Jim Lesurf writes: “Bi-wiring” is a controversial topic. Some people are quite certain it makes an audible difference. Some others are convinced that it can’t actually make any difference at all. The purpose of this analysis is to try and decide whether it is at least theoretically feasible that bi-wiring can make any difference. To […]
Try as I might, and frankly I don’t try all that hard that often, I’m rather taken with the look of an audiophile item to the extent that I’ll buy, or covet it. Yes, it’s sad. But … Or put differently, the sound quality takes second place – sometimes. My Yamaha C1 pre amp […]
From the archives In this month’s Stereophile (Sep-12), Art Dudley in ‘Skin Deep’ highlights the hugely spiralling average prices of American hi-fi as seen in the recent Chester Group New York Audio and AV Show. If we ever needed further proof that the industry is selling smaller and smaller volumes and therefore pricing itself out […]
Do you guys think Dahlquist 10’s + 12’s stand up to todays speakers up to $1000? MORE
If your room isn’t good enough then investing in a wonderful pair of speakers is a waste of resources. Kind of like the idea that if you’re not a gourmet you cannot appreciate fine food. Poppycock. Of course it is true our rooms play a huge role in helping and hurting our HiFi system’s performance. […]

Professor Trevor Cox writes … In March, the Royal Society ran an “edit-a-thon”, to create and improve Wikipedia entries for female scientists and engineers. It got me thinking about who the past heroines of acoustics might be. But as I went through a list of historical figures, Fourier, Helmholtz, Lord Rayleigh, I found it difficult to think of a female example. Do […]
Have you ever had a CD or CD/DVD player that will oscillate audibly, especially near the end of a disc? I have and I have contacted those in the know and the only thing I have been told is that the little magnetic disc clamp may be getting weak. I am not so sure.
When DC contaminates the AC power line what can you do? Add a DC blocker. Paul explains how these work and why they are effective. Watch Now
One of the ways we designers make good sounding amplifiers is to lightly limit the input frequency while at the same time extending its high-frequency response. That’s something that might seem counterintuitive but it works. For example, at the input of a power amplifier, I like to form a light low pass filter of around […]
FYI only / not for sale
Michael Lavorgna writes: This is really great news for anyone following the hi-res audio debate. The debate is simple; some people claim there is an audible difference between high resolution files and lower resolutions, and some people claim there isn’t. There have been a bunch of technical articles on the subject but up until now(ish), […]
