NEED ADVISE ON AN AMPLIFIER TRANSACTION
Whew! I sold an amp to this guy. I must say that I was very concerned at first and maybe I was lucky. The only way I felt comfortable was the fact that it was shipped to Miami. I told him I have no control over what happens after it arrives and he...

Furman's claim to fame is their application to commercial or professional sound applications. They maintain nearly all of the market in professional sound reinforcement systems. Using the "guilt by association" model, one could draw the conclusion... 
Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock?
Gotta give another thumbs up to Legacy Audio Focus 20/20's. There was a comment about driving them with SS not measuring up to tubes. Can't comment on the tubes but my Plinius SA-103 sounds awesome through them!

Volume Increase of decrease as system improves
I think listening volume for me is dependent on a couple of different factors. The piece of music, my mood and what I am doing at the time all seem to have an impact on volume level. I also seem to notice a direct correlation between alcohol consu...

On board or outboard DAC?
Thanks for your comments Theo. I use an Oppo 103D for video and have tried it for 2-channel music as well. I always go back to the Ayre myself. That's why I thought I would seek responses prior to hunting up a cable. I really enjoy each piece of g... 
On board or outboard DAC?
gdnrbob,I appreciate the response. The more I dig into this the more I feel that I may be best off to leave well enough alone. We always look for that one more tweak to make our systems better. I think I'll just stick with what I have.
