Fraud Ads Have Been Posted Lately
I have seen them on other sites too.  One good thing to check is do a google image search of the images they provide and often you can find the ad where they stole it from. often years ago.  The great thing about stealing an ad from 2 years ago is... 
New Transformer
Sorry but probably not.  As a transformer degrades the insulation breaks down and allows leakage current.  However, by the time the current gets high enough to see on your home feed, it blows.  It doesn't take a very large fault in a transformer t... 
How accurate are cable descriptions for your system?
I like the "earthy with a hint of anis and manure"...oh wait, that's a wine review.  Hard to tell the difference.      
Seeking Feedback on Potential Upgrade of Roon and Dac
Doesn't make sense to me that you get different results sending digital to your lumin DAC with the Lumin ap and Roon. They are just 2 different ways of commanding the same information to be sent to your DAC.   The only think I can think of is tha... 
Is there anything to help using a computer from digital noise not that expensive
There is a great debate on whether digital is just digital (1's and 0's) or if a streamer makes computers look like beat up cars that should be in the junk yard.  the thruth is in the middle.  It is a debate because there ISN"T THAT MUCH DiFFEREN... 
High current power cables
@bigtwin I know you wouldn’t suggest that, I’m just saying that the logic of calculating power cable size based on Average amp load would say it will work. And 12awg likely will be just fine. Some power supplies have large capacitor banks etc and ... 
High current power cables
@bigtwin Thanks for posting. That is exactly the simple (and correct as far as it goes) understanding that causes people to buy too small a cable.  If you go by your amps power rating, lets say 200 watts, then you need less than 2 amps. An ampacit... 
What size power cable?
While I don't like 18 awg power cords, I agree that the amp is the only one that needs immediate high current.  
High current power cables
To me it is a quandary how so many knowledgeable people don't understand the current needs for an amp.  I use 10ga power cables (not expensive ones) on all my amps.  I recently bought an amp and the seller provided the "upgraded" power cable he ha... 
From Jeff Rowland to Primaluna. Yes or No?
Not in the same league. Look for a better tube amp to provide the refined sound that JR has accustomed you to.

Question about byamplification
you don't need external crossovers to biamp so long as the most powerful amp has gain control. Many will tell you that you do.  Those of you who think your internal crossovers should do the job are correct.    As I interpret the OP question, and ...
