Sometimes wishes do come true, don't they?

Melomania upgrade time! Having reviewed the Melomania 1 and 1+. I think it's time to give the top-of-the-range Melomania Touch True Wireless headphones a try.
Up until now, one product line has always captured my imagination while escaping my reach – Rotel.
I’ve seen their amps online and talked about in public...
To say that I've been looking forward to this review is an understatement. Fluance has gone and updated their wonderful Ai Series Powered Bookshelf Speakers, the Ai41, and Ai61.
Today, I’ll be checking out Fluance’s new XL8 Reference Series speakers. They sit between the flagship Signature and entry-level Elite lines and represent Fluance’s commitment to delivering high performance for the money.
There's a new Bass Bin on the block! Q Acoustics has gone and released a brand-new subwoofer, the Q B12 which is the first in a new range of subwoofers.
Taps got his start with Secrets by accident. His friend sent him a link to a Home Theater system that he wanted to get Taps' opinion of. The link turned out to be incorrect and pointed Taps to Secret's open call for writers. And Taps jumped at the chance. And who wouldn't, it was a chance to get his hands on some of the audio equipment that he only read about in magazines. His first article was in 2017, and he quickly transitioned to video. Taps has taken a different approach to his reviews. A bit of a light-hearted, less scientific, and 'everyman' approach to this hobby that we sometimes take too seriously.
Taps grew up in the 80s in front of the TV. He spent the 90s in front of the stereo, listening to college radio and immersed in DJ culture in Toronto’s then-burgeoning club scene. He dreamed of being a painter and DJ. But of course, reality set in, and he found himself working in advertising and design where he has carved out a living for the past 20 years.
Taps loves music and still buys vinyl to this day preferring it as his medium of choice when listening to music. He is happiest when he’s tucked inside his studio spinning vinyl on his turntables, sitting at his desk drawing, or in the kitchen cooking up a storm. Taps has two kids that he is introducing to the world of art, audio, and music. Maybe they'll fall in love with music and audio gear as well!
