Thanks, that really helps. I agree about the Duet but if you saw the room you’d see why realistically I don’t have space for two more speakers.

I have a 5 channel power amp (Rotel RMB1585) and 13 channel preamp (Anthem AVM60). The system is in a cluttered 18 x 20 foot room with built in bookshelves on 3 walls and an A-shaped ceiling, so there isn’t a lot of space left, which is why I bought a five channel power amp instead of a 7. i've...

On the subject of Google, you can avoid its apparently biased search results and also avoid search engine tracking by using DuckDuckGo as your standard search engine.

If you're in an EU country, banana plugs are prohibited. Twin banana plug spacing of 3/4 inch is close to the 19mm spacing of the European 220V power outlet, so it's simple to insert the twin banana plug into the power socket!! It sounds funny until you electrocute yourself. To put it another...

I have a Torus 15 amp power conditioner, about 5 years old. It has until now always been silent and problem-free. Typically 9 of its 10 outlets are in use. About two weeks ago I bought a new Rotel 200 x 5 watt/channel power amp which draws max 1100 watts (=about 9.2 amps) but at idle draws < 1...

I would add to the list a great site of long standing, with a quirky interface that ultimately works well after a little getting used to. Heavy on text and photos, with an extensive collection of music and audio reviews. It has numerous small uniformly formatted ads grouped tastefully together...

I thought this was someone's idea of an April fool's joke. Not happy at all. Does anyone have experience with Arcam audio in Britain, and especially with the Arcam UDP-411 blu-ray player, which is a lot more expensive but appears at first glance to have a similar feature list?

Thanks for pointing that out, I had no idea I could use my computer as a preamp. You piqued my interest so I’m going to look into it. All the best.

Hi and thanks for an interesting review. Based on your description, this software only works with audio files stored on or streamed through a computer since the filters are not only created but also applied in the computer. Is this right? If so it won’t have any effect on audio from CDs...

Hi. The Oppo website has an article about the effects of digital audio jitter and how it can be more or less eliminated. I think this is at the heart of why, as you noted, high end DACs produce better sounding music. These articles are pretty technical but you’ll probably be able to follow the...
