Questions about Lyngdorf
I use a calibrated microphone and place it at my listening position with an old school Audio Control Industrial SA3050 RTA Real Time 3rd Octave Spectrum Analyzer and run pink noise from the source. I set the all the frequencies so that they are fl... 
Parasound JCM 250
What's the point of it being stable below 1 ohm if an amp has the headroom?  I don't think that I've ever owned a speaker that dipped below 3.7.  
Need an amp upgrade suggestion..... But not the usual upgrade request :-)
You are going to get a lot of suggestions and opinions on what class, brand, etc. you should go with. You can buy these for as much as 30% off the retail price with a trade in. I have a pair of these in one of my audio rooms and would not even con... 
Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it?
  mahgister: I’ve read some of your posts and see that you like to improve speakers. I just wanted to mention a couple of things that also make a big difference and are not very costly, just in case you haven’t already done so. By the way, I bega...

My first suspicion would be an output relay or dirty pod/s but it could be any faulty component.  Unless you can fix it yourself it's really not worth repairing it. Paying someone would cost more than what those are selling for. $100-$200.  
Rediscovery
I went back and forth from vinyl to CD and back to vinyl several times until I gave up on vinyl altogether, but still have my records and analog gear for a rainy day. As far as streaming and going back to CD, I have not gone back to CD since I dis... 
How can I solve my preamp/DAC/subwoofer issue without spending lots of money?
Just get one of these (or similar) and put it between you receiver and amp.  It will increase the output voltage of your preamp.  May not be the "highest fi" option and I am sure there are many other out there with various specs, but I just wanted... 
McIntosh MC611 (terminal 2, 4, or 8 ohms)to B&W 800d3's
Those speakers are 8 ohms, so connect them to the 8-ohm terminals.  
Female vocals
roadcykler: I know what you mean. I grew up with heavy metal in the 80’s but evolved into many other genres over time, although heavy metal still hits me in the "soul"! I still go to as many metal concerts as I can. The reason that they play femal... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
deep_333: May I ask why not deal with a US based manufacturer that will sell directly to you, or are you so fond of TAD?    
Random question
Are you trying to find similar songs/ genres that may be to your liking or just asking if others know the song?    
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
I like PS Audio.  They are fair, have great products, SELL EXCLUSIVELY DIRECT, have no questions asked in home trials, take trade ins and have outstanding customer service.  I have six separate audio systems in 6 different rooms.  My main and my f... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
I think that there are many reasons as your answer such as Jealousy, ignorance and knowledge and experience. Many with the knowledge and experience know better and can quickly spot when something is overpriced, and they let it be known. As with an... 
Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ?
I bought a pair of the Andrew Jones designed speakers (ELAC Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52 Bookshelf Speakers) for an extra room while they were on sale for $419.98 recently and must say that this guy really knows what he's doing.  No speaker has impressed me th... 
Static, left channel from B&K EX-4420
I looked at the schematic. Looks like the relay you need is twT9as 24VDC. Your amp takes two since they are single pole relays. One for the left and one for the right channel. I would replace both while you are at it, since they are electromechan...
