| Have you heard of EMOTIVA? I have an Emotiva UPA-7 power amp for HT and it suits my needs. For 2 channel enjoyment I did really like the Emotiva USP-1 preamp. A very solid performer with all around. Might be worth the price on the phono section alone. A'gon member Ferrari d... | |
| Want to replace digital monoblocks VG stereo amp Damn Jim. I feel for you still on this quest after all this time with little gains. Have you been able to get in touch with any local dealers where you are in Honolulu? I believe Underwood Wally is by you. Also there is Stewart Ono (unclestu) who ... | |
| Fans of Blue Jeans Speaker Cable? I use Belden based BJC 10 White speaker cables for my HT set-up and I have no issues with them at all. I like the detail and clarity I get. I haven't had any issues with the midrange like stated above but then this is for a movie set-up. | |

| Bookshelf speaker ideas.... Kotta is right on the money with quality stands for monitors. It should not be overlooked. I didn't believe that until I got quality monitor stands from Standesign that were sand fillable. Night and day difference between the the dinky little stan... | |

| Your worst gaffes One of my worst and most expensive gaffes is late one night I was trying do an A/B listening comparison between 2 amps and in the midst of setting stuff up and going between gear I had forgotten that both amps were hooked up to the same speakers. ... | |

| McCormack DNA-1 Rev A question When I owned a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe or standard I used the top screw type binding posts when I had spade terminated speaker cables. The Zu Audio WAX spades were a little larger than the norm and when I used the top screw posts on the DNA-1 they ... | |

| If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp? To me it depends on the size of your room and the music. In my uncle's rectangular listening room which is quite large (sorry I don't remember the dimensions) he paired a pair of Threshold monoblocks with an tube Audio Research preamp. Heavenly so... | |
