| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? @wolf_garcia I've had the same experience as you, the tube equipment is more reliable than the solid state equipment I've owned. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? I don't see what the big deal is, the wealthy can afford more expensive cars, houses , boats, food, and many other things. Obviously most of these super expensive pieces of audio gear are not overpriced, look at Dan D'Agostino audio, their relentl... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @falmgren you really think they used the best crossover parts that the could have for $11k? Did they use all silver wire in them? They may also use lower quality crossover parts because of availability. | |

| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Why do some tube amps have the power to drive apogee scintilla and full range speakers, the specs certainly don't tell you this would work. | |
| Tube tester? If you are not really experienced with tubes, a tube testers can be a good thing and a bad thing, sure you can weed out shorted tubes that aren’t any good, but you may also be throwing out tubes that are gassy and are not bad. My advice would be t... | |
| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? @ozzy I have to agree with you about Paragon audio, they will let you listen to any system they have even if you say you are not buying anything today. | |
| 12 AWG Mains Power Cable From Wall To Power Conditioner Sufficient? How much power is the subwoofer rated at? | |
