| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? @kuribo - Entirely your right to disagree. Specs are far from meaningless and can indicate many things, but not necessarily how a component will ultimately sound.

| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? Not saying you have to spend $100K or near on a turntable, but once you've heard an exceptional turntable setup on a suitable system it's apparent that there is much more to a fine table than just spinning at the proper speed.

| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? Well, that Rotel Michi mono amp must be quite an impressive design and engineering effort. While its power consumption is rated at 1,200 watts it somehow manages to output 1,800 watts into 4 ohms. A Class A/B amp cannot output more power than it c... | |
