Audio Advent 2021 Day 12: To Bi-Amp or not to Bi-Amp? In a previous article I explained why many speakers have four terminals on the back, and the explanation I gave was to do with bi-wiring. Now, while that is true, you can actually take it a step further and use a technique called bi-amping as well as bi-wiring, to really get the best out of your loudspeakers.     In the article about bi-wiring I explained how the double set of terminals are used to send the high-frequency signals and low-frequency signals along separate wires to each speaker, rather than interfering with each other along a single wire and then being separated at the crossover. Bi-amping follows a similar principle, however you are not just separating the differing frequencies by wires, but also by amplifier. In the simplest terms, you have one amplifier producing the signal for the bass drivers, and

Audio Advent 2021 Day 10: Why your HiFi needs good quality mains cables Without power, no electrical component will work: it flows through your system making your speakers' drive units move, your disc spin and the pixels appear on your TV. In essence, it is the life-blood of your HiFi or AV system, and it needs to be looked after. What we see and hear is quite simply formed by electricity in varying frequencies, so feeding your system with high quality mains is of paramount importance to the overall performance of your system.   The ordinary black power cables that come with all components are made of the lowest quality materials and could have been made for your computer or kettle, or any one of a number of components; very little attention was paid to the fact it was going to be used with a high performance piece of audio electronics. The key

Record Care at Expressive Audio At Expressive Audio we understand the importance of good record care equipment, and the difference a clean and well kept record can have on your listening experience.  Your music is only as good as the media from which the music is extracted!  For vinyl lovers, this means it's as important to look after the media as it is to have an excellent turntable. The fact of the matter is simply that dirt and dust will block the stylus from reaching the most detailed part of the record groove, obscuring parts of the music that the artist wanted you to hear. We have heard astonishing results when listening to a record we thought was clean, and then listening to it after a clean with a record cleaning machine. The whole soundstage opened up, and we were hearing detail we'd never heard before.  As

How To Optimise Your Home Network For Your Streaming Systems As streaming has become more and more popular - both of music, with apps like Spotify and Tidal, and with video too, with Netflix and Disney Plus, one of the challenges we sometimes face when helping our customers to get the best our of their music and movies is that the weak spot in their system is actually their home network, and especially their wireless setup. This has been made worse with so many people now working from home, and a plethora of always on “internet of things” intelligent devices vying for bandwidth in the home. We even see problems when working with architects and builders for extensions, new houses, or refits - it’s not unusual for the network and wireless to be afterthoughts, or to see people spec-ing system with several “wireless extenders” or a number of generic domestic

What Are The Best Speakers For A Small Room? I mentioned in my answers to my "meet the founder" interview that we've rearranged how some rooms are being used, which means that where my HiFi system is now situated, the large speakers I currently have (Dali Oberon 7s) are no longer the right choice. I need to replace them with much smaller speakers.This led me to thinking that this can't be an uncommon situation, so I thought it'd be interesting to discuss the options and considerations for getting the best results out of small speakers for those space constraints.As for what counts as a small speaker? There's no universal standard for when small becomes medium, so you'll have to put up with mine, which is this: if I say it's small, it's small. If you disagree, then just broaden or narrow your options accordingly! Generally, anything less than 10 inches

How Listening to Music Can Help You Learn a Language Learning a language, or multiple languages, is often something we do for academic or professional purposes, but it can also be a great hobby. Apps such as Duolingo and Babbel have made it far easier and more rewarding to make language learning a part of your daily life. There are many different techniques for all kinds of learning, not all of which will work for everyone, but one big thing that can help you on your language learning journey is listening to music. We’ve all experienced the earworm phenomenon: having the words of a catchy song stuck in our head no matter what we do to try and get rid of it. Could music be a helpful tool for learning a language?   Generalising based on the experience of learning English as your mother tongue, I’m sure we can all remember
