    Denon AVR-5805 mk2 receiver

    that's a pretty crazy story and you're correct. The 5805 is the best AVR ever built IMO in terms of sheer power and sound quality. The HDMI failure sucks but you can have workarounds with separate HDMI switchers. Only negative is not lossless audio or Atmos but you can convert to MPCM from a UDH...

    AVID Ingenium Turntable Review

    The AVID Ingenium turntable is a remarkable blend of minimalist design and high-fidelity performance. Priced between $2,000 and $2,700, it features a belt-drive system supporting 33.3 and 45 RPM speeds, a 2.5 kg platter, and an inverted stainless steel bearing with a tungsten carbide/sapphire...

    Marantz av10 and amp 10

    I run all Perlisten speakers (90+dB sensitivity) and hear no hiss and certainly no static from my AMP 10. Are you using XLR or unbal? Make sure the input gains for each source on your processor aren't turned down below their default dB setting. The AV10 and AMP10 combo produce incredibly low...

    Marantz av10 and amp 10

    This is NOT true as you can see in my review. The amp will deliver 200wpc with 1 or 7 channels driven into 8 ohms. The supplies are tightly regulated so there's no sag. https://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/marantz-amp-10-test-report

    Let's spill the beans

    YPAO correction is NOT great but the manual PEQ feature is very useful, especially since I got them to extend it down to bass frequencies. You should learn REW and make measurements yourself to get proper bass alignment with your subs and then EQ out the bumps in response across your listening...

    Yamaha R-N2000A Hi-Fi Receiver Official Review Page!

    Yes you can engage a HPF on the R-N1000 and R-N2000 via the MusicCAST app but ONLY after you run YPAO which is a bit odd that they chose to tie them together even though you can defeat YPAO and still use bass management.
