The 12V trigger kills me. The infrasonic bass bump is odd for sure. I will be testing how that effects vinyl playback in my system. I had to measure that a few times to make sure it wasn't something weird on my end but Marantz confirmed my test results and gave their reason. Nobody is using a...

I could do without Dirac but a manual PEQ would have been dope. Also, 12V trigger :(

This is a discussion thread to support my review of the new Marantz Link10n 2.1CH Streaming Hi-Fi Preamp. Our bench tests of the Marantz Link 10n revealed textbook-level performance from its discrete DAC, phono stage, and robust analog preamp, proving it’s built as much for musicality as for...

Depends on what is important to you. If sound quality, build quailty and bass extension are important, than the clear winner was Perlisten. If more casual listening and value (sale price of $12k) are more important to you, then the Revel wins.

After years of requests, it’s finally happening—I brought the Revel F328Be and Perlisten S7t into the same room for an epic speaker shootout. Both of these tower speakers are world-class, with stellar CTA-2034 measurements, but make no mistake—there are real differences in how they perform. If...

Too late. I already measured and reviewed it back in 2017 :) https://www.audioholics.com/subwoofer-reviews/rbh-sound-i-12-e-subwoofer-review

Some extensive listening tests of the new HSU D15-Chimera SC by Jacob Green have been added to our First Look article: https://www.audioholics.com/subwoofer-reviews/hsu-d15-chimera-subwoofer

I got that feature added to all new Marantz and Denon 4sub enabled products :)

Not anytime soon but check out our review where Shane Lee goes into extensive listening and use testing.
