Is speaker accuracy important for a rock speaker?
Make sure your amp goes to "11". 
You got to be ?& ยท Kidding me
What is so hard to believe? Physics hasn't changed, only our application of it.IME, NOS DACs have a very organic presentation that is rather nice on simple music, but breaks up or washes out on complex passages. I prefer the native sample rates in... 
What size of Surge tank for ET2
Two 2 liter tanks with a small (1/4") hose or additional regulator (making it RCLC ?) between should do fine. If you chose the above suggestion to put batting in the tube, make sure that you have a very good filter on the output and allow it to pu... 
What size of Surge tank for ET2
PVC pipe will work if you use PVC cement, not epoxy and you pre regulate down (as you should if your pump already has a tank) before the surge tank. I am not sure of the burst pressure of PVC, but your issue was with using epoxy. PVC cement is a "...

XLD or Max. I think XLD is the simpler of the two. Both are free. 
How much power is too much for a Quad 988?
Surprised? Quads are one of the all time great speakers within their limitations. They are tougher than you might think IMO. The protection circuit ought to kick in before damaging them. If you are really worried, bi amp them with a sub and they w...

XLR cable for basic beginner
Talk to the Cable Company, get a few pairs on their advice, and send the losers back. Otherwise Mogami from MarkerTek for starters. 
Dumbest reason you were drawn....
I have an old HK that has a positively beautiful purple indicator. 
Hi Rez and music down loads, where to buy
IIRC, you can use a N American credit card and HD tracks will work.Look at Computer Audiophile, or Weiss Engineering for others... 
Tannoy VS Dynaudio
"Dyns always come to their own when playing loud in a relatively larger room"So do the big Tannoys! If you are not sure about them, pick up a pair of the v8 off of ebay for about $200 and try them...Although Tannoy are high sensitivity, they do li... 
Anyone checked out Keith Richards new book?
I thought is was spelled Kif or Kief! 
Is this clipping?
I agree with onhwy61. Furthermore, some equipment cannot handle intense complex passages. A lot of single driver speakers have problems with that. Quad ESLs for instance, NOS DACs too.
