Doug More of The Sound Advocate likes what he hears in the new Heaven 11 Billie MKll class-D / tube integrated amplifier.
“As more expensive designs appeared in Fezz’s catalogue, a revolution was underway.”
These amplifiers offer extraordinarily high current, low distortion, a MOSFET output stage, and state-of-the-art topologies. And they’re on special for a limited time.
Prices listed in CA$ except where otherwise noted. Some demos blow away my expectations with their sound, and the Charisma room fell into that category. Aside from the fact Charisma Audio wasn’t well known to me, their speakers being demoed looked diminutive, so I expected sound to come out of them in, shall we say,…
With the arrival of the fall-winter music listening season upon us, this is a perfect time to organize your music collection and tune-up your stereo.
The last AXPONA I attended was five years ago. Much has since changed. The good news is that AXPONA was bustling this year.

Life is full of noise. Don’t you want less of it from your system?
“That made such a drastic difference. I put it through A/B tests with some of my buddies and my wife, and they were all flabbergasted by what it did.”
Signal loss is causing your system to sound 30-40% less good than it could. That’s my estimate, and I think it’s conservative. The loss begins at the source and continues through a bog of electronic parts, EMI, connectors, and cables, a long process of loss that doesn’t end with your speakers, but your room. Everything…
One of the most critical factors for getting audio components to perform their best is to supply them with the cleanest possible power. The power you get from your electrical outlet is often polluted and noisy […]
Cables touching each other can have an extremely negative effect on sound quality, especially when it comes to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) power cords transmit to […]
Paul’s system is one of those rare audiophile systems; its composed entirely of gear of the same brand, in this case, made by venerable Scottish company Linn. Paul’s system is Linn’s 5.0 Katalyst Surround System. Did you think that Linn was mostly about turntables and analogue? Only in a nostalgic sense. Before I get into…
“Audio Show” is a funny term to me. “Audio” and “Show”. They don’t really fit together, do they? How can you show sound? Or is audio show shorthand for audio gear?
The point behind our new “No, I have the best system in the world!” series is not to have people brag about their system. Okay, it is, a bit, but it’s a bragging that I think we can all get behind. It’s a brag without braggadocio or pretention or saying that you need to spend…
