Pl advise on Amp for listening to AOR on Klipsch RF7 Mk II via a custom built R2R NOS DAC
I actually have a Black Ice Audio Fusion 22 for sale over on U.S. Audio Mart which would be fun to try with these speakers. That's how I ran across the GR Research video. It is not my desire to try to push equipment in the forum but the Klipsch we...

@mr1398113  The Paradigm Signature S8's are wonderful! I nearly bought a pair. They are 92db and +-2db@39hz but play down to 24hz. They could be a bit bright depending on the electronics and your room but with good electronics they're really nice.

I don't want to criticize your speaker choice but have you seen this video?

Actually in the radio biz, it was called Album Oriented Rock because one track could be 23 minutes such as Pink Floyd Echoes.  
How many turntables have you owned?
One. It was a Beogram 1700 with the low mass tonearm. It made me hate turntables. God bless the CD! 😁

Mine was flawless as well until last night. My system is dead quiet with this unit.

I’m sure that’s it. I really like this unit so I’m hoping I can find the switch. If anyone has any details on the proper switch, that would help. I have not heard back from Chris.

So mine is wrapped in a gray protective material. I can just make out the following: MF1-B-34-620-1. The switch doesn't look bad, no burning etc. I am in contact with Chris Hoff via another forum. Maybe he can help me out.

Wow, I appreciate the advice. It is the main power switch that is “blowing”.

@jjss49, Couldn't agree more. that's why I was so taken aback by the dealer I spoke to. He sells the brand I wanted but said he wouldn't sell it to me? It's all junk he said. Well, maybe in his mind I suppose but that's no way to talk me into a $...

Well, I have pulled the trigger. I picked up a Black Ice Audio Jolida integrated that was modified by Jerrod at Black Ice. The upgrades include high grade single crystal wiring in inputs and output and Vishay Naked Z resistors through out the audi... 
Impedance Matching Confusion
Why not just purchase a pair of bi-wire speaker cables? I use Morrow Audio bi-wire cables. They have one pair of connectors at the amp and a dual pair of connectors for the binding posts on the speaker. Simple!  
Don’t want to freak you out…
I think these mechanical solutions are a bit archaic. I would suggest AI implants that are complete with tone and a loudness controls.
