Atoll IN400 Integrated Amp, $7000 (160×2) {5.11h, 17.32w, 14.17d, 43 lbs} Atoll’s IN400 is a true contender for state of the art integrated amp! I say that without reservation. IN400 is right there with the best of the best, regardless of price. IN400 runs $7k in line stage configuration. Add $320 for the DA100 DAC board and $130 for the P50 MM…

The typical audio fest is something like Axpona in Chicago. You visit a monster hotel with a hundred plus rooms of music blasting all at once. Because they’re hotel rooms, nothing sounds especially GOOD. Everything sounds LOUD. There’s almost nothing affordable in the building. Virtually every room features speakers (cables too?) that nobody can afford. A system running a quarter mil is…

Bryston BP19 Analog Preamp $5195 (4.5h, 17w, 13.5d) Bryston’s new BP19 is a state of the art, full analog preamp. The $5195 price point is in line stage configuration. It’s $6195 with MM. It’s $6945 with MC. You cannot buy BP19 with a DAC on board. BP19 is a fabulous preamp by any sonic assessment. But what makes BP19 the best for…

Last year was a very fun, exciting year at Audio Emporium! After thinking about making a major change in our business model, we were able to pull it off in early 2024. We booted all the Chinese products out the door, spare one. We still need an inexpensive streamer and nothing competes with the Bluesound Node. Atoll of France In electronics, Atoll…

Marantz AV-7706 Preamp Processor $3200 Building a preamp processor that WORKS PROPERLY and SOUNDS GREAT is a daunting task. Over the years I’ve dealt with many companies trying to hit the nail on the head of performance and operation. It’s a technological tour de force to make a high end pre-pro. It’s a computer as much as an audio piece. Precious few…

Why Black Velvet? There’s a great wide world of interconnect cables out there. Why do we need one more? We need one more because nobody is doing quite what is being done with the Black Velvet!  There are zillions of high end interconnects. But the truth is, after you strip away all of the pseudo science, the vast majority of these cables…

Atoll PR300 Stereo Preamp, $2500 A recurring topic in deep dive audio forums is, where are the great preamps? We’ve got an easy answer for you- RIGHT HERE! Atoll is a fabulous French company that actually builds its own gear, in its own house, in France, with a 3 year warranty. Price points on Atoll are absurdly reasonable. That’s because Atoll spends…

Axiom M5, $1000 Per Pair {19h, 9.3w 10.5d, 91 dB SPL, 8 ohms, 26 lbs, 10-300w/ch) Bryston and Axiom, Canadian manufacturing friends, merged years ago due to their joint speaker venture. It’s been a home run! Bryston has offered its $5k per pair Mini T stand mount speakers. It’s a 45 pound 8” 3-way, hardly “mini” despite the name. Due to the…

I’ve never heard a pair of speakers as large as Bryston’s new Model T10s in my listening room, and the experience was revelatory. They were so powerful, well controlled, and evenly balanced that I can imagine them as an endgame purchase for many people.”
