FYI There is no "Upgraded" or "V2" Willsenton R8
I just confirmed my R8 has a 180ma choke which I could see without removing the bottom plate. My resisters look the same as the ones in the video, so I’m thinking willsenton implemented these mods over time. But I can confirm there are revisions w...

Ok before anyone jumps down my throat, it appears skunky designs isn’t a business, and she isn’t doing content for financial gain beyond donations that I can see.  She also doesn’t list any electrical engineering qualifications or certification li...

@chenry what web modders are you referring to? It’s seems like there is only one YT personality focused on modding this amp, she also seems to be the only one saying there were major revisions and referencing a mk2 version. Has Willsenton been sel... 
Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
Reviews aren’t really all that subjective. They tend to parrot each other which is why ai works so well. It seems like you’ve already heard both, and if you can’t make a decision by the way they sound, go by looks, price, maybe size as deciding fa...

Seems like it would be pretty easy to prove if they upped the size of the caps. Someone is lying.

If you found the CW IVs to be bright, hard to listen to, and basically fatiguing after 20 minutes why did you buy them in the first place?

@larryi well said. Changes are not guaranteed to be improvements and there certainly seems to be a tendency towards more is better. That’s kind of where I was going with bringing cognitive dissonance into the conversation, it provides a behavioral...

Actually never mind, I just found this guys video comparison Dynamat mod on Klipsch. Personally I think it sounded better before, less muffled.  Yes, different speaker but I think I’ve gotten my answer on that particular mod, the difference was ac...

@rajugsw please tell me you have some before and after audio you can share.

@wrm57 start with this Click here. You are fooling yourself if you think I’m the one being closed minded.  Ive done a ton of blind testing. I make a conscious effort to be as objective as possible when it comes to evaluating gear.  I don’t dismiss...

Yep blame YouTube. Blame the recording equipment. Typical excuses. And some of those reviewers use very high end equipment and even include links to non compressed audio. What nobody seems to be willing to acknowledge is that these changes typical...

@wrm57 so prove it.  If it’s not subtle then it should be easy to demonstrate in a video comparison.  Please note, I’m not expecting you to actually tear apart one of your speakers just to prove a point, but I think your claim is absolutely worthl...

@atlvalet id be less skeptical if one of these charlatans had the conviction to post before and after videos so we could A/B the difference. And not a bunch of useless graphs like Danny. Actually A/B the before and after with various songs in a co...

No, just no. I’m not wrapping my horns or doing any other ridiculous tweaks. I think the 4th gen Heritage lineup sounds great from the factory, the last thing I’m doing is trusting some diy audio fanboys over the engineers at Klipsch that have bee... 
Need a new integrated, what say you?
I'm selling a Supernait 2 and used to own the Hegel H160.  If you like a more neutral sound go Hegel, the Naim is more focused in the mids.  Either would work well with Revel, personally I found the sound of the Hegel a little on the boring side w...
