Klipsch The Three Plus Speaker Review

  Ooh Slick! The Three Plus (TTP) immediately introduces itself as a fine furnishing, something to be enjoyed visually integrated into a tasteful decor.

Even the volume control with its beveled edging and satisfying grip pattern adds to the elevation of the piece, visually placing it with ease into any home that cares about aesthetics. And how does it […]

The Melomania P100’s come in two color choices, a traditional matte black and a stylishly creamy white. The SE models offer the same color choices but with […]

AXPONA 2025 is this week!

I attended AXPONA last year and couldn’t wait to return. Around every corner there were delights to both eye and ear! I have never seen so much amazing audio gear under one roof, surrounded by enthusiasts who are drinking in the experience with the same fervor and whimsy. Room after room, floor upon floor of exhibits and demos that had me so jazzed, I knew this would be an annual destination. No doubt this year […]

Technics SU-GX70 amplifier review

Technics SU-GX70 Network Amplifier, $1,999 Hi-Fi Review By Lance Rhinehart http://us.technics.com This stunning piece, out of the box, speaks of high-end audio.

SVS Prime Bookshelf Speakers

I’ve been hearing some remarkable commentary about the SVS Prime series, and in 2024 I attended Axpona where I got to hear their groundbreaking Ultra Evolution speakers. I enjoyed the Ultra Evolution Pinnacles immensely, but was not able to check out any of the Prime series speakers.

Sanus 26-inch Speaker Stands Review

After having purchased Polk Audio Legend L200 bookshelf speakers, the next step was to obtain a quality pair of speaker stands to compliment them. I did a brief search and asked around a bit; all signs pointed to Sanus. I sat down in my listening chair and with a few thoughtful calculations decided that the Sanus SF26 heavy duty speaker stands, weighing in at 35lbs were the way to go. Of course I first looked […]

TEAC PD-301-X CD Player / FM Tuner Review

Sitting in my rolling office chair, my back turned to my listening area, I imagine an eye-level seat in an 18th century concert hall hearing Vivaldi’s “La Notte,” because while writing this review of the TEAC PD-301-X CD Player/FM Tuner, I am compelled to stop and just listen. Keep in mind that my back is turned (a less than ideal listening position) and that I am sending the signal from a flash drive plugged into […]

Dr. Squatch – for the beast in all of us.

As the lore goes, Sasquatch means wild or hairy man and has an association with protection of the sacred. You might be thinking in a tone of friendly sarcasm, Gee, that’s great. But what does that have to do with anything I should care about? Well, like you I work hard and have been seeking the best way to tame my primal, even beastly, stench. I have hunted for and found Dr. Squatch men’s grooming […]
