| Older HK pre power 725+ 770 v 825+870 The Citation 16 is one of the most transparent amps you'll ever experience. Very hard to fault. Built like a tank. You can dead short the outputs without hurting them. | |

| Just a bit to bright Have you experimented with the difference between bi-polar outputs vs. mosfet outputs? I mean even to audition? Your NAD will never satisfy you. It's simply not high enough caliber given your op. There is a marked difference in general between the... | |

| SOTA diy speaker cables Mitch, you're kind of on the right track. Simply put, what have you put together that either spanks or equals a typical so and so at $50.00 per meter and up? So far your response suggests a relatively high level of respectability considering your ... | |
| SOTA diy speaker cables You got it. I'm sure there are many diy cables members have tried and I'm interested in the results compared to the products offered by the various manufacturers. I'm particularly curious about the U-Byte2 cables talked about on TNT Audio. | |
