Receivers & Amplifiers

I have one of these amps that run power 4 LFE's Buttkickers in my home theater. I only keep the amp turned up to not even half way. These Buttkicker's and the amplifier make watching movies even more enjoyable!

First of all the MSRP for this is $1200. I paid $475 CAD for it used and I think that it was the best bargain I've ever had in audio.

This is a great pre-amp. I use it with a Canary Audio CA-301 MKII. I use two Mullard cyroed 12AT7 CV4024 and two Telefunken 12AX7 ECC83 tubes. Best that I have found doing tube rolling, and found another user who ended up with the same conclusion.

But perhaps the music that really got me was Louis Armstrong's Satch Plays Fats [Sony SACD]. Armstrong's work after his legendary performances with the Hot 5 and Hot 7 is, at best, uneven, but this 1955 tribute to Fats Waller ranks among his greatest....

A few years and a publication ago, I reviewed Arcam's FMJ AV8 controller and was frankly bowled over. At $5k I thought the AV8's detailed and dynamic sound made more expensive controllers a much harder bargain than before, and I recommended and...

I bounce between having separates and integrated receivers. I've owned amps from Onkyo, Carver, Sunfire, Harman Kardon (and Citation), Audiosource, and pre-amps/receivers from Onkyo, HK, and Carver. I've kinda shied away from Adcom in my critical...

The HK 144 receiver has excellent sound with tight natural bass. I have been an audiophile for over 30 years and this receiver is among the best I've owned. The functions are user friendly and it has a look of understated quality. A great heart to a...

This does the job well and provides protection from acoustic shock. The switches on the front allow you to switch between headset and phone (handy if the calls aren't too frequent - so you can have it set to phone to hear it ringing and then flick it...
