    JVC AX-Z1010 TN VS Sony STR-6120

    Hi, I'm looking for opinions regarding these two amps. I already own the Sony STR-6120, but it recently stopped working (probably due to a burnt transistor). I don't have the skills to repair it, so I was thinking of eventually giving it to a professional down the line to fix it. Since the...

I am looking at some sort of matrix or switch box that give the ability to change the audio signal path through various Hi-Fi audio equipements without having the need to connect/ disconnect jumpers and other audio cables all the time. In my case and as an exemple, I would like to connect at...

    Buying 100v audio from Japan

    I am thinking about buying a Luxman 505 or 507, or Accuphase E-280 directly from an eBay seller in Japan. There is a substantial savings. Can anyone share experiences about buying audio equipment from Japan? Also, which step-down converter would you recommend? I don't want to add noise. If the...

    Testing Protection Mode

    So this might be a bit of an odd question seeing as there doesn't seem to be too many posts about it. Naturally lot of post have been about getting amplifiers out of protection mode, but what if I wanted to get my amplifier in to protection mode. Crazy right? This question primarily centers...

    80s or 90s Amp recommendations?

    Looking for recommendations for a replacement amp for my father’s separates system. It’s a late 80s Denon system all working very nicely, with an Arcam Alpha 2 amp that was specced with it from new. The amp sounds nice but it lacks a bit of ‘oomph’ - recapping it helped a bit but it’s still a...

    Building a simple A/B box for comparing amplifiers - relays, or just a mechanical switch?

    I've got an old Kenwood that still works well. I also just bought a new AudioEngine N22 (solid state A/B) and am curious whether my aging ears will be able to hear much of a difference if I use the same input (a DAC connected to my computer, for the music) and same speakers. Thus I will build an...
