Welp, I’ve gone and bought myself a streamer. Welcome to my marginally unbiased review of the Cambridge CXN V2 Network Streamer. It’s a winner and it has changed the way my family listens to music.
The Ai60 is the latest powered bookshelf speaker offered by online audio retailer Fluance. With a built-in Class D amplifier and 6.5-inch woofer, they deliver high-end performance in a small size and at the small price of just $299.
Today, I’ll be checking out the RT85 turntable from Canadian upstart Fluance. They have released a barrage of new products over the last few years. Entire ranges of speakers and music systems are now joined by turntables. I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing a few pieces and have been thoroughly impressed by the sound and build quality of their product, especially for the reasonable prices. How will the new Reference Turntable fare?
The Yoyo L is exactly what Cambridge claims it to be: An All-In-One Home Audio System. riced at $399.99 USD, the Yoyo L is the largest of Cambridge’s Yoyo..
Hot off the heels of my review of the amazing Q Acoustics 3050i, Q Acoustics decided to send along a pair of their 3020i Bookshelf speaker for a run through. How could I ever pass up such an offer? Let’s do this!
Established in 1999, Fluance is an online, North American-based audio company that produces high-end Home Audio, Music Systems and now High-Fidelity Turntables.
Whenever I have the opportunity to get my hands on a bit of Yamaha gear, I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. My first amp was a Yamaha, and it served me well for many years, so I was happy to be offered their new 2.1 MusicCast BAR 400.
Fluance’s Signature Series Bookshelf Speaker aims to take a sizeable chunk out of the budget speaker market with it’s latest offering. Does it live up to all of Fluance’s lofty claims?
Some guys get sweaters, others get ties. But my wife is pretty amazing and this year, she went and got me the Cambridge Audio CXA60, an amp I have lusted over since it was released. Woo-friggin’-Hoo!!!
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!
