The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
Many of you are showing a fundamental misunderstanding of how most amps react to low impedance speakers. Low impedance is never a good thing. Low impedance is neither a good nor a bad thing. It is what it is. When low impedance is present, appr...

Artificial intelligence nails it. How about that?

My sarcasm detector is chirping. It probably needs new batteries.  
Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
@oberoniaomnia, aren’t both cables in the photos above DC power from the power supply to the receiving equipment. Wouldn’t that be comparing apples to oranges. @jea48 The cables shown in the pics carry DC power, but how is DC vs AC apples to ...

Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
Why do equipment manufacturers provide a power cord at all? Leave it up to the customer to decide what kind of cord he/she wants.  @oberoniaomnia  My unverified guess is that if the equipment is certified, a power cord must be included.   I... 
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
@dhite71  I saw that Eggleston ad you're talking about in usam. The crossover build looks legit. The seller used some massively expensive components rarely if ever seen in $2500 speakers, and the workmanship looks fine. If I were interested, I ...

Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype)
there was one unit that remained available for months. I can only assume that this was due to the owner putting in aftermarket fuses. Takeaway #1: Keep mods reversible.    
Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead
Comparison is only valid in cases when the same amplifier is offered in monoblock and stereo versions by the manufacturer. Of those, I can't recall a single instance of a stereo version's sound quality being preferred over the monoblocks'.

Monoblocks all the way.

I think the article raises all kinds of interesting questions about master provenance and conservation... Traditionally, wasn’t there one master tape coming out of the recording studio, from which duplicates were made and dispatched to pressing pl... 
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
if interconnect cable is so important, why aren’t the amps, preamps, and especially speakers similarly wired point to point? It’s meant not as a snark, but a straightforward question. I have never gotten not only a good answer, I have never gotte... 
Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype)
it's funny how sensitive some of you are now, but when it was constant "cables cause a fortune due to Bidenomics" it didn't bother anyone. And to answer the question, 9 out of 10 threads here have zero politics. Done, you won't hear a word from m...

Can there be a single thread on this audio-enthusiast site that does not get systematically dragged into politics? No one gives a sh t about your opinions (or mine, but I choose to keep mine to myself)
