Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
With a correctly designed power conditioner like a transformer based unit, which actually takes you off the grid, you are much better off plugging your amplifiers into the power conditioner.. This type of power conditioner does not limit dynamics ... 
Help settle a streaming argument!
@Kennyc That is interesting because the original question was about separate streamer/DAC’s.  Congratulations on having an integrated solution.  
Speaker Cable Recommendation
@ghdprentice  👍 right again  
Benchmark or McIntosh....
@ghdprentice 👍 those were my thoughts exactly when I read the title of the post.  
Help settle a streaming argument!
Being a dealer, we are fortunate to be able to test many servers, and DACs.  It is a very good, basic question that always comes up with customers. The short answer is everything matters, but the DAC is more important to sound quality than the ser... 
Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices.
We at eastendhifi I have KR Audio tubes in stock. We carry the KT88’s, the 300B tubes, as well as a 300 BXLS from KR Audio.  Yes, they are certainly not inexpensive, but they will sound better than anything out there, other than maybe Western elec... 
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
 @three_easy_paymentsThanks for the support. I hear most of the users here complaining rightfully so about degradation in dynamics when plugged into a power conditioner. That absolutely does not happen with isolation transformers. 
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
We obviously are dealers, so you can take what I say with a grain of salt…but isolation transformer based power conditioners just plain work!  Take out of the equation, the fact that they might improve the sound of your system and let’s just look ...

One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
Tim DiParavicini has been making some very fine products for both the studio and home for a very long time as @lukaske mentioned. EAR/Yoshino doesn’t get the respect of some American tube brands due to lack of marketing, but he makes some of the b... 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
Both aesthetics and sound are a personal choice for anyone buying a pair of speakers.  That being said, the Lawrence Audio line of speakers not only looks very different and aesthetically pleasing but they are extremely neutral sounding with tight...

RMAF 2014 Observations
Dev & Philb7777...I'm glad you enjoyed the Nola room. They always are awarded "Best of Show" by a few of the journals. Being a dealer I am biased, but Nolas sound more like live music than most anything else out there (confirmed by customers a...
