Yep agreed 100% There is no doubt we are the major contributor to the increased CO2 since the industrial revolution. I doubt we will ever slow this down given human nature of greed and only acting when a crisis is reached. Since half our country is in denial of the science, and big oil spends...

The small and elegant NAD M10 BluOS Streaming Amplifier is a streamer, dac, and an integrated amp all squeezed into one small and stylish package. The $2,500 M10 features an MQA-capable ESS Sabre DAC and a Hypex nCore amplifier stage delivering 100 real-world watts per channel. Built-in room...

Uggh no I didn't realize that. I thought the higher end 2CH stuff was immune from inflated power specs. I will bring it up if we cover those products.

Sound United recently held its first ever North America dealer conference in New Orleans at the historic Hotel Monteleone in the heart of the city’s French Quarter. Gene DellaSala, Audioholics’ President, and I were invited along with about a dozen other journalists to take a deeper dive into...

It's not that I don't believe in doing 4-ohm ACD tests but it's impractical, especially for AV receivers. Most high power amps will reach the wall outlet limit with 7CH driven into 8 ohms. So if you redo that test into 4 ohms, you're now limited by wall current and the power #s will drop even...

It's one of those cases where a manufacturer focuses too much on a specific design goal that sacrifices quality in other areas. I've seen that quite often with other speaker brands before.

Thx, appreciate that. Just take my SR8012 measurements and add 10% or so more power. I've got an interesting Integra review coming down the pipe in less than 2 weeks. Stay tuned...

It's a bit mind boggling that a company like B&W with all of their resources and PHD designers produced a speaker with a not so optimal XOVER. I suspected the tweeter lacked enough low end sensitivity hence why they crossed that mid over so high. They could have at least integrated a shallow...

Is there something wrong with the way I've been measuring electronics?

The waterfall plots and polar maps often seen in Audioholics' speaker reviews are colorful and visually interesting, but what can they really tell us about a loudspeaker's performance? In this article, we explain the meaning of these graphs. We try to help you understand what to look for in...

At the recent High End show in Munich, Mark Levinson introduced a new “integrated audio media player” called the No. 5101. Expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2019, the No. 5101 is a CD/SACD player with built-in network streaming capabilities, digital inputs and outputs, and a...

Going live on our Youtube Channel tonight at 11:30pm EST to discuss Inflated Power Ratings in AV Receivers and how we can combat them.

I don't see an option to delete the donation crap either. Seems like a money making scheme by Change.org. I really just started it there as a focal point to get signatures. My apologies.

Uggh i wish it didn't have a donate option. I'm not even sure who gets that money or what change.org does with it. Thanks for supporting our movement though.

Max power consumption is very useful in determining how big of a power supply the unit has. You can then guesstimate ACD power from that number.

Agreed. That's why this is ALSO a call to action to consumers. Knowledge is power (no pun intended).

For far too long manufacturers have been inflating power ratings in their AV receivers and HTiB products. The FTC has failed consumers in keeping this problem in check! Audioholics is here to challenge BOTH manufacturers and consumers to demand more honest power ratings. Sign our Truth in...

I'm on the same page as Wayde here. I'm all for more diversity, but NOT at the expense of trashing well established characters just to prove a female version is "better". Wonder Woman was a very good movie and didn't rely on this tactic. Watch the Batwoman trailer and tell me that doesn't just...

Yes so now that's been replaced with young racist misogynist stupid young women, and transgenders.
