| I blew up my receiver. Now what? Most likely took out a few capacitors and resistors and probably the output device. Hard to tell. Pop the top and see what the damage is. Check the transformer. Good luck. | |
| The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading Sorry I am a little tired and probably not clear on your post. It seems you are saying that without measurements one cannot tell which speaker is a better speaker than the other and relying on your ears is not a good way to judge this.First, I don... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night It is with the deepest sympathy that I write this message to Almarg's family. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one. Find strength in one another and surround yourself with dear friends. Remember all of the good times in your mind and in you... | |

| High Performance Audio - The End? there is a balance between resolution and musical. A designer has to use his ears and the parts necessary to achieve those results.Happy Listening | |
| Analog or Digital and why? I am only digital but we build our own components. The phono stage ($15,000) beats the crap out of any digital we have built or heard period. Not even close but our digital ($10,000) beats the crap out of most analog systems. So IMO in comes do... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. Same goes for my FedEx recent delivery Claim was for $200 for a remote control that was damaged. They paid me $100 saying that was its worth, well yes but the shipping and tax from overseas put it at $200. So I cannot replace the remote for $10... | |
