| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. At this point I’ve put the luxman L590axii and the LTA amps high on my list. Leben is also a consideration. I’m also considering some triode labs gear, a Pass Labs integrated (first watt too maybe) I've not heard any Krell items in over a decade ... | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today?

| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. Audiofound I’m not against Pass labs at all just not their big power amps as I just don’t need 250wpc to drive 105db sensitive speakers. Their class A offerings are very interesting to me. If not a bit over my budget new. Note I’m in Canada so pay... | |
| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. If i go SS I'll most likely go Class A so all these big power amps I'll be passing on I have no use of hundreds of watts when 2wpc is enough 30wpc is perfect. So Pass labs if i go that way will be one of their class A amps not he INT250 for exampl... | |

| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. Yes I'll be waiting until after Jan 1st before I buy to get into 2021 tax year. I'll be spreading some money I have from Veterans Affairs around to save some on tax's. The last time I tried OTL's I found them too noisy for the 105db speakers. I a... | |
| I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking? go to a pet store that has fish, they will sell clean and dry sand, small pee gravel etc. of various sizes pick the one you like. I've used the sand many times with good results. if its not sealed along the bottom run a bead of silicon around the... | |

| Used McIntosh Amp or better new options out there? - Amplifier or Integrated just a side note, I've never heard of anyone being concerned if the equipment was opened or not being an issue. Hell I've opened every piece of equipment I've ever owned to have a look at how is built (why I probably wont own AudioNote again). As ... | |

| Flat screen between speakers, again. put the flat screen on a wall bracket that you can angle up and down, when listening to music angle it up so reflections go above you. works really well in my system and very noticeable. another option is to get a comforter and make it into a cove... | |
