Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp?
Make sure all your gears plugged into one circuit. Get a filter for your tv cable cord, try disconnecting Cable to see if that does anything.   Don’t sit so close to the speaker. Buy a puppy. Make a chocolate milkshake. I definitely think you'r... 
Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
I like a thick solid piece of oak with recessed casters mounted on the bottom and you can move them around and they look fabulous.    
Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new
An integrated is confining. Unless you have space issues I would branch out with a few separates. McIntosh is known for amplifiers. So much better things out there worthy of exploration Although they do offer tone controls which is nice. Tone con... 
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
@audiotroy  Above for your info. It's interesting good stuff  
It was the output tubes all along...
Isn't it really tough for tubes to get along with bass drivers? Isn't that the real challenge herein?    
Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes?
Why are JJ tubes a problem? Is the manufacturing process really subpar? Does anyone really know anything about JJ manufacturing  
When I listen to my system.......
Most of the modern age speakers tend to be more clinical and revealing with all kinds of detail and somehow people really like this, at least in the show room it’s impressive. But then when they take it back home and say wow this is very fatiguin... 
Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955
Really super bad idea to use a Power strip when you don’t have grounding. That’s a lot of competing forces going on and you could easily screw up. Run a few grounding wires in key areas. Peace of mind. You’ll never get a clear answer on this one... 
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
nad processor I’ve had experience with has an interface that’s very easy to follow and not glitchy. Although still most interfaces have their quirky qualities because the people developing them have no insight into what mere humans experience when...

@audiotroy   abn nvidea streamer? Can you please post the link having trouble finding it. I use an Apple TV 4K which is fine but wonder if there's anything better out there.     heos from Marantz I agree is absolutely horrifying and I guess the... 
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
Marantz processors are incredibly complicated and the independent channel capability is very limited.  The interface is also quite disappointing. I have owned a Marantz processor and it's sitting on a shelf collecting dust. I think the sound was p...

@audiotroy  Do you stream or are you playing Blu-ray? What is your source? thanks  
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
@audiotroy I sort of sense the same thing these models were comparable and the nad probably scores more highly because it’s easier to use. Marantz processors are horrifying complicated. If you have more than seven channels, a maestro or trinov... 
Mcintosh mc451 mono - anybody use this new dual amplifier?
@steve59 I own a 611 pair and the need for dedicated outlet is not true. The actual power of these amps use is less than 100 W. A shared 15 amp circuit would work as long as it's not too crowded. Your hairdryer uses a lot more than this amplifier  
Speaker wire impedance? Speaker impedance?
Nobody understands this stuff, except for that guy sitting in the corner that nobody's talking to. Can you imagine if cookbooks started using the word impedance in their recipes. If you don’t understand what someone writes herein, its because th...
