Keith Howards Hot Stuff

Great article by Keith Howard about the effect of voice coil heating in speaker performance. Nice to see an article that is still printed even after despite all of the work that went into it, concluded that voice coil heating was insignificant. Not all tests have exciting results. Thanks for publishing stories that have less than exiting results.

How does Marantz stack up?

I am in the market for an SACD player and an integrated AMP. I've long loved the Marantz name and have my mind on the Marantz SA-15S1 and PM-15S1. So natually I checked this issue but found no Marantz products mentioned anywhere. I am wondering is it not a good enough brand or similar products have been reviewed before?

Thanks in advance.

Any expereince with Thor Seven phono stage?

Forums

I spent a good deal of time in the AW Akoustic (or something like that) room at RMAF. I was very impressed with the sound. I am familiar with some of the gear in there and I know how it sounds, but not with the Thor Seven phono stage.
I would appreciate any insight or expereince with thier equipment, as I am considering purchasing the Seven to replace my Pass Labs XOno.
