    Yamaha A-S801 Integrated Amp unites analog and digital audio

    The Yamaha has about as big of a power supply and 4 output devices/ch instead of 2. It also runs extremely cool to the touch. If I were only doing 2CH I would go this route over a $1k AV Receiver personally.

    Yamaha A-S801 Integrated Amp unites analog and digital audio

    I didn't use my 8Ts as the reference speakers. Most of my listening was done on the RBH 41-SE/B's and a pair of NHT towers. I plugged it into my 8Ts for quick vinyl playback to show Hugo but not at very loud levels. No this amp isn't adequate to drive my 8Ts at reference levels especially...

    Audiogasms is copying reviews from Audioholics and other audio magazines

    I finally had more than 5 min to review the Audiogasms website. It looks like they've toned down their content copying to just using excerpts from our RSS with proper credit to the source and link to the original article. I don't see the need for further action on our part based on this.

    Audiogasms is copying reviews from Audioholics and other audio magazines

    No that site does NOT have our permission. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Looks like they are based in Italy. I may just have to pay them a visit and throw some meatballs at them ;)

    Yamaha Dolby Atmos Receiver Listening Tests and Review

    That tech gave you the lawyers approved answer. The Yammie will drive your speakers just fine as long as you don't change the impedance switch from its default 8 ohms or more setting. The Pioneer counterparts have no advantage of driving low impedance loads than the Yamaha. In fact up until...

    RBH put up product pages on their new headphones but the info is pretty sparse. At least you can take a look at the images for now. http://rbhsound.com/hp2.php http://rbhsound.com/hp1b.php

    Art vs Science of Audio Reproduction: Which Team Are You In?

    You make good points and so far nobody has successfully been able to characterize human preferences with distortion to any degree of certainty. However one point I'd like to make, if an amplifier does well distortion wise with a single tone FFT and sine-sweep, it will also do well with IMD too...

    Don't get me wrong the HD600s are great units. It's just the RBH's are so incredible and I can't believe the price they will be selling for initially. I recommend holding out if you can. Yes we will be reviewing them.

    FS: Velodyne DD-15+ Subwoofer

    I recently upgraded the Audioholics Showcase System to include a slim line sub behind my 2nd row to fix a suckout at one of the seats. As a result, I no longer need 1 of my 2 Velodyne DD-15+ subs which was located midwall. I am still keeping and using my other DD-15+ corner loaded. The...

    I have a pair of HD600s. Nice headphones but NO match for the RBH's. They should start shipping in a month or two I believe. I recommend calling RBH and asking since I may have let the cat out of the bag a bit prematurely. Just tell them it's my fault ;) Bose ads? It must be Google...

    Flattered by Axiom Audio Paparazzi at CEDIA

    I didn't. I was there to cover the show and meet with clients. Harman was particularly cool and did set up a special demo for us. I enjoyed meeting their top people including Dr. Sean Olive. What a great show CEDIA was this year!
