How can i hook up my dash speakers with my current amp?
Cap down (crossover) the dash speakers to make them more of a high/mid and connect parallel with your door speakers. They become essentially a two way speaker at that point. Assuming your door speakers are not already two way. If just a mid driver... 
Anyone listen to Ypsilon Auto gear out there?
A friend of mine has a full Ypsilon system. Fabulous. 
SME tonearm rewire - holy cow
Al is a crazy dude (in a good way) and does excellent work. I just got my V back from him a few days ago. Full rebuild plus rewire. Excellent. 
H390 or seperate amp and dac?
H390 is great. As is the DAC. Should you need to “upgrade” to an outboard DAC, the on board unit can be bypassed.

Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
Just be sure to charge them with a dedicated 20 amp circuit! Ha! Glad you were able to improve your situation. A good friend is mostly deaf in one ear and doesn’t really have any viable options. When he’s working on his setup he uses my ears to he... 
Best amp for B&W805D3?
A friend is running a Musical Fidelity M6si Integrated to great effect with the B&W’s. Her system sounds very nice. Don’t touch the tweeters... 
Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?
I’ve used both Agon and USaudiomart. But very good, no issues. USaudio is free. That’s a plus. Though overall, Agon fees aren’t terrible. 
“Classic” phono stages 2007-20013?
Overall the time span probably isn’t that tight. Perhaps the better way to phrase the question would have been “older phono stages”. My analog gear is from that era, and it might be cool to find a top notch piece from that time... see how it match... 
“Classic” phono stages 2007-20013?
Yeah, but certainly there are some standouts of that time? 
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
Interesting discussion. Reality, Sonos has the connectivity and interface nailed. I’ve been using Sonos products for quite some time. Recently, I think the software has become clunky. To some degree, I think Sonos is trying too hard. But, in the e... 
HOW DO YOU CLEAN YOUR CABLE JACKETS?
Run them through a damp, not wet, clean cloth. Cleans them right up.  
Audiophile AC Outlets
I’ve got PS Audio power ports. Excellent, easy upgrade. Led to me to change out all of my receptacles with higher grade units. Hospital grade for anything that draws real power... refrigerator etc. 
What’s your top 5 Christmas albums ?
Vince G... none better. Plenty other decent ones, but a Charlie Brown Christmas IS Christmas. Just received a new copy on vinyl.  
Need really simple advice. How do I use the DAC side of my ARC Ref CD-9SE to stream music?
My problem with using the DAC in my 9 is the tubes. On one hand, it’s tubes... but on the other, it’s tubes, which = HOT. The 9 is a little space heater already. And I’m not fond of it all cranked up using the DAC. The DAC is good, but you need so...
