HK Citation 22 Bias Problem
Your tech needs to go back to school. I would definitely not confer with him any longer for anything! Did he at least confirm there is a problem at all? Dc offset should be as close to 0(zero) as possible. 60mv is quite high. However if you're tal... 
Listener fatigue: what does it really mean?
Yes, sometimes. Fatigue has more than one definition. Distortion is clearly the prominent one, with you also. Where's the dilemma? You're aware of both kinds. Either one calls for an upgrade, no? 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Actually, I thought Hi-Fi sums up all other hi-end terminology. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Last two posts are not in order. Charles, I truly did think that. I concur with your definition. It's just vernacular. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
In that case I would have to rate my system as 'Hi-Fi' since I am not fooled by it. However having said that, I can't help referring to a statement I made on another thread about a Charles Mingus true direct to disc vinyl recording I have that 'wi... 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Oh. I thought Hi-Fi was the highest rating. Thank you. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?

Log on to the 'Power up' lubricant site and watch a demo. I have some and it's not a gimmick. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Ralph, my experience is exactly as you describe but interestingly, much more so when the Acoustat amps I'm speaking of are in bridged mode. Far more dynamic(or distorted). In either case, very life-like. In stereo it is much more source dependent. 
Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250
Bacon anyone? Hickory, oak, or maple? I prefer hickory myself. Not too soft because then it's stretchy. Not too hard because I don't like it really crispy either. Leathery, now that's more like it! I try to pick the package that is the meatiest to...

It's okay, you can have bacon. This is Agon. Love to hear your take on the flavor. 
how to run a 230 volt line from my panel??
Just do what you want. But make sure it's safe. Not for the AHJ, NEMA, NEC or whoever, but for you. In my own house, in this country, I'm going to do what I want whether some pencil-neck making decisions for everyone approves or not. My goodness, ... 
how to run a 230 volt line from my panel??
Just for perspective, every house has two separate 120 lines coming in. Combining them yields your 240. 240 appliances require two 'hot' leads, hence 240 volts.

Why not go all the way and just get a Lightspeed Attenuator?
