Tannoy Turnberry SE vs Kensington SE - Semi Review
I have the Turnberry and have three amps marantz k1-Ruby, PrimaLuna Evo 300i, Arcam Sa-30 all sound great. But Dirac is a game changer for me. Still go back and forth. But have to say if I had to pick one with Turnberry Gr it would be the Arcam. B... 
Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380
There are some comments on here saying the Marantz uses a switch mode power supply that is INCORRECT it uses a toroidal linear power supply with class D outputs. Please correct me if I’m wrong. And if I am it really doesn’t matter anyway. It will ...

Alternatives to B&W 805 D4
You haven’t heard the capabilities of your speaker with a node. Great for background music and whole home. But not up to snuff for the focal. This is just my opinion   
Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers?
Still using and loving my Revelation threes and rev 1’s and rev center channel all in mint condition. Also still have my T Cinema center channel I use in my big theater room 120 pound center channel. I’ve tried to beat it over the years with the b... 
Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo
Have you thought about Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene. Unbelievable sound! I’ve owned a lot of speakers this is the endgame for me  
Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)?
I had the Kef Ls 50’s Metas on loan from a friend and my 50th anniversaries and i would never spend 1300 to 1500 to replace 50th anniversary now with Dirac in the picture. Using an Arcam sa30 is a game changer and you can set different filters you...

New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ??
No need same circuit on 2000 and 1000 the 2000 has a balanced input that's it.  The 2100 is not better than the 2000 it uses mosfets instead of Jfets. Mosfet has more of a tube like sound. Jfets been around longer some think they have more detail....
