Spade lug connector to Marantz amp
The Marantz manual says speaker cables with spades can be connected to the amplifier including a diagram that shows how. I checked the Marantz N30 amp at Best Buy and confirmed that spade lugs work. The speaker connection supports banana plugs, ba...

NCore Vs. Purifi
Both my Hypex NCore NC400 Dual Mono Class D Power Amplifiers and my Mola-Mola Kaluga Class D Mono Power Amplifiers (NC1200) were very disappointing.  Neither amp sounded very musical nor very engaging.   I eventually purchased the Ayre AX-5 Twent...
