    007 just got woke

    It just would have been so much easier if they would have retired the #007 and given her #069 instead ;)

    Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A5200

    That's about it. I like the remote better on the 5100 tbh.

    Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A5200

    Thx, I always find stuff, especially when I'm not looking but rarely get much of anything for it. Hoping they do fix this or I'm finding another Prepro for my rack.

    Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A5200

    Yes on the pre/pro. I would guess an involuntary recall. Most end users probably won't notice or care tbh. This would make me lose sleep if it were in my rack, however ;)

    Very doubtful. I suspect a component change is in order.

    Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A5200

    Thanks. This would usually go unmissed by most folks that measure but I always look at fullbandwidth, and FFT distortion spectra. This issue really perplexed me as I thought it was an issue with my test gear so I ran a self check to confirm it was all good ;)

    Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A5200

    Guys; I'm sorry to report my CX-A5200 review is going to be delayed due to a tech issue I found on the product. When I was pulling measurements on my CX-A5200, I noted unusually high distortion coming from the main front channel XLR's. This higher distortion was only seen on the front XLR's...

    Understanding Loudspeaker Measurements, Part 1

    In our subwoofer reviews, we post a very comprehensive set of measurements that illuminates the full range of a subwoofer's performance. We have noticed that one of the graph sets in our subwoofer reviews have been a bit cryptic for much of our readership, however, for those who understand what...

    Climate Change?

    I know. I have a brother who is a top climate scientist and published author on the topic who is very optimistic. I keep telling him that driving a Prius isn't going to make a dent. We need serious population control to conserve resources and reduce pollution. Nobody talks about that because...

    Climate Change?

    Yep agreed 100% There is no doubt we are the major contributor to the increased CO2 since the industrial revolution. I doubt we will ever slow this down given human nature of greed and only acting when a crisis is reached. Since half our country is in denial of the science, and big oil spends...

    Uggh no I didn't realize that. I thought the higher end 2CH stuff was immune from inflated power specs. I will bring it up if we cover those products.

    Bowers & Wilkins 603 Tower Speaker Review

    It's not that I don't believe in doing 4-ohm ACD tests but it's impractical, especially for AV receivers. Most high power amps will reach the wall outlet limit with 7CH driven into 8 ohms. So if you redo that test into 4 ohms, you're now limited by wall current and the power #s will drop even...
