    I love the Sony WF-1000XM5 but there’s one thing I would change (and it isn’t the noise-cancelling)

    It's pretty clear to me that the level of fit and comfort you might experience is entirely down to your own ears. I am not particularly insensitive or tolerant - quite the opposite in fact - but in contrast to the posters above, I find my XM5's to be extremely comfortable (as were the 4's...

    Samsung’s first ‘W’ OLED TV has the same name as its QD-OLED, and that’s not alright

    Whilst I agree that using different tech and the same model numbers is an issue and is just wrong, I think the situation with LCD TVs in the past was FAR worse! Universally, the 32" LCD TV model - if it existed - would be a different and vastly inferior LCD panel to it's larger siblings of the...

    Class A, Class A/B and Class D amplification: what does it mean for amplifiers?

    Sorry but this article is clearly written by someone who has a vague understanding of the technologies but ultimately is quite clueless.

    Dali Epicon 2 anyone?

    Yes, I heard them. They were astonishingly good. I sat and listened through a decent section of Pink Floyd's The Wall, which was interesting because they played the same tracks at the show last year, but on the Epicon 6's. Obviously being 1 year apart, it wasn't the ideal A-B comparion ;-)...

    Benchmark DAC2 HGC - A new reference?

    100% agree. This is a view I have held for many years but to be honest I don't air it much because usually - on hifi forums at least - there are so many people who take offence and who get quite aggressive. That someone might dare suggest, or imply, they are actually deluded if they think...

    Benchmark DAC2 HGC - A new reference?

    I am reminded of the review of the DAC1-HDR by The Audio Critic. Here's their summary: http://theaudiocritic.com/plog/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=40&blogId=1 The Sound[/b] I am adding this paragraph strictly for the sake of my newer readers. The old regulars know exactly my position...
