Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
Ok I am all done.  Costs for the electrician was $960. He ran 2 circuits from the box to my wall. Large wire. 20 amps available.  I patched the holes and painted the wall from snaking wires down.  I bought a second amp stand. Then there is the a... 
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
I have a very good system.  I like the way they sound when I get a good recording.   
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
I do not know. All I do know is the main Plinius man here in the USA told me how to do it. And I have all i can do to hook up 2 amps and not 4 of these beasts.    
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
No, 2 separate amps. I per speaker.   
Wilson to Tekton to ????
Time marches on.  I traded the Tekton's to The Music Room. The money went towards the next speaker I grabbed.  Here is my take on the Tekton's.  Great speaker for Live Music. It sounds like a PA system. So, if you love live rock recording here is... 
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
Regarding setting on the Plinius. The amp is a designed with a switch on the rear of the unit to run in Stereo, or Mono and which inputs I am using. I am using the XLR inputs. SO I move the switch to the Mono position with XLR Inputs.   So my con... 
Any regrets in selling gear?

Tonearm Mfg's mistake
Great Job.  I just ordered the Dr Feickert protractor.  
Tonearm Mfg's mistake
I have something on order now for the Stogi Arm I have.  It could take a few weeks to get here though.  Coming from the UK.   
Tonearm Mfg's mistake
I got the paper version with the table. Not good for me.   
Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's
I had a bunch of phono preamps. I last had a Modwright 9.0X good preamp but it cannot compete with the one I have now. My system is pretty good right now. I have the VPI Classic 1 turntable with a Unami Blue Cart. Amplification is a Plinius SA102... 
Who has heard the Wyred4sound 10th Anniversary DAC?
I would love it if I could get a few folks here to come listen to my system. I am a member of the LA - Orange County Audio Society and I go to the gatherings every once in a while.  Sometimes I need a little help decoding the mysteries of speaker... 
Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC
What I would think is if you already have a high quality external Dac, why pay for another Dac that is probably has some restrictions or at least design/ cost considerations built in with a new CD player. Transports are very basic to me. Once you... 
Solid State Power Amps
New Zealand based Plinius SA 102 amp makes my Canton Ref 3K speakers really sing.    Class A and A/B switchable output at 140WPC 8 Ohms Perfect match for these speakers.   
my own experience with Tekton Design
I just sold my Moabs to The Music Room.  My experience with them is good. I added a REL Classic 98 for bass. It was a great addition.   I ran them with my AR Ref 75 power Amp.  In my opinion the Moabs sounded like a good concert sound system. P...
