Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs

Bye-Bye Simaudio Moon Amp
My Sunfire 300 stereo amp sucks so much, every time I tried to upgrade it, opted out always keeping it! 
Subwoofer Placement
Irrelevant, but my bud mounted sub under the passenger seat of '13 Toyota Tundra. When he cranks his system up you can feel agressive vibrations under your arz :-). 
Special artists never mentioned before on Agon
Less likely I'd listen to Dave Sanborn. He used to be great as side artist, but his solos sound same lulliby in all albums.Never heard Berg and Sanborn duel though. Have a nice record collection nearly 10k records and one of the similar highlights...

Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin
That's right!Musicians prefer new and fresh violin sound vs. hundreds years old Stradivarius that are more collector's items. 
Cary CAD 200, anyone had mechanical problems?
I believe that Cary isn't the worst towards heat and heat is usually not problem with a/ab solid state amps that can run way hotter than tube amps. Powerfull Pass mono amps can be used as local heaters in small to medium room. 
Bye-Bye Simaudio Moon Amp

Problem with NPR

Problem with NPR

Problem with NPR
so you're saying you can't get any other radiostation to listen or you're getting too much of emi?
