    Star Drek:Discovery

    And, they are only giving us a whopping 9 episodes for season 1. Meanwhile shows like TNG, DS9 and Voyager produced 22-24 episodes/year for free! My understanding is season 2 of STD won't even come out till 2019. Pretty pathetic of CBS IMO.

    Focal, the high-end speaker manufacturer out of Saint-Étienne, France has expanded its high-end headphone line with a new entrant called Clear. The new headphones will retail at $1,500 putting it just above the price of Focal's $1,000 Elear and well below the $4,000 Utopia. With such a close...

    Home Theater Multiple Subwoofer Set-Up & Calibration Guide

    You don't want to parallel connect 6 subs to a single line level output. That can definitely cause problems in the long run. I'd limit it to 2 connections and either daisy chain the other subs in series with each other, or get an mDSP 2x4 and use the buffered outputs to connect the subs. The...

    Star Drek:Discovery

    Apparently it's a bit of a chore to cancel once you sign on and I heard they charge a month even if you do wind up cancelling. Still, it's the principle more than the fee that irks me.

    Star Drek:Discovery

    CBS/Paramount has done it again, they’re treating Star Trek fans like a Gorn warrior treats Captain Kirk on Cestus III. CBS/Paramount are exploiting fan’s dedication to their favorite TV franchise by holding the new series hostage behind its video-streaming subscription service, CBS All Access...

    Where did you get that DVD-A? I see a few places online but they want almost $100 for it!

    Most underrated 3ch or 5ch Power Amp? (NOT Emotiva please)

    Monoprice Monolith-3 is a significant step up in amplification to your Denon receiver. Rotel and Anthem are also very solid choices in terms of quality and affordability. http://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/monoprice-monolith-7-channel-amplifier-review

    Walter Becker & Steely Dan: Engineering the Passion Behind the Sound

    On September 3rd, 2017, the world lost another musical legend - Walter Becker, one half of the duo named Steely Dan. Becker was the kind of misanthrope that would roll his eyes at yet another gushing tribute to his genius. So, I’ll spare you the sentimental fawning and just cut straight to why I...

    WTB - Audyssey Pro Installer Kit

    I have a complete kit with the DSP box (unbalanced) and microphone, stand and mic preamp, cables, etc. I was about to announce for sale on our forum. I don't think the license is still valid but I can probably request a new one. I'd take $600 + shipping. It's basically this setup here...

    Hsu Research VTF-1 mk3 Ported Subwoofer Review

    Hsu's latest subwoofer, the VTF-1 mk3, is a little powerhouse on paper with a 10" driver, 250 watt amplifier, and dual 3.5" diameter ports. We have been interested in seeing what it can do ever since it was announced late last year. Now that we have finally had a chance to give it a few laps...

    Yea I figured and TBH, STD isn't worth the expense for it as the sole reason.

    Star Drek:Discovery

    Spoilers here so don't read if you haven't seen the first episode: It was a mixed bag for me. Overall it was better than I expected but there were some really stupid things like: 1. Klingon look, lack of mobility, dry characters, speaking with marbles in their mouths, horrible looking ships...

    Dynaudio Unveils Sub 3 and Sub 6 Smart Subwoofers

    I have heard/reviewed a couple of their bookshelf speakers and liked them. However, I heard one of their flagship speakers where the tweeter below all of the other drivers for some bizarre reason and they did not sound good. I wonder if the designer of that particular model accidentally turned...

    Marantz Unveils SR7012, SR8012 AV Receivers and AV7704 Processor with Alexa Skill

    I would take $3k + shipping. It's a loss but I'd rather sell to an appreciative audioholic than a Craigslist killer ;)

    Marantz Unveils SR7012, SR8012 AV Receivers and AV7704 Processor with Alexa Skill

    Denon would NOT make a tunerless AV receiver. I could possibly see Marantz do that but there's really no point.

    Marantz Unveils SR7012, SR8012 AV Receivers and AV7704 Processor with Alexa Skill

    You should buy my Denon AVP-A1HDCI if you,have no interest in Atmos. They don't make processors like this anymore. Fully differential circuits from input to put, class A drivers, quad Burr Brown DACS. It produced the best measurements I've ever seen in a preamp. I hope i can find an...

    Marantz Unveils SR7012, SR8012 AV Receivers and AV7704 Processor with Alexa Skill

    None of the mass market receivers tofay have the robust power supplies of 10-12 years ago. Look at my AVR-X3300 review to get an idea of what you will get with ACD.
