Comparable quality integrated Amplifier.
The NAD digital integrateds are underrated IMHO.  
Why did Parasound discontinue the Halo JC-1 monoblock amplifiers?
They likely made a decision to drop the item from their lineup because nor people are likely to buy the lower cost amps. Yep, people’s buying habits change, not to mention the availability of parts. That is, transistors, transformers, even passive... 
Benchmark DAC1 still relevant?
I'll tell you how you can tell.Can you hear a marked difference between Redbook (44.1 kHz/16) and high resolution music? If not, keep it. If Hi rez sounds significantly better, it's time to upgrade. :) I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but ove...

I’ve had exactly these problems, with Furutech. I’m sorry, Furutech kind of sucks in general for bananas. I’ve also found them super easy to deform. WBT’s bananas are slightly tighter fitting, and if you can avoid Rhodium you’ll have a better conn...

adding surround backs, quick question
All speaker cable is class 2. :) Hook up the 6006 and the surround speakers like it's own stereo system, not like it's a HT system.So, use an RCA pair for inputs, like Aux, and the main L and R speaker outputs.
