If you want great TV sound, do not buy a sound bar. Your doorbell likely has better speakers with stronger magnets. Let’s do it right. You don’t even have to do surround sound. Stereo works magnificently. Start with Bryston speakers. They’re magnificently articulate without being the least bit harsh or grating. In short, Bryston pays attention to all the minute details of…

Bryston BR-20 Product of the Year – Times 2 !

TAS 2023 Buyer’s Guide : Speakers Issue 332 I have always loved Buyer’s Guides. Whether Audio Magazine’s famous Bibles of the 70s or more current versions by TAS or Stereophile- I scour them cover to cover. Just as I memorize too many baseball stats (Henry Aaron is still king at 755 by the way)- I can’t get enough of great hi-fi gear….

McIntosh MA-352 Integrated Amp Back In Stock! This 200×2 integrated comes with tubes in the preamp section and still features luscious Mac power meters. This is a full analog beast that will play as beautifully as anything you can buy. If you order one from anyone you’ll wait six months plus for it. We just got a couple in stock. Why wait?…

Bryston BR20 Preamp/DAC Now In Stock! $6800 My favorite preamp is Bryston’s BR20. It happens to have a state of the art DAC built in as well. There is no better preamp in our biz. I can say the same for the DAC. To get both built into one chassis for $6800 is a downright bargain. Due to supply chain problems Bryston…

Bryston T speakers Outgun B&W

Bryston loudspeakers are built in Canada like a BRICK OUTHOUSE. They sound great and are so reliable they come with a 20 year warranty! Nothing else does- except Bryston analog electronics! And believe me, a five year warranty runs out a lot faster than you expect. Further, today companies look at service as a profit center, not a “thank you card” to…

YG Acoustics Cairn Speakers, $8500 Per Pair (14.6h, 7.6w. 10.3d, 28 lbs, 8 ohms, 86dB) Stands $1500 Per Pair (23.5 h) YG Acoustics of Colorado is known for its price no object speakers. They’re great, but not attainable for most of us. When YG announced in 2020 that it would be bringing out its Peaks Series for less than half the price,…

Ortofon MC Quintet Blue, $569 First of all, Ortofon is a REAL MANUFACTURER, based in Denmark. Yup, Ortofon builds its own cartridges in its own house with Danish TENDER LOVING CARE. I have to tell ya, it’s a pleasure selling Orto carts because they always WORK, and work right. You would be surprised that many cartridge brands are inconsistent and unreliable. I’ve…

JL Audio Fathom F112v2 Subwoofer $5500 (18.5h, 15.0625w, 17.75d, 100 lbs, 12” W7 woofer, 1800w Linear Power Supply Amp) If we consider what it takes to get a system that pushes the BEST POSSIBLE, we have to build a subwoofer into the game plan. There is no tower made that can deliver bass anywhere close to a JL Fathom subwoofer. For openers,…

It’s fun to debate with your friends. Who is the greatest singer, guitar player or drummer EVER? For those of us who love the piano beyond all other instruments, there’s a pretty clear winner- a guy name Franz Liszt {1811-1886}. What did his peers say about him? Liszt was Beatle-mania on steroids. Having experienced the mighty Liszt, a musician at an echelon…
