Revel Performa m22

I mostly listen to heavy music on my headphones, i'm yet to find a decent Hi Fi that i can listen to some heavy stuff on. I'm happy with what i've got at the moment (Yamaha R-N500, Epos Epic 2, Yamaha YST-FSV050 sub, i won't mention cables, it's a bulls###t for me), i was downgrading for years...

I'll be honest with you, i don't think that such a thing like 'running in', exist. I had many pair of headphones over the years and their sound have never changed, either for better or worse. There are/were great sounding headphones, straight out of the box, like Denon AH-d2000, Yamaha...

It is working great, well worth the wait indeed. No more airplay, no more drop outs, fantastic. Future of the Hi Fi for sure.

Spotify Connect, finally arrived, just perform the update. Credit to Yamaha and Spotify, well done guys! :cheers:

I have spoken to Yamaha rep in Bristol during the WHF show. He said the receivers got the Spotify Connect in the first place simply because they sell well, in the end it is all about the money. So even though R-N 500 is mostly dedicated to music, unlike receivers, we simply have to wait.

I've bought it from Superfi just after release date and i loved it since. It replaced Naim Unitilite, which was such a pile of monkey s..t, in terms of use and reliability. So what's on offer here? Build quality is rather nice, obviously it is not sophisticated but you can't expect it for the...

I had a Leema Pulse once, cracking little amp, finished in black with those cool blue lights. I loved the sound, i love the design, everything was just spot on. I had a choice, to either buy a Pulse or Nait XS. I auditioned both, Pulse was a clear winner. I hope that they'll survive as a...

VU meters are back. I've been waiting for years to see them again, i listen to my music with my eyes open so for me it is very important how the amplifier looks. The upcoming Yamaha AS-S2100 looks fantastic and will be priced around £1600, much less than that great looking AS-S3000 or Onkyo's...

Is it a crime, to use tone controls? No it is not, look at Luxman or Accuphase. It is better to have it and not use it than need it and not have it, simple.

Hi. Forget about Beyerdynamics and Sennheisers. Go for something special, it is much better than Grado sr325 and B&W P7 and it only cost £120. One of the best kept secret in the audio world, Yamaha HPH-MT220.

I've never heard about that american brand before, to be honest. I just saw on the internet the pictures of the Zu Audio Omen speakers and i was like omg, they look sensational with that 10'inch driver. I'm a big fan of a big speakers, vintage Missions, Technics, Wharfedales, i had them all and...

You're right, i still don't know how can they get away with that 'HI FI' in the title of their magazine, mostly all you can find there are useless bluetooth speakers, smartphones, tablets and tv's. 'What Hi Fi' my a..e

The 685's were honestly the worst speakers i've ever had, gosh, that mechanical sound. The first time i've heard them, i was like 'what the hell?' My friend's Sony micro hi fi sounded more refined. I assume those new 685 are not that much different. Why pay for that overpriced crap when you can...
