300b lovers
@charles1dad  when Thomas Mayer first started building tube amps for his personal use, he built them for 3 phase power. He also loves vinyl, even though his regular job was digital electronics.  
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@asctim  the cable that goes from left to right channel in the Polk sda is out of phase and does work really well. I've had Polk sda2a speakers for over 30 years and with upgraded crossovers and tweeters they do some things better than My apogee d...

Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
@phusis what about passive line level crossovers?  
Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
@katman apogee offered many models with active biamp capabilities.  
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
@mapman  you don't think many audiophiles don't take out the fuses and reseat  them on occasion?  I'm sure some have even put their old fuses back in to compare.   
Dynamic Range - the golden key to music nirvana?
@bjorn154  those two specs don't mean much, I bet the Levinson amp has better dynamics than a lot of equipment that measures better.  
Re-wiring the listening room: Questions
@britamerican I have 6 dedicated 20A circuits with 10awg wire, I'm only using 4 dedicated circuits at present, but there are no ground loops, and none of my equipment is using balanced connections.
