| Music server recommendations needed. @amitb What’s your budget? You can go from really cheap to holy cow, I can buy a car for that. | |

| Electrocompaniet AW300M or AW800M versus McIntosh 1.25KW? @usherzaleg What is in the rest is the your rig? | |
| Do Harbeth speakers really need a 4000 damping factor? Maybe I’m wrong, but I believe that Dampening factors have very little to do with what brand of speakers you own. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 Fuse Issue/Question While Pass Labs are great to work with, calling TMR should definitely be your first step. They are pretty good about this stuff and should pay for the return shipping as well. All the best. | |

| Tune of the Day @slaw I had to much to dream last night. | |
| Solid State preamp Brands Two of my favorite preamps were both Hybrid. An older ARC SP-9mk2 and a PS Audio, BHK Signature preamp. I truly enjoy being able to change their sound by rolling a couple of tubes. All the best in your search. | |
| Looking to upgrade my Goldenear Triton ones. Need help Having listened to a couple pairs of Sonus Farber speakers lately, if you have a dealer near by, check them out. BTW, I bought a pair myself that replaced KEF Reference 5 speakers and I’m really happy. | |
| Audio Fantasies Even as a kid I always wondered what those big money systems sounded like. | |
