Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

I replaced 30 yr old amp. Features and benefits exceeded my expectation as coax and optical are additional input to phono, plus it has Net Radio via Wi-fi as well as FM DAB. Not complex to set up. Good big speaker terminals

I get to review a lot of A/V receivers. Familiarity breeding— well, familiarity— I confess that I tend to sort new examples into one of three classes. The flagship models cost a lot, pump out 140 or so watts from each of at least nine and often more...

A great amp for anyone with a modern, all-or-nearly-all-digital setup. Heaps of HDMI inputs (6), and dual HDMI outputs (which is great!), although the number of analog, optical and coax inputs has been paired right back, assuming a mostly HDMI...

Decent amp with good connectivity. I bought this to compare to my NAD C316BEE, which sells for $379. At 40 watts/channel the 316 created a much fuller sound with more weight and body. The Yamaha was leaner, but not harsh. I decided to keep the 316,...

HiFiMAN ran this combo deal last year (2014) for $249, HE-300 Headphones and the EF3 amp. What a deal this has been. The EF3 amp is similar to the well known EF2A amp minus the DAC circuitry. The EF3 has a three position gain switch and a black and...

Priced at £25, the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner is a no-brainer for those who don't subscribe to either Virgin Media or Sky. And it's a cheap enough addition to their new-gen console experience even for those who do. Its live TV streaming abilities are...

I was looking for an adapter to connect to my BOSE Radio / CD. Unpacked it plugged it in and connected to my Kindle through the blue tooth. It took longer to unpack the adapter that it did to connect. Well worth the money
