Nice write up on the HK stereo receiver in here. I have been looking at them for a while just for a cheap clean solution for a second system, and something for a newbie with limited funds.
Good read.

Thanks, Mark. You give me something to look forward to at the beginning of the month other than rent payment.



That 3470 looks gorgeous.

One thing about Sean, he is meticulous about his equipment and getting great shots.

Yay! The best audio E-Zine strikes back! (Or was that the Empire...)

Gentlemen, I apologize if the review of the HK receiver reads a bit rough. I sorta rushed it out of the woodwork. As an aside; it really is an attractive piece. A much "higher res" shot can be seen here;

Looks good. Is nOrh still in business? I've sent Mr Barnes a couple emails with no reply.

What's the deal with that magazine? It looks a little strange to me, like it might be a collection of reviews from readers instead of a regular staff of writers. And why does a magazine called "Affordable Audio" have cable reviews?

Is HK still making the HK3470 stereo receiver? The faceplate on this receiver looks like the last generation HK receivers. HK's current generation is using mostly silver faceplates.

Oh, just read the whole review. The reviewer does mention that this particular HK receiver has been discontinued.

They're a important part of the audio chain. Why wouldn't he have cable reviews?

They're reviews from audio buffs. That's why we like it. They don't kiss butt.
And it's AFFORDABLE.

Riker:
Thanks for posting.

A$$A has several regular staff members (all volunteers). Not everyone writes every month just like Stereophile, TAS, HiFi+, 6Moons, etc., etc. I also audition new writers on a regular basis. Not many stick, only because after one piece they get "worded out".

As for cable reviews, yes the AudioMagic's are expensive that we reviewed in the March issue, and most of their offerings are beyond the budget of most of A$$A's readership. We have also reviewed budget cables by MAC, Zebra, and AudioArt.

The whole idea of A$$A was to bring audio reviews back from the stratosphere priced equipment that the big guns reviewed. In all honesty, I believed we have succeeded, and with other online e-zines/review sites, have brought Stereophile and TAS back to the real world.

Thanks for checking us out.

Greetings from Tejas!

I realize this is ablast from the past, but did you ever receive a reply from Barnes?

I'm trying to inquire about buying a Norh aca 2b, but I can't get a quote or response.

Also, I can't yet PM b/c my post count is low....

[RuSsMaN]

Never heard back from him, or anyone at nOrh.

http://www.norh.com/news.html The 'news' page has updates dating to Sept 2008, doesn't make sense.
