Tube vs Solid State Amp measured with REW
THD has been published for amps since I was in college 50 years ago.  Probably before then but I wasn't looking.  It means nothing.  It was always published because if a manufacturer didn't publish it, then the "educated buyer" would think their a...

@lalitk Thank you.   I have the Grimm MU1.  Seems to be a good combination. Jerry  
Eversolo a6 and Lampizator
The lite 7 isn't Lampi's latest and best but it is still a very fine DAC deserving of agood streamer.  That said, if a high end streamer isn't in the budget now, look for a streamer that isn't a DAC too.  Avoid the consumer stuff on Amazon.   Jerry

Source for WonderCaps and Solen for CrossOver? Infinity IRS Beta
@ervikingo  I replaced every component of the crossover and the change is both subtle and spectacular.  It takes the speakers to the next performance level.  mediocre crossover parts are the dirtly little secret of <$20,000 speakers. Jerry ...

Good time to upgrade while you're working.   I upgraded my crossovers to Mundorf EVO Silver/gold/oil and put Duelund bypass caps around my highs and mids. Jerry  
Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described
@newwater 100lbs is an arbitrary number.  My 140 lb speakers, as well as many other heavy speakers, get packaged in a well designed box and travel safely.

@jhcjr You would use escrow for a $1700 purhase?

I was denied a credit card chargeback because the fraudster said I didn't contact them.  the credit card said it is their policy that you work with the vendor first.  So follow the correct order (that one did not involve paypal). Realize that pay...
