My Favorite HiFi Audio Brands for 2024. American, Danish and Italian. Thinking Outside The Box.

30 years in the semiconductor industry I can tell you that Audio Group is not making chips in house. The manufacturering is outsourced.

oooff

Fleetwood is entry, but the only niggle is the price. Got it. LOL.

Hmm for 2024 ? The year is only in it’s first month?

:54 Yeah, that's why I bought my Yamaha A-S3200 integrated amp, because it's proven analog technology that will hold up with time and can be repaired in the future.

Demo Album Track; A 1966 recording of Max Roach - Drums Unlimited. 1st track “The Drum Also Waltzes” on this solo listen for that beautiful rich warmth of Roach’s now vintage sound Gretsch drums with his older well tarnished Zildjian cymbals. An excellent natural dry recording direct to tape without reverb or compression. Perfect dynamics as played by Max’s sensitive feel. Move to track 2 “Nommo” listen for that beautiful swoosh of Max’s brush playing against Matthew’s string bass. A very clean recording. All tracks are worth a listen. Audiophiles who love clean string double bass recording should love the lack of mushy artificial low end. Qobuz has both the stereo and mono pressing. Enjoy

Such hackneyed cliches.

What happened to the Buchardt A10's?

I don't buy anything to impress others. Impessing others who visit their home seems to be a common American thing.
Possessions are not a salve for a fragile ego.

Would you choose the Forte over the Luxman L-590AXII? I'm in the market for a 6K amp.

I own a Gryphon Diablo 120 Amp/dac
which i love, but in the near future i'm auditioning the Axxess Forte 3 at home against my Gryphon.

Hi, have you heard the Gershman studio xdb speaker they are ranked very high!

I bought an Axxess Forte 1 last year. I am loving it.

Great review! Need to look into Axxess. Have you seen or heard of Orchard Audio? They make amps using GaN FET Class D and mono blocks as well. Very intriguing. Made USA (NJ).

LOL, regardless what the brand is, how does that matter, do you want to tell they only do the best available products in the whole catalog, LOL, No Brand has ever done that in this Brand rich market. Products? Combinations of Products that work together well that is what makes more sense, but Brand Names? LOL.

Wow! You are showing us the cutting-edge of audio equipment. I am looking forward to your review of the Axxess Forte 1. We are hoping its sound is close to the Daniel Hertz Maria, which is outside of our budget. You do a fantastic job! Thank you.

The Axxess Forté 1 looks interesting but can't find much about power or current. It says "2 x 100 W in 8 Ohm" but what if you have 4 Ohm speakers? Maggies?

5500$ is nothing for this guy , he must be part of upwards wealth transfer group!

Audio group Denmark is definitely pushing the envelope. Everyone who comes across their products love them. Great sound with great prices to match. The forte sounds great.

ONKYO ✊

you keep pushing Daniel Hertz again and again what is the point?

Being a promoter of whatever the latest thing that strikes your fancy is fine. Just quit calling yourself a reviewer.

Which way is the wind blowing today? Your videos are great!

Great info. Thank you!

Thanks!

Another great review. Just wondering what you think of NAD‘s class D amplifiers?

Ok, the fun is over, now let's go back to the real world to our Klipschs and Yamahas!

Daniel Hertz =Mark Levinson

It seems every week there is a new favourite amp or product, I can’t believe one can truly judge so many products in such a short time. I did pull the trigger on your recommendation of the Luxman L590 AXII a while back. Love Love It…
That perfect piece of gear is never leaving my rack. 🤓

Thanks for sharing

My ears love Apple Music lossless sound quality!

What are your thoughts on Ribbon and electrostatic speakers? Not sure if I ever caught one of your reviews of them?

We gotta have a talk..lol

Noticing Daniel Hertz is already got relegated to the 2nd spot.

Not the gato 400s :(
