@lak I googled RMAF as a disease and came up dry. The closest disease appears to be RMSF (Rockey Mountain Spotted Fever, caused by a tick, and can result in serious complications including death if left untreated. @klh007 This last post includes a... 
preamp inverts polarity
@mboldda1 Just insert a dedicated stereo signal phase inverter between your preamp and power amp if switching the leads on your speaker cables fails to restore the polarity.  
Only One XLR (Balanced) Input - Cable w/ Two Sets of Output?
@rdk777. Awesome!  Please report back your impressions.  
Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
@glennewdick Audible Illusions products include circuits that run tubes ragged. Plan on replacing those tubes in their products much more frequently than tubes of other products.   
Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
@milpai I’ve owned a lot of tube gear. When a tube gets “weak” on the way to failing, it gets a bit more white noise rush and lower output. I usually replace the suspect tube(s) when I detect it. It’s pretty discernible during causal listening. No... 
First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
@professorsvsu. Did you send it into the factory to have it checked out and updated if needed? I did that with several companies where the products had multiple owners. (I couldn’t recall your purchase history of this one.). I sent gear back to Au... 
First impression: Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp
@professorsvsu. Glad you’re enjoying your Herron phono stage. I owned one about a decade ago and loved it.

How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
So @honashagen what did you decide for your preamp, the Ayre unit? 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@tweak1 there you go again with the snarky remarks. I’m not going to post anymore Q’s to you. I’ll just make two statements to suggest you are deceiving yourself with your equipment choices and rebuttal remarks to others. First, a 600 ohm increase... 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@tweak1 why do you think that class D amplifiers are the way to go here? It seems that your bias is that class D represents the SOTA. Is that your position here?  And why do you believe an amplifier’s inherent power output potential is too much po... 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@tweak1  Wow. I’m sorry you took offense to my post. Remind me not to suggest anything again on one of your threads. You seem fairly confident in shooting down everyone’s suggestions with some defensive or snide remark.  
Non-audiophile needs help with older system.
Might be worthwhile to have the electronics and speakers checked out by a local electronics service shop. The price paid for that is worth more than tinkering endlessly trying to sort stuff out on your own time. That’s an audiophile’s hobby activi... 
New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000
Wow. This must be meant for the Asian market. Even those billionaires in the States surely must know their limits to the spending madness.
