Krell 350 MCX Coupling Cap Jumpers
You shouldn't even need to use those if your preamp is working properly and you turn your system on in the proper sequence.  
Ethernet cables
@classicrockfan I have news for you, fluke tested Ethernet cables even from big name cable manufacturers and found that 80% of them didn’t pass specs even though the manufacturers claimed they did.  
Lowend amp
Damping factor has very little to do with bass output. My ksa 300s has a damping factor of 150 and has great bass. It's the size of the power supply that matters most. I doubt you will find anything with a power supply as large as those krell amps.

@bubinga  I have no idea what Audiogon does these days.​

@bubinga  It's the government, not the IRS, PayPal or audiogon they are just following the new tax laws. The tax payment was always due, if you made a profit, now there is just a paper trail for them to trace  
A listening test of two power amps
@surdo  you have to measure voltage at the outputs using test tones.  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
@phusis  It is not a myth, it has to do with the low output impedance of solid state amps.

You can't accurately level match the way you have done.  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
The amount of solid state amps that sound good with high sensitivity speakers is also limited, that's why a lot of people choose set amps with these types of speakers.  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
@daveyf  you also have to consider that tube amps with high sensitivity speakers also limit many tube systems because of noise and hiss which you can't hear as well with low sensitivity speakers. Not all tube equipment is quiet, just like not all ...

You did respond to the word though.

This stuff was always taxable if you made a profit, even a garage sale is taxable if you sell something for more than what you paid for it. It used to be the honer system, now there is evidence that's the only difference.

So they never had the resources to go after the rich, is that a joke. Rich people are far more likely to get audited than the average person. They always say they are only going after the rich,  then it trickles down to the average earner.

@84xfirez-51  Do you really believe that they are just going after the fat cats? They always say that, then they start going after the average taxpayers because it's easier and they actually collect more money in the long run.  
Amp — Leave on or turn off
Every piece of equipment I've had a failure with was on power up. I've found that most of the small electrolytic capacitors are what fail due to heat in my krell equipment the big power supply caps don't seem to fail as often.
