| Auditioning headphones (ethically)? There is enough info online,especially from sites like head-fi.org to narrow choices down to a pecking order.Since most online dealers/stores carry pretty much all the major players start with your #1 choice & live with them a couple weeks at ... | |

| **The Official/UnOfficial Audiogon Head-Fi System Thread** Still have the HiFiMan Sundara,which IMO is an absolute benchmark for neutrality under $1000.00 & an unmitigated bargain at the $350.00 asking price..

| Thoughts? 26' rectangular room -- 2 channel on one short wall, 5.1 on the other Waste of $..Why split the budget between 2 systems..IMO go all in on a 2 channel system that will give you 90%+ of the surround stuff & slay on music videos & other formats.. | |
| Class A Power in A/B amplifiers? Some interesting insight.@gs5556"There really is no such class as Class AB, it is used to describe the mode of operation when a Class A amp hits a low impedance and one of the pairs of output transistors stops conducting"..Would this mean that by... |
