| HT Bypass on preamp My Musical Fidelity A5 Int Amp also has HT Direct that completely bypasses the preamp section and applies the inputs from my AVR preouts directly to the amplification section.There is one benefit to this type of 'true' bypass as opposed to simple ... | |

| Which is Better? Musical Fidelty A5 (used) or new Rogue Sphinx? That’s what makes this hobby so difficult -everyone's 'end result' experience is different.There isn’t one review of the A5 that describes it as forward or aggressive, nor has it been my experience.The advantage of either as a used buy will be the... | |
| Which is Better? Musical Fidelty A5 (used) or new Rogue Sphinx? My 2cents worth.I have the A5 Int, and run B&W CDM1NT bookies.A good pairing; the B&W's respond well to the grip and grunt of the A5.I too like scare the neighbors from time to time - the A5 has the power to keep it clean.Let the B&W h... | |

| 2 channel amp sound VS. HT amp sound Just my deflated 2cents worth, but I also got 'back in the game' about 2009 and started with an Audio Video Receiver (which you are calling an HT 'amp').And you'll need an AVR if you want a simplified/consolidated system interconnection with HDMI ... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. As a former engineer, I worked on my share of proposals writing both tech sections and working on the cost bidding.The price for a 'thing' needs to include the time to pay for the design, prototyping, testing, quality assurance, documentation- all... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP @chakster I was referring to the SL1200mkII - which I have.I’ve not tried any other alignment other than that using the overhang tool as I’ve read elsewhere that the mkII is designed/aligned for Stevenson, and any other alignment requires a non-OE... | |
