Which integrated amp would you pick?
MF6 is discontinued. There is an M6si, which I’ve owned (purchased new) since December 2015. I highly recommend it. At the time and point of purchase I compared it to Krell Vanguard and McIntosh MA6700, both considerably more expensive. Realistica... 
JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo
atmasphere, I consider your reference to a quote of mine a complement of sorts. Honestly. This because I have noted how well you articulate virtually all things audio in the numerous thread in which you post. I read the other day what you had to s...

Advice on a Used speaker, Budget $4500

A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true?

Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
joecasey is correct in his assessment and very much on point with loosing potential customers. That lost revenue could drive a next and even better generation of cables and/or improve manufacturing of the existing line so as to drive the cost down... 
What is DC offset on the AC power line?
wolf_garcia, thanks for that post. Obviously use of that kind of filter can "work" (have the intended effect of reducing hum). Actually, they describe rather well what I was looking to understand.http://www.psaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/H... 
What is DC offset on the AC power line?
