    Oh those aren’t Audiophile speakers, but they’re Music-Lovers speakers

    I’ve heard this about speakers many times and I’m wondering what the reasoning is behind it. Is it about flatness of frequency response? Colouration? Performance on paper? Let me know your thoughts on what makes a speaker audiophile quality!

    Yamaha CR-420 - Stereo and indicator lighting issues

    The CR-420 arrived in impeccable physical condition. However, I've noticed two issues, to date: 1) Right channel is weak while in STEREO mode, only. When I switch to Mono, R/L sound OK. However, in stereo, with balance fully right, right channel sound arrives only with excessive volume. 2) the...

    Soundstage from two channels: where does it come from?

    I've been pondering this question recently - "Where does the "soundstage" that we claim to hear come from? In practically every review of equipment, the reviewer claims that the reviewed equipment has a certain soundstage, be it wide, tall deep, flat, forward, diffuse, or whatever other...

    Hey there, thanks in advance for any advice on this issue, it's been a real head scratcher!

    Pioneer sx 828 tant caps

    Going through a sx 828 right now and wondering if changing those tant caps will lose some of the magic this amp has. I feel like they had room for e-caps on the tone board so wondering why they chose the tant caps, I could fit some film caps but wonder if I should leave those alone. I know they...

    Howdy everyone! It was working yesterday, and for part of today. what I noticed was the sound to the speakers was working intermittently, then poof, no sound. I also found a Pioneer PL560 which would play albeit quietly. I figured being plugged into phono, it wouldn't need a preamp. So today...
