Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

When combined with the NAC 152 XS preamp, this power amp ticks many of the boxes but doesn’t have the wow factor needed to achieve five-star status

I bought this to split the signal from my FM antenna that is feeding four tuners. The loss is a little more than I would like, but this is inexpensive and I can't really expect more at the price point.

I brought the NAD T775HD because I have had NAD stereo receivers before. I am very pleased with the receiver. The surround sound setup was easy with the supplied microphone and the results were very good. I have KEF iq9 front speakers, iq6 center...

After nearly 25 years of want, I finally acquired my dream (solid state) amp: The Nakamichi PA7-II. This was certainly an upgrade from the CARVER (TFM-35x) that previously drove my Maggies. I had considered and tested several candidates such as the...

At new these come in right at around $750, which isn't bad for a goo two channel amp that is an all tube circuit design. I would recommend this amp to anyone who likes the sound of tubes firing pre...

The Rotel RSX-1560, with class D amps, 4 HDMI inputs, and dual sub AND center channel outs certainly has a lot of bells and whistles for a more esoteric brand.

I cannot recommend this amplifier enough. I had 3 of them including an original prototype. I was also a friend of James so let me share a couple things he said. First off he always claimed the output was 75wpc. Also the opamp in this is a special order...

I've been using the NAD 214's, in single stereo and bridged mono for almost 20 years now, and I must say this is one of the best sounding power amplifiers out there, and even better if you use 2 bridged. This amp has PRAT galore. Smooth and never...

I have this set up in my basement to amplify/split my OTA signal to the other rooms in my house. It's powered so make sure there is an outlet nearby. I have it mounted on a board to the wall.

The TA-4A lives up to all of the hype it has received over the years. I have owned levinson seperates, accuphase, and many others and this Nakamichi is just so much better than the current midfi equipment. Nad, Cambridge, rotel, cannot touch this...

This power amplifier has a great ability to perfectly duplicate genuine-sounding theater surround-sound no matter how big or how small the room in which the 5250 is being used happens to be. The THX-certification that the 5250 contains is the main...

For the price, the RME Audio QuadMic is a great deal. While the preamps don't sound all that much better than those you'd find on most audio interfaces, keep in mind that they are really designed ...

Copland products are easy to love. Especially if you've had it up to your eyebrows with poorly-made components, absurd ergonomics and a sense that your pocket has been picked. But Copland rests in an arena of its own, for their......
