    The Ultimate AirPods Pro Alternative? Denon's AH-C830NCW True Wireless In-Ear Headphones, a Full Review

    If the P17's can survive cross fit that's good enough for me. I think at times Marine boot camp can be easier. Another fine review... 10.4 on that. Price point I think is in line with those mid level, home bound, amp-aided phones from Senn, Hifiman, Beyer etal. I can easily deal with that...

    The Ultimate AirPods Pro Alternative? Denon's AH-C830NCW True Wireless In-Ear Headphones, a Full Review

    Copy that Todd thank you. My preference as stated, is over ear. Other than the occasional warmth & sweat of the pads I get excellent freq response with this design and they certainly remain stationary. With that said (noting the small control issue) do I get very similar or identical...

    The Ultimate AirPods Pro Alternative? Denon's AH-C830NCW True Wireless In-Ear Headphones, a Full Review

    A huge consideration for me re BT phones is the buds repositioning while working out. I had IEM's and went with over ear (currently 66 Audio Pro Voice) because of this common "flaw". I like this product and review... however these things gotta stay where I put em. If not, it's a deal breaker.

    JBL Reveals Two New Speakers with Retro Flair: The L75ms Music System and L52 Classic Bookshelf Loudspeakers

    This statement carries some real accuracy. Similar to buying that lime green Challenger SRT. Wow, looks awesome today but a year or two from now? A buddy had similar JBL's in '79 & '80 and were punchy as heck and I liked them a lot. Don't know where he is today or those speakers.

    Aperion Audio MKII Planar-Magnetic Flat Ribbon Super Tweeter - Extend That High-End! Full Review!

    Well articulated review. I have thought about this specific Aperion product for my Omega Super3 U's. There is nothing I dislike about my Omegas, nothing. And here lies my concern. To push (augment) the higher end of the (exceptional) RS5 driver above the rated 20 kHz may alter the sound the...

    Marantz’s Latest SR AVR Installments are Simply Delicious, Including the New Flagship SR8015 with DTS:X Pro

    Nice read (review). Thank you. Always favored Marantz and Denon for AVR gear. Yes, the way it is (always) in mid + audio. "Marantz’s latest and greatest are hardly budget-oriented..."

    Comment by 'FireGuy' in item 'Final set up'

    Current (rear) surrounds are Emotiva XRM-4.1 sats. Others (not in use now) are Axiom QS4's on stands. I could get a slightly larger TV but it would have minimum impact with not-so-minimum effort. Listening area is mid field (where the Omega's absolutely shine BTW) also contributes to leaving...

    Comment by 'FireGuy' in item 'Final set up'

    Thank you. A bedroom once occupied by my younger son that sits atop the garage. When I started the conversion I placed some older Sansui speakers, vintage Pioneer receiver and direct drive TT. Sound was okay but to my ears didn't have the resolution and refinement of today's gear. The Omegas...

    Final set up

    Thank you. Yes, rear surrounds are Emotiva XRM-4.1 with Axiom QS4's in the bull pen. I'll switch out the mains with the Hoyts and Axioms occasionally. The room is best suited for stand mounts. Towers would just overpower the space for mid field listening. The Axioms are very linear and...

    Axiom Audio AxiomAir N3 Wireless Speaker Review

    Somewhat late to this review...but it's a terrific read Todd. For me the conclusion not surprising, I've owned Axiom bookshelf speakers for years (have all their models except the new M5) and know first hand how good the products are. I was able to spend a weekend a while ago at Axiom's site...
