How well respected our EAR products
Paravicini personally oversaw and custom designed many of the electronics for David Gilmour's floating studio, Astoria. If it's good enough for Gilmour, I'd say he's pretty much a badass. 
HD Radio vs Analog FM
I also listen to KCRW…it's da bomb. 
new gilmour album
I would have given a limb or other vital organ to have seen him at Royal Albert Hall in 2005. The DVD is SICK. Gilmour is a total genius and IMO is the greatest rock guitarist of all time. And yes, Endless River sucks balls…should have left that o... 
TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???
Tubes to First Watt M2 (Pass)…sublime. 
Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?
FM analog sounds alive, digital radio does not…simple. 
Purist audio Neptune cables
I have had superb luck with their Pluto cable. A bit cold, but a great sense of space. 
I just returned my second defective Manley Chinook
Get a Quicksilver Phono Pre. It's tubed, will sound great, won't break the bank, and Mike delivers great service if you ever need it…Easy! 
Luxman Class A Integrated Slight Buzzing Noise
Some transformers buzz in relation to incoming power conditions, and this may be what you are experiencing. I had an amp one time that buzzed when an outside safety light came on at night…buzz went away at 7:00AM every morning. I'd also plug it in... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Amen, Jaxwired. Wisper, what a bunch of garbage. 
Linn Kilmax DS as a Pre-amp
Right, Spotify is a poor source compared to uncompressed. It may not be necessary to spend big money on a streamer that is being fed a low-money source. 
Linn Kilmax DS as a Pre-amp
I would avoid Raysonic, as they went bankrupt 3 years ago or so and the owner left all of his Chinese employees high and dry. Their CD players, I believe, were also unreliable. I would also avoid any component that has been renewed or refurbished,... 
Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800??
Fried A/3s, made back in the mid 80s (they retailed for about $600 then). Killer speaker, so good that I own one pair and a second set of original replacement drivers and crossovers. 
My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice
Dfarmer,A budget CD player can sound damn fine, and anyone who has been in this game long enough can tell you that. Please give the pontificating about $3000 players a break. Dylanfan, ignore this "advice." 
Parasound Halo A52 keeps shutting off / protection
The termination should not cause this. I'd contact Parasound and ask what they advise, as this may be a known issue. Good luck (the Halo amps have a gazillion million parts that can fail). 
Weird problem. Bad tube or something else?
Sounds like there might be bill if anything needs repairing (sorry, had to go there).
