Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

The only reason I sold this is because I had trouble programming the midi controller I bought. I didn't have the correct hardware, and live this unit is borderline useless without a controller. If ...

This tone is pretty cool small box amp tone. If you are in need or a good practice amp then this might be your ticket. If you want to chase after the Fender Champ tone for about $800 less then this...

At new these amps come in at around $860, which may be a bit high for some people with the simplicity of this amp but its not made in China which is a plus. So you will pay a bit extra but you know...

The Sansui AU7900 integrated amp is a great sounding machine. I bought mine new in the summer 1977 along with a TU 7900 a Sansui SR-525turntable and a pair of Technics SB6000 2-way speakers. It was a great sounding combination. I was on a tight budget...

I bought this preamp along with a 9180 amplifier. I'm amazed that something that's 25 year old can sound so good. Clean quiet and on the warmer side, but still has great detail. Build quality is much higher than other preamps from this era like Adcom,...

I bought 2 NAD 7020's in 2016, one being shot was a parts unit (a black 120V/60Hz), the other was a working unit (a beige 220V/50Hz). Unfortunately, the beige unit stopped working after half a year of intermittent use in my bedroom as a radio/CD source...

This review will cover only the phono stage of the amp as I am only using it for that purpose. I picked this amp up on ebay for $207 AUD. Not bad

It was a good first live amp and I did keep it for a few years until I eventually sold it. It never went down on me and for the price was the best and loudest I could afford at the time. I play...

Overall, I love the Livio Radio. It is a simple device that looks good in just about any room and pumps out my Pandora stations. I don’t need any fancy wires, and I don’t have to mess with using my iPhone to output music (Since all but one of my docks...

The Yamaha 11.2CH CX-A5100 AV Pre/Pro supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, balanced outputs, 64-bit processing, high resolution music & MusicCAST, and multi-zone HDMI 2.0 outputs. Is it a bargain? Read on.

I have had the MCA-C5 for a year and couldn't be happier with it. I previously had a Control4 system that was already installed in the house I bought. The Control4 eco-system is awful: expensive service contracts, poorly written software, buggy and...

I purchased this received as I already have a receiver and sender but wanted to extend to a third telly in an extension Ive had build. The quality is fine for a not HD product and a very rarely lose the tv or sound signal. Its very easy to set up but I...

Great little box, does many things right which most reviews will talk about so I shall come out with a few negatives.Slight vibration noise from the fan, pressing down on the plastic around the SD card slot shows the culprit.Not all the apps work and...

A top-class, full-featured preamp, but makes the most sense in an all-Linn system

This little amplifier is capable of playing with the really big and more expensive boys... and winning. If you partner it with the right speakers, the sound quality that the A30 can deliver is truly beguiling

Audio Research's $6000 line-only preamp delivers consummate performance with its 104-step volume control, two 6H30 twin triode tubes and hybrid JFET/tube output stage. With nearly all the detail retrieval and openness of the REF 3, the LS17 is a...

I purchased one of these new around 1985 or so and happily used it driving a set of DCM TF 500 speakers for the next 14 years or so. The receiver sounds much more powerful than the 40 watt rating would lead you to believe I ended up replacing it with a...

Local guitar store....I told them musiciansfriend.com had it for $400 w/ no shipping and they cut their price to $410.An AMAZING clean channel (fender's are renowned for this). Also, because mine is the new DSP model, it has great effects. It is also...

Come for the cool retro design, stay for the clear, agile sound

I have to disagree with the above reviewer on this product. It LOOKS very good but the sound was totally gutless and lacked drive through my Wharfedale Airedale SP speakers. They maybe 86db (not efficient?) but a TINY Class D amp from China and an old...

This is a superb amplifier and one I strongly recommend to anyone looking for a modern, good value valve alternative to a sub £500 integrated amplifier. Before the detail here is some context. I have a long history of choosing valve amplifiers over...

Got this for Christmas from my grandparents. Plugged it in and my records have bass and sound like your playing it off of a cd.
