Different Tubes and general purpose?
Once again millercarbon is wrong. I wouldnt call attention to this if it werent for his hubris and his constant Synergistic Research schilling. I am a fan of power conditioners only if you have power which is problematic. Further, I have never tri... 
Suggestions regarding preamplifier choice
Without listing a budget, it is impossible for me to make a suggestion. Schiit stuff sounds exactly as it should considering the price. IMO not a giant killer just good sounding gear at a reasonable price. If you could find a used CAT (Convergent ... 
How much is "LOUD" still a reference point for some?
When auditioning speakers/systems I always want to hear a low level presentation first.  
Need help in trying to trace cause of distortion
Does this distortion come from one speaker or both? This would be a good starting point. 
How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all??
What I meant is that you could use the best amp and sub on the market and the LS50 is still not going to get you very far when compared with any number of more expensive speakers. This would include a great number of monitors. Not saying the LS50 ... 
How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all??
Sorry but a pair of KEF LS50s with any amp and any sub will not match most anything. Not even close IMO. 
How to greatly appreciate AudiogoN....
I have never heard anyone say or suggest that our mental capacity is limitless. In fact technology is decreasing our mental capacity per week at a rate that used to take decades.  
Just curious — Crown xls 5202 amplifier
Have never heard a Crown amp that in a 2 channel system didnt sound terrible. 
Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense?
dentdog is correct. Isolating a preamp from a power amp in the form of separates will pay much greater dividends than any cable or power cord improvements. In fact to suggest otherwise, I think, shows a pretty glaring lack of knowledge regarding s... 
The shams, scams and dead ends of the High Fidelity hobbie/passion/adiction
I agree that millercarbon's stance on tweaks would hold more weight if he didnt blather on at great lengths about Synergistic stuff. It is one thing if you promote one particular product in a line, but a total buy in is cause for concern. 
Selfless, Audio professionals, who help us improve are life of listening to music.
I checked this site and couldnt find any mention of estate items. 
It looks like a debate to me.
Remove the "de" and you are spot on. 
Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars
It is hard to imagine any designer believing that lower speaker impedance is a good thing. My guess is that the higher power output of many amps when driving lower loads is (was) the main motivation.  
Synergistic Research Cable Risers?
Dylan uses cable risers made and designed by strong women. 
Did you ever hear exquisite electronics at a show??
I have heard a few rooms that were extraordinary, but most rooms leave me wondering.
