I had this preamp with DNA 0.5 power amplifier, it was ok, nothing to get excited about, I found it kinda cold, it had its moment, but overall character was cold.

I took advantage of a used version of this amp that I was able to trade my Adcom for. I was happy the second I hit play and hadn't even made it over to the sweet spot for critical judgement. I used this amp with Monitor Audio RS6's and a B&K PT3 Preamp.

I received this from a lady at work after she replaced the system with a Sonos. I use it as my primary audio switching unit in my office. I have my computer, Sony CDR-W33 and Kenwood TS-590 amateur radio attached to it.

It appears that there have been no reviews or comments on the Audio Innovations Series 500 for many years now so I thought I'd add this.

I give the amp 5 stars all around as it is truly a bargain, and considering what it is and what it costs it gets a 5 for performance. I have been using a 301A which has been upgraded by Jolida. I do not need remote control. I also use an FX DACIII and...

Great, great, amp, and was a truly amazing bang for the buck, probably one of the best values in high end audio, a real work of audio perfection.... Sound is still very real, and vaults skyward with Acoustic Zen WOW, interconnects, and Transparent Plus...

In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, the TA-E9000ES supports MPEG, the surround-sound format sometimes used in Europe. The TA-E9000ES automatically detects the surround-sound format of the selected source and engages the appropriate decoding.

I purchased my OBH-8, which sold for $200 when new, for $60, from a fellow audioguy, on Audiogon. I did so as a way of re-entering the world of vinyl after having forsaked it in favor of CDs/SACDs some 10 years ago. ( Bad Move: Now, I am building a new...

Marantz has been introducing new products into the marketplace at quite a clip over the past year. Even as a reviewer, it has been hard to keep up. Their recent lines of A/V Home Theater receivers are stellar, and even the entry-level products push the...

Introduction Ask someone who was into audio in the early days of high end for the names of their favorite high-end audio brands and McIntosh is bound to be mentioned in their first breath. McIntosh has been an icon in the high-end audio world for over...

Shortly after finishing this review I did something I should have done long before. I tried the Fatman in my main system, with Rega Planet CDP and KEF speakers. Suddenly it made a lot more sense. If you only want an amplifier with two line level inputs...

I contacted Antennas Direct, told them where I live, that I wanted to mount the antenna in my attic, and send the signal to three locations in my home and provided them with approximate distances to each TV. They recommended this amplifier and their...

I have found this Bluetooth adaptor to be the best yet. I would highly recommend it. Easy to set up and use and the charge lasts for ages.

Seventeen years ago I splurged and purchased an $800 receiver to replace a $200 receiver. I remain impressed by the quality of the receiver and its capabilities. While I wish I didn't have to switch from analog to optical when going to CD from radio,...

I have owned and operated Carvers M 400a since 1881. In 1990 (approx.) I turned in to Carver to have volume nob cleaned (scratchy) 1 year storage while in Korea. Product was upgraded to M-400t model. I have never had 1 minute of doubt that when I...

I agree with all other compliments about the Hafler 9180. Owned mine since I think 1993 or '94? Purchased it through a close out sale for a mere $400!! At the time I knew this was a really good price for this amp. I was a bit surprised no one wanted it.
