| Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000? One says Bryston is mellow, it's accurate. Some amps are bright to give the appearance of better high frequency response, listen closely. | |
| does any r2r ladder dac have standby power mode? I can't speak for all R2R dacs, but most do have standby. | |

| Carver and Tube Life Absolutely no way tubes in an amplifier will last 50 years, all marketing. | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. LM6172 op-amps. | |
| Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers? I have not been impressed with any Paradigms I've heard. | |
| Speaker magnets Tekton does not use Alnico magnets in any of their speakers. | |
