    Hot off the presses, Sound United is acquiring Onkyo/Pioneer

    I fully expected to see a thread overrun by commentary on how this near-monopoly was going to be bad thing. But most seem to not think this will be a problem, and it's not even April 1st yet. It's like the MTD buy-out of most lawn equipment manufacturing companies. Look at the part's manuals...

    2017 Audioholics Product of the Year Award Winners

    A $2500 a processor, and a $3000 av receiver? I'm sure they are great - but alcoholics has always seemed to be more geared to the budget oriented audio guy. I'm going to guess those recommendation are going to be useful to maybe 1% of your audience.

    need opinion on the old TSC speakers quality and relability

    Anyone remember the old D&M holding TSC - the speaker company? This site was pretty positive on their value proposition, and I think one of editors installed them in a parent's home. When they went out of business a few years ago, I jumped on a smoking deal and picked up a couple pairs of...

    2013 Subwoofer Roundup: 6 Subs For $500 Or Less

    What's interesting is that for the specs, that SVS non ported SB-1000 is TINY. The article perhaps should have shown the subs in comparable size to show the differences, especially between teh two SVS units. I had really wanted to try out the SB by trading in my ported SV in for it (my wife's...

    connecting iMac to a DAV. settings for Mac please.

    in itunes preferences, (on my pc, assuming it same on Mac) I see defaults of: Bitrates for audio playback: 44.l kHz Bits Per Sample For audio: 16 I can manually push bitrate up to 192 kHz , and Bits per sample to 24... <- it'd be a no brainer to change settings to highest quality option...

    connecting iMac to a DAV. settings for Mac please.

    subject should be "DAC" I've hooked my lucky dad up with a new system... Emotive Dac to Emotiva Monos, to Thiel 2.4s. He has a basic CD player, but also is playing with itunes on his imac as a convenient source too. The mac is connected to DAC via a 35 foot fiber optic cable. Dad's observed...

    I trust blue jeans. When I saw their name in this article heading, I knew this was something I should read. A while back, I was having heartache caused by a 30 foot hdmi run; they were helpful, solving my dilemma with good value, great service, and exceptional quality product.

    Ultra HD and Physical Media - A New Optical Format War Brewing?

    hard to believe some folks are saying - no one needs 4K. people have been saying - no one needs analog tape, no one needs color on their tv sets, no one needs a TV set bigger than 27", no one needs anything more than 720dpi... people hanging out on a site with a tech bend like this one can...

    Pioneer Elite A-20 Integrated Amplifier: Audiophile on the Cheap?

    Decide you need 100 watts before you go looking for it. not the mention, what is 100 watts really? in a particular brand. Audioholics just ran an article about what vendors do to get to put a magic 100 watts label on a box. . I'd rather they focus on good sound.

    Pioneer Elite A-20 Integrated Amplifier: Audiophile on the Cheap?

    A good option to consider too, if this article is catching your eye, is the NAD integrated units. I've been doing research for an integrated, and although I can't offer a personal recommendation yet - this puppy's at the top of my list right now: NAD - C326BEE - Integrated Amplifier-Spearit...

    Pioneer Elite A-20 Integrated Amplifier: Audiophile on the Cheap?

    Pioneer calls it an integrated amplifier -- but you're calling it a receiver. Isn't the term receiver reserved for a integrated amp WITH a tuner ?
