Hey all,
Came across a set of Technics SB-X30 at a local second hand audio store. Can't find much information or any eBay sales on them that would indicate how they are perceived.
If anyone can help me find some write-up about these speakers it would be greatly appreciated.
And yes, they are...
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you look around a room and realize, “I don’t belong here and everybody knows it.”? Growing up lower-middle class in the US and being in constant economic peril until about the age of 30, I sure have. This is the story of how a pair of speakers...
I recently acquired a pair of Vandersteen Treo CTs that made me reevaluate my whole audio set up. This is what I have learned about DACs and streaming:
I am a 99% digital streamer. Outside of the very occasional record spin, I use Tidal and occasionally YouTube and PlexDash for things not...
I recently retired my Pioneer PL-L1000. The cost of repair would exceed its value. So I've been poking around for a replacement. I ran across a really beautiful Empire 398.
Before we get too far into this, here's what's driving my system. Marantz 250 with a 3250B preamp, Klipsch Quartet. My...

Just thought I’d write a quick impression of this budget receiver.
I picked up mine used for about 250 bucks, which seems to be pretty regularly available price in my area on craigslist or offer up. I was getting sick of using vintage flagship receivers in my living room setup. Having remote...
The title of the post is the conclusion of the review, so if you’re not looking to read a mid-pandemic speaker fanatic wax philosophical about “audiophilia” and maybe realize the pursuit of audio perfection is futile, you can stop here. However, if you too spend an inordinate amount of time...
It’s not often I make gear purchases on a whim. However, when Adorama had the Triangle BR08s on sale for $900 a pair, I just kind of clicked “buy”. I’d seen a ton of reviews for the BR03 all saying essentially, these are the new kings of budget audio (inevitably to be replaced by a new “king”...
Hi folks, I recently put a system together and learned a lot from folks on AudioKarma. I’m new as a poster to AudioKarma and wanted to kick things off with my first audio review. It is of Fritz Heiler’s Carbon 7 SE Mk II bookshelf speakers. I have no professional relationship of any kind to...
Coming soon (probably tonight or in the next few days)!
My system (for reference):
Dynacos A25s (completely original, they have not been recapped)
Hitachi Ha 610 (recapped with Elna Silmics back in November)
Kenwood KD 500 with Syntec S-220 (Rewired with KAB superflex)
First Impressions (less...
Note: I was sent this opamp by Burson. All I was asked for was an "honest review" posted on one of the sites I'm a regular on, no strings attached. I'm not a paid reviewer and I will be honest in my "value" section below. Just want to be upfront! Feel free to call me a shill!
I’ve never built...
Good evening everyone,
Having the chance to sit down after finishing tonight's project (which took nearly 7 hours), I was compelled that my experiences were worth writing about. Just before Christmas I found a pair of Pioneer CS 99A speakers on craigslist by some miracle for only $100 and...
I had just watched this old review from Thomas & Stereo where he gushed uncharacteristically about their sound quality. I find him to be the most reasonable YouTube reviewer, rarely going into hyperbole about every new piece of equipment he gets and always reminding people of the context of HiFi...
I have lived with the Silver 6 for several months now, and love the sound more than any other speaker I've owned. Clarity, resolution is excellent. A two-and-a-half-way design, the upper woofer is tuned via a port high on the rear of the cabinet to a higher frequency (handing the mids) than...
First, let me 'fess up. These are the two best headphones I've heard in many years, like decades. I listened to some Stax Lambda Pros a good bit back in the 80s. Those were the best I heard then, and that was a long time ago. Aural memory being what it is, I certainly cannot compare those...

Here I am, Sitting at my kitchen table, writing a review on these wonders during a work day.
I live in the North East, on Cape Cod, and we have a blizzard warning in affect which closed my work today.
I figured this is as good a time as any to sit down and jot down some impressions of these...
For whom it may concern, i was reading a lot in the past couple of weeks, trying to decide what DAC from the "entry spend level" DAC's would be the most significant improvement to my audio system.
i actually wasn't aware that there was something wrong with my setup until i visited a friend who...
No, this is not a brand war bait.
Instead, I've been so accustomed to the sound of JBL titanium tweeters, because most of my speakers belong to the family: JBL 120Tis, a single JBL 4410 for center speaker, JBL LX 44s, and JBL L20Ts on my secondary system. As such, I couldn't help but comparing...

Hey everybody,
I am gonna review the too few known or appreciated Asus essence one mkII, a DAC made by a computer components making company and some of the finest sound cards for computers. Basically, a sound card is a DAC so there was just a step between audiophiles DAC and soundcards...
Hi, my name is Sachin & a few months back I replaced my old Denon X500 receiver, with Denon X2300W. The Denon X2300W is a good for the price, which comes with Audyssey XT Calibration software.
After calibrating, the receiver showed its true capability & the sonic performance was mind-blowing.
I...
I've had a Sansui 1000a for some time that I've been afraid to turn on because of old caps. I've decided to send it to them for a cleaning and recap. They said that it'd be a three month turn around on the project. I can't wait to actually get it back and put it through its paces (without...
