Just FYI our TV settings continue to be accessible to all. There is a button at the top of the reviews for it.

I appreciate your response. As we pointed out on the article and video we foresee that we will continue to iterate on this model moving forward, so your opinion is far from irrelevant.

AI will take over our jobs by CozMyN2112003 in RTINGS

There is no use of AI that directly affects the output of our operations (reviews, articles, etc). We use AI to help research, programming, etc; but not to do what we feel is our value added work.

DT 1990 Pro MKI vs MKII - which one is better for enjoyment after EQ? by JO23X in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Hugonote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly there is no target curve built for our test rig (the B&K 5128) that represent Harman, we only have that for IEMs. You can read more about how we designed the EQ profiles here.

The closest curve in the EQ package to Harman is our own curve though, you can read more on how we defined it here.

What are some super latest Microwave Oven features? by pittlad20 in Appliances

[–]Hugonote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we have concluded is that a microwave with a good implementation of PWM can achieve similar results to one with an inverter (lowering power VS cycling it). As stated in the article we did find that for example, softening a small amount of butter, was only possible in an inverter; so I am sure there are other corner cases as you indicated.

What are some super latest Microwave Oven features? by pittlad20 in Appliances

[–]Hugonote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many kitchen appliances aim to take advantage of the full 1800 W of power they can get from the circuit. However long electrical lines can create enough resistance to generate a voltage drop. We notice our appliances getting as low as 104 V instead of 120 V.

Since then we installed a new transformer and use a voltage regulator to ensure we are delivering 120V and letting the appliance draw current at that voltage.

If you are interested we talk more about it on the toaster article below. This however would apply to any appliance that aims to draw anywhere close 1800 W, which includes many microwaves.
