Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider this a place holder for future discussion on this topic. 
Esoteric A100 Service Nightmare
This all sounds just plain wrong.  At first I assumed that your unit was a CD player, but realize its an integrated.I would find out exactly what tool is needed and verify with Esoteric that no other domestic Esoteric repair location has it.  Hell... 
High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it.
I am not certain this is the same thing, but the Meitner PA6i preamp I had years ago had an absolute phase inversion button on the remote. I could not tell any difference whether the button was selected or not.http://www.museatex.com/pa6i.htm 
Difference in sound between day and night. Help!
I suggest you perform a double blind listening test between day and night.  You will need to be locked in a totally dark room for several days and nights.

fleschler, I look forward to the future and seeing your place on "Hoarders" or "Buried Alive" or perhaps your 1,000's of albums being purchased on "Storage Wars".

"But how do you know whether your system is in correct Absolute Polarity? "I've have also been reading material concerning absolute versus inverted polarity.  According to the author, polarity is most easily determined by utilizing either a "Pola... 
Best multi-purpose subwoofer
I have a couple of 12" woofer SVS subs and like them.  I think an important consideration is whether you want a ported or sealed box design.  I have the sealed box, and truth be told I bought them because I read this is what was the best for 2 cha... 
Speaker hum
Is your set up attached to a cable box, i.e., you play your tv through it occasionally?  This is a commo source of hum, which I have experienced.  Needed to simply purchase a Jensen VRD-1FF IsoMax Digital RF Isolator which handily took care of the... 
Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3?
Thanks cal, thinking about calling Reno.gweedoargus, now that you have had your XA25 for a couple of weeks and you are a little more familiar with it could you provide a little more in depth review of how you are liking it?  Its tonality, soundsta... 
Recommendation on power amp
Deleted my post.  I'll just leave it that I consider Audio Doctor posts informative and from my point of view welcome. 
Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3?
Thanks Al, I am kind of conflicted for the first time in a while. I always wanted a high powered amp and am on the fence between the Parasound A21+ power and the Pass XA25 sound quality. I can score a fairly good deal on both, and now am fairly te... 
Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier
For speakers that either the Coda or Pass xa25 would both drive without problem, would anyone recommend one amp over the other based purely on sound quality? 
Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3?
Anyone? 
Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3?
From all the commercial and user reviews it would appear to me that the XA25 is the best sounding SS amplifier for all except the most inefficient speakers.  Is this how most others see this. 
Opinions on Parasound A21 & A21+
batman, unfortunately my speaker brand is not one that you can say the name and people will recognize.  They are called Avance speakers, a Danish brand that is sold by dealers in 10 or 11 countries but not the U.S.  I picked up mine a while ago fr...
