Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill?
In Las Vegas: My power company wants to raise rates because we (their customers) have cut back our usage so much that they can't afford to pay their employees.Onemug: I attended a demo (Evanston, Ill) where Mr. Passwas presenting his Aleph amps (m...

KEF Reference 201/2 and Vintage Pioneer SX-1250???
I'm using the KEF 201 (original w/super tweeters) and an Onkyo TX-SR876 receiver in a 5.1 all KEF system.This combination actually sounds similar to music!The Audyssey room correction helps but the global negative feedback (of the Onkyo) limits th... 
Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes?
Add a subwoofer for better foundation.You are probably boosting the volume to get more bassand this is overdriving the other frequencies.This used to happen to me. 
"Best" DAC for a grand or less

"Best" DAC for a grand or less
If the Rega DAC sounds anything like the Apollo CD player, go for it...The Rega DAC also has XLR outputs! 
ARC SP-8 to SP-17?

Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch
Ssvlaunch: A Panasonic salesman told me that the power supply has been scaled back compared to the Kuro design.Think it had something to do with EU restrictions.Don't know if this makes a significant difference inpicture quality.The 58 inch plasma... 
Are the Bryston 4B SST good with the Mag 3.6
I heard the 3.7s at T.H.E. Show last week.I thought the sound was remarkably good.It may have been too much volume but I thought the upper midrange was a bit "shouty" or hard.Could have been the room.Otherwise, great sound.
