But they didn't see fit to equip the 190v which is actually their latest amplifier, albeit an update of the 190.

I just don't get it with some of these Scandinavian makes - Hegel wants you to cough up 5-6k GBP before you can get Tidal Connect, anything below their H400 and you only get Spotify Connect.

I love all the Genesis stuff, from PG up to and including Invisible Touch. His solo stuff was good too, but I can't listen to it all in one go. Genesis I can. And even his Brand X stuff, which your silly jazz rock fans tout so much, indeed can't escape his solo/Genesis stuff. So not bothered to...

Ah apologies.

A traditional NAS drive does not appeal to me anymore.

Amazon Connect does not exist If they can do it in firmware I'm sure they will. But sometimes a hardware change will be needed. HEOS is now Qobuz Connect ready across several Denon and Marantz players, but not all.

OUCH. Our erstwhile Andrew Everard has his two cents.... https://www.hifinews.com/content/new-cd-players

I'm probably sailing close to the wind for linking to this review. But even more interesting than the rating is what it reveals about the components, as ever sometimes what the specs tell you is completely nothing. CA knew precisely what they were doing...

I do still rather enjoy his videos.

I'm not sure I agree with the herd on that the room makes the biggest difference. Yes, the room may affect bass and high frequency balance. But, for example, room treatment or correction will still not cure a speaker or component that exhibits sibilance. I find John Darko's emphasis on this in...

Cyrus do provide their own cabling in the box, to be fair.

I don't get the hate for headphones. I use them when I'm out for vacations or at hotels. And Dave_, you obviously haven't heard a good pair with a good source, going by your comments about soundstage. It's a known fact that the early iPods used top-tier DAC chips, and those things really did...

Wharfedale have just launched their new EVO 5 Series speakers. And they describe all the improvements on their website. 'Pair large text with an image to give focus to your chosenInstead of using a dome or cone to push air forward in pistonic fashion'. 'It also produces a wider frequency range...

Yeah, Cyrus has finally wakened up to the fact that customers think of their external power supplies as a scam So they've entered the real world. But they will charge an arm and a leg for that acknowledgement. How sweet. They do look gorgeous though.
