Resale value
I buy from smaller companies with great sound. Never a problem selling. Many of these smaller companies make better sounding gear than the big boys that resell faster. Smaller the better:) Again, I have never had an issue selling great sounding ge...

You guys are right! Please do not forget the Lyngdorf 2170 which is just amazing and class D. It is a dac, int amp, and room correction all in one. The room correction is SOTA and what makes it one of the best options out there. Neal at Sound Scie...

Volley, direct connection to the woofer is another great example of my general notion. Huge improvement. It does not matter how expensive the connector is, getting rid of it is so much better. Same for fuses, but many cannot stomach that:) I use o...

Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7
Well Atma is spot on as usual.  It depends on design. The tube preamp I have owned for years, TRL, ran barely warm and was a better climate for the parts inside.  The designer always told me to keep it on unless traveling for days etc...This actua...

Thanks for the tip!
