Well, I have to tell you that I hooked up my 4B3 last night and expected to listen for a half hour or so. Not at all what happened! After playing the very first track on my Middle Ts which I’ve had for some time now. I was nothing short of mesmerized. To say that the amp transformed my system would be an understatement. EVERYTHING was so much better…

ZORBER PANELS

Diminish The Reverb In Your Listening Room $250/pair There is an acoustical problem in practically every listening room we encounter. REVERBSLAP ECHODRYWALL BOUNCE Call it whatever you like, but it’s there. Almost always. With a nice hi-fi system or home theater, the goal is to hear the speakers, not the REFLECTION of the speakers after bouncing off the walls. Reflections sound like…

Black Velvet Cables are Awesome!!!
January 5, 2018
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 sound bright…
Bryston 14B: 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆
January 3, 2018
Bryston understands the importance of implementing exceptionally high-quality parts in life-saving medical equipment, and the company now applies that philosophy to creating cost-no-object audio components. Bryston products are hand made in the Canadian facility, with no outsourcing and no shortcuts. New products are not introduced annually to artificially improve the lineup and drive sales; rather, Bryston introduces new models when they contain real advancements–which is what Bryston promises with its new Cubed amplifier line, consisting of the 28B , 14B , 7B , 4B , 3B , and 2.5B .
Bryston 4B Cubed Wins Another Award!
December 30, 2017
Exceptional Value awards are presented to components whose sound quality is usually associated with products costing far more. The Bryston 4B3 stereo/mono amplifier has virtually faultless sound and with the added ability to drive just about any speaker with ease. The 4B3 may well be the best value today in a high-end, high-powered, solid-state amplifier.
Dave’s Faves – Kimber Kable 8 Pair
December 27, 2017
Kimber Kable 8 Pair Speaker Cable Two 10′ Runs with bananas or spades, $432. $21 per foot plus terminations Speaker cable matters. The more revealing your system is, the more it matters. If you have a garden variety receiver with garden variety speakers, zip cord is fine. That gear is like a dusty window that won’t let you see CLEARLY- what’s on…

What Do I Need In A Stereo Preamp?
August 26, 2017
1) Balanced & RCA Inputs & Outputs Yep, I might run a CD player or DAC with BALANCED outs. I WILL run a power amp that has BALANCED ins for sure. I need balanced ins & outs for sure. Further, these can’t be CONVERTED. They cannot be XLR inputs without a true, dual rail balanced design in the preamp circuitry. It’s gotta…
Reviewer Loves Bryston 14B Cubed!

Bryston 4B Cubed Raved Again
May 29, 2017
I was blown away by its amazing transparency, absolute control, and very smooth, very linear sound. In my system, its sound was nearly flawless — no matter what I listened to. I couldn’t imagine the sound being much better, at least in terms of accurate reproduction.
Should I Upgrade Power Cords?
May 25, 2017
Yes butttttt… Audiophiles are skeptical of CUT ABOVE power cords improving the sound of their systems. That’s understandable because… the vast majority of hobbyists who have tried these cables, plug them right into the wall or a surge protector THAT DOESN’T IMPROVE YOUR SOUND. Whether that surge protector has a fancy name or is a Menards 6 banger, very few do anything…
Best Opus #1?
May 5, 2017
Let’s consider… whose first published work is “the best?” Yes, I know this is a very subjective topic, but since I’m writing it, I get to spout off. Among music aficionados, this is a regular conversation. I haven’t seen any fist fights break out, but I’ve seen heated arguments! Being a piano man first and foremost, you can infer that instrument has…
