storm Audio ISP (review is uploaded and will publish this week) Sorry, I thought I had the final draft of this before posting but...

    Audioholics 2021 Product of Year Award Winners!

    No worries. I wish I had some help to get more site operations done so I could more effectively focus on my own content. Please note, the measurements I'm complaining about likely won't result in audibility. But, I can't in good conscious give them an award for mediocre measurement results that...

    Audioholics 2021 Product of Year Award Winners!

    We didn't review many due to supply chain issue and Yamaha isn't a contender due to my measurement results.

    Audioholics Article Marking Changes for Previews vs Reviews

    Previews are a necessary content type for several reasons: We don't have the resources to review every piece of gear on the market. Supply Chain issues make product procurement more challenging these days. Often manufacturers give us details you can't get in a press release as we are in contact...

    We've made it to the closing weeks of 2021. That means it's time to reflect on the highlights of this year's very best in consumer audio-video! It was only a year ago in the 2020 Audioholics Product of the Year Award that Gene confirmed 2020 was the “...year of suck”. Little did we know that...
