Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

Above all, this is the most reliable amp I have ever owned. I have changed the tubes once in twelve years, which is insane. It has never not worked, never had a hint of an issue, nothing. Just a to...

Very nice sound, comes through clear with my polk audio speakers. Checking the specs on the device, it has a lower harmonic distortion rate than mostly any other receiver I can find on this site, especially considering the price. For the price I paid,...

Overall, this is a good choice in a cool practice amp. This gets louder than comparable models from Line 6 or Fender, and it has a much nicer look. However, that look does come with a price premium...

I did a lot of research on home theatres systems. This seems the best value for the price. I use it for PS3/Wii/Rogers Cable and hooked Samsung Speakers with a 350 infinity sub and works great. The only drawback is the TV setup screen is only available...

This baby rocks so hard. Came with everything I needed except for the wire cutter. Good build quality! I also like that you have the option of installing it into your PC's media bay.

I don't know if I'm in love with this amp, but I'm sure some people will be satisfied. People who just like to play and aren't completely anal about their tone will find much to like. Again, it's r...

Purchased this receiver new in 1984 and used continuously since then. Sonically quite neutral, even delivery from highs to lows, plenty powerful when paired with efficient speakers. Still is completely reliable, Only work ever needed was to clean...

My only complaint is that the master volume control seems to have 80% of the gain between 8 and 10 o'clock on the control. Not much gain is available after the 10 o'clock position. It should be mor...

Now I am an example of that most unfortunate type of fellow, an audiophile on a budget. I actually got this amp for free from a customer of my computer repair business who was moving out of state and didn't want to ship this and some other audio...

Bottom line, this is a lightweight 112 combo and for my uses it passes the marks. Partly because it's portable but mostly because it doesn't sound like dirt and it's pretty reliable. Never went d...

This is a great all around amp. The clean tones are great and the dirty tones have some cool character to them. I like the clean tones on the amp more than the dirty tones. The built quality on thi...

I don;t think Randall in in production of these amps anymore. I think they have pretty much fizzled out. You can find them on the used market for sure. I would recommend this amp to someone who wan...

For the money it really doesn't get any better than this. At new these amps come in at around $799, which is a steal in my opinion. Having a two channel amp with s many voicing options and outputs ...

It looks cool and eq works great but the watt output is not what it say it is. That being said it is good for the money.

I don't really have much to say other than this is a pretty cool device. I'd say that overall, this is worth it for whoever would benefit from having a quiet amplifier that's easy to carry around. ...

Ask any audio enthusiast about valve (or tube) amplifiers and they'll regale you with tales of their warm, natural sound and rattle off a list of ancient hi-fi gear that used them. But Fatman has dragged this retro tech into the 21st century, combining...

I've only been using MOTU MX4 for a short while as I'm only starting to get into using MIDI, but I've come to really like this virtual synth in short time that I've been using it. This is overall ...

I bought this Audio Research SP 3 in mint condition to augment my system that consists of a custom-built pair of 6146 mono amplifier, Thorens 160 Super turntable/ SME 3009 Series IIIs tonearm with Shure V15 type III driving a pair of DQ 10 speakers....

The Emotiva USP-1 stereo preamplifier is a delightful surprise. It performs far beyond its cost, and this is testament to the design skills of Emotiva’s engineers. I also consider this a major step forward in the image that “Made in China” has. Even if...

An excellent product for the money. We have long been led to believe that the only way forward is through new technology, but this is not true. I am the owner of an upmarket Roksan amplifier, but using this little valve amp has been a revelation. I...

While the Fatman system does require some setting up, and care switching on and off due to the tubes needing to cool, the effort is worth it. The sound is warm and detailed, bringing out the best in all musical choices.

And here's a question. Looking through the game titles, I couldn't believe Activision would've released a game called Bloody Human Freeway back in the early 80s. Things like that just weren't allowed when Reagan was president. The PlayStation 2 version...
