This is a fantastic amp at a fantastic price. at new these amps come in at around $2500, which isn't bad for a Bogner amp that is multiple channels. The XTC range from $3800- $4200. Granted that is...

The Traxis 3500 has a ton of features that make it easy to use. The unit is small, unobtrusive and never runs hot. It can handle any Ku band signal out there and will give a decent picture even from weak transponders. It is perfect for legal FTA. It...

For many years I was exciting about class A amplifiers. I am also very interested about vintage amplifiers - some of them I own or I owned, like an excellent Marantz PM-94 class AB amplifier for example. I enter into the high-class of Accuphase gears...

Well, there's so much to say about this magnificent and fine piece of amp. This amp is installed on a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta. The first thing to say about it begins with its crystal clear sound, in my case this amp is driven by an 5 years old pioneer...

Best headphone amplifier £500+, Awards 2010. A stunning headphone/amp combo that digs deeper into the recording than anything else we’ve heard at this price level

My first desktop amp I got was the Schiit Asgard. Can't believe I went so long with just weak portable amps. I bought the Asgard for the HD-600. Found it drove that perfectly, but made my K702 and K601 sound like poop. ATH-AD2000 also sounded bad too....

the Millenia is a deceptively simple amp. It has a beautiful black case and ONE control: volume. It has an 1/8" input jack on its front panel along with the volume knob and nice blue power indicator LED...and it has speaker outputs and RCA inputs on...

I decide I must take the time to post a review of this fine tube headphone amplifier, the Woo Audio WA6. Mine is the black finish and built in 2012.

I've gone through 9 preamps in the last 5 years. The one that lasted the longest was one of the cheapest, a used Arcam c31. Quite simply, it did the most right while doing the least wrong. Others had been more dynamic, more balsy, warmer, but the Arcam...

The VS115 is a tool to do a job, and that's to play music well. Ignore the looks and enjoy the sound

I have heard quite a few tube amps over the years-- VTL, Cary, VAC to name a few. My favorite was a VAC Avatar integrated that sounded magical driving a pair of B&W speakers. Today, with a family, I cannot afford high-end audio gear. I also have a two...

This is going to be an expensive piece of gear regardless, so that must be established first. Realistically, there is no need for anybody but a studio owner to own this gear, or at least somebody w...

To me, the defining sonic trait of the Lector Zoe is its sparkling highs. The crash of cymbals is bold, even real. I find this preamplifier neutral overall, with the exception of a hint of warmth and forwardness in the mid-range, which gives the music...

I first used the Vintech Audio X73 about two years ago and have since always been impressed with this pre whenever I am able to use it. I believe that Neve makes the best microphone preamplifers t...

This is a really great amp. Simple, no frills, no extra features, just solid tone all around. I'd say this is expensive enough that it's probably not worth it unless you either own a studio, or are...
