So I bought the Willsenton R-800i
@chmaiwald  Congratulations on your purchase. You are so correct, the Cornwalls love tubes! All the best. JD  
Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp
What sound levels are you hoping to achieve? At low to moderate levels you’ll be just fine, but if you’re going for loud, you may be looking for trouble. All the best. JD  
hearing loss and amp choices
@arro222 ,  I’m not sure if you mentioned a price you would be willing to pay, but finding an amp with a balance control would be the place I’d start.  
Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System
Music plays here almost all day and internet radio is fine and dandy.  I still mostly listen to CD’s and some vinyl, but when I’m not looking for someone in particular, I plink around the interwebs.  
FREE - THIEL CS 2_2 to a Good Home
What a generous offer!  Wish I lived closer! All the best!  
Definitely a good listen
@nonoise , It’s not Bluetooth, it’s straight off your router. Both the Hegel and the Node show up like any other device. The Node has a Radio Paradise MQA  and it’s rock solid. Check it out. NETGEAR Powerline adapter Kit, 2000 Mbps Wall-plug, 2 ... 
Definitely a good listen
@nonoise Originally I bought a 100’ cat 6 wire, but now I’m using a Netgear Powerline extender. You run a short cat 5 cable from the router to one unit that plugs into the wall and the second unit is plugged in right behind my amp. It has two Et... 
Definitely a good listen
@nonoise  The reason I was asking about SACD’s, I only have a few as well and playing them on an older Oppo 93 and a newer Sony multi player, I could hear difference’s, but  was nothing earth shaking in two channel, (although 5.1 on Dark Side Of ... 
Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures
Uptime’s website has had them listed as unavailable for quite some time now, sighting supply issues, but the supply chain is basically up and running again. Maybe they’re going to stop selling their power supplies for good?  
Definitely a good listen
@nonoise  Question,  do you have a lot of SACD’s and how do they sound using the SLH-700?  
Square D QO Panel Recall
@kingrex  Thanks, I’ll open it up this weekend and check.  
Square D QO Panel Recall
@kingrex I just had a 100 amp sub panel installed. Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance. JD  
$25k speakers, are we there yet?
When I was speaker hunting, I really wanted to get a pair of KEF Blades, but couldn’t get to hear a pair and really couldn’t justify the price. I ended up buying the Reference 5’s. There was just something about paying over 25k for speakers.  
The vanishing stereo rack
I’m sure the Dynaudio Focus speakers will never be same quality as a well thought out system, but having said that, I would be interested in seeing them in action on a HT system.    
Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit
So I just watched some ASR videos and I have a question or 2. Has Amir ever reviewed anything that wasn’t low-fi or mid-fi? I’m wondering what he would say about some Cardis Clear or AQ Thunderbird speaker cables. Again I’ve only watched a few of...
