Power Amp
Turn it off when you're not listening to it. 
Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system?
I live in Charleston, SC. They call it "The Low Country" for a reason ~ we are at sea level. When I moved here, I hooked up my stereo system with my Magnum Dynalabs Etude. I could pull in some stations, but none that really interested me, so I got... 
Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)?

Dinah Washington, have you listened to her?

House buying and the aspiring audipihile
I love Asheville! I live in Charleston where there are no basements and they love the narrow and long footprint. I converted an upstairs bedroom into my listening room and it took some work, especially the acoustics and I had to trade my tube amps... 
Just bought a Hegel H390 Integrated
If you're asking if you made the better choice in picking the Hegel over the Mac, I'd say yes and you were wise to listen to both before deciding. Sometimes it's hard to admit there is something better than what you had your heart set on. This is ...
