    Audioholics Article Marking Changes for Previews vs Reviews

    Sadly the guy that upgraded our forum to this new platform disappeared. I don't have any tech support as a result. I will try to find someone to do some maintenance for us and hopefully fix this issue too.

    HDMI 2.0 Certifies as HDMI 2.1 by Default for 2022?!?

    HDMI was designed to make life easier for the AV consumer, but new rules about HDMI 2.1 compliance testing have made an already-confusing situation far worse. The HDMI Licensing Administrator says that new HDMI devices can now be granted “HDMI 2.1 compliant” status even if they don’t support any...

    Paradigm Founder 100F & 70LCR Review

    If you only buy a speaker based on a few measurements then that would be true. If you spent more time reading the commentary around the measurements and watching our discussion to better understand the implications, you would be able to make a more educated purchasing decision. There are...

    Electric Vehicles?

    My fun car is my 2018 BMW M240i. It's a sport coupe pretending to be a 4-seater. Not very comfy for my daughter to sit in the back seat. I need a second car that I can haul the family comfortably and also move boxes regularly. I don't like trucks. I'm tired of driving a Minivan. So a crossover...

    Electric Vehicles?

    I'm in the same boat. My wife's aging Honda Minivan is due for replacement. I tried to like Tesla but can't stand the large computer screen attached to a kitchen countertop. The floorboards sound hollow (Model Y) and the build quality is subpar for the asking price. The new Fisker Ocean looks...

    GenZ Demands Better Sound Quality & Spatial Audio!

    IN A WORLD WHERE - sound quality has been crushed beneath the hegemony of convenience and scale, young music fans learned to actually prefer the tinny tones of compression and exaggerated recording levels while dynamic range and fidelity became distant memories.

    Perlisten S7t Tower Speaker Review

    Our measurements are far more detailed than those of Stereophile and we don't see any issues you're concerned about in the spacing of the drivers. In fact, it's one of the best measuring speakers we've ever reviewed.

    Yamaha AVENTAGE 2021 AV Receivers Bulk Up on Power and 8K Features

    The main L/R channels don't have the increased distortion at the preamp level. However, ALL channels have higher distortion (70dB SINAD) regardless of input level drive.

    Yamaha AVENTAGE 2021 AV Receivers Bulk Up on Power and 8K Features

    I tried different HDMI inputs and the problem persisted. I have probably close to 100 measurements I've captured but only published a fraction of them in the report.

    NEW Emotiva 13.2 PrePro

    It depends on your needs. Denon doesn't have the channel count or advanced bass routing. It's sad that some people think they can equate product performance to a single SNR measurement.

    Yamaha AVENTAGE 2021 AV Receivers Bulk Up on Power and 8K Features

    Yea it's OK. I put content on Patreon first as one of the perks but I've that people have been waiting awhile on this. I spent more time testing and reconfirmed my results on this product than any other product I've measured prior.

    Yamaha AVENTAGE 2021 AV Receivers Bulk Up on Power and 8K Features

    You're probably right. However there is likely a Opamp buffer stage between the pre and power amp causing higher distortion in the amp section than there should be. Again likely not audible but academic nonetheless.
