Blue node 2i vs other devices
When the replacement for the 2i comes out, unless there is a substantial increase in price, the resale on the current 2i will nosedive.  True they do not cost that much to start with.  I have a 2i. 
Blue node 2i vs other devices
I have the 2i and it has been around for awhile.  One might guess a new updated model may be coming out.  Just a guess. 
High Frequency Oscillation hurt resistors in Magico A5 crossovers
The trite explanation you received sounds like it was from a low tier employee.  You should request that an explanation be provided by someone in a position of responsibility who can explain or at least try to explain what has caused their product... 
Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k?
@sfar It would be helpful to know the specs as far as sensitivity of the speakers you were driving with the Raven? 
Spades vs Bananas vs Bare Wire Treated with Caig Deox
About the problem of breaking wires or stray wires shorting, a little dab of solder on the bare wire ends will normally take care of that.I have never used them, but there are connectors I have seen that you feed your bare wire through and then tu... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk
Thanks avanti1960 for providing that explanation. Out of coincidence I am considering purchasing a pair of LS50 metas for a bedroom system. I have never heard a Ravens integrated, but have to say that to the questionable extent you can judge an am... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk
@ avanti1960Do you mind sharing why you sold your nighthawk and blackhawk? 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
@lalitk  Ever since I traded my 92db efficiency speakers for 96db efficiency speakers, I have been living on easy street. And your speakers are on the larger side perhaps partly as a result of the increased efficiency and larger driver?  And I ... 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
@ clearthinkerAn excellent first post. As you can see by Duke’s response above you are correct, there are other factors that are impacted by and to be considered when evaluating a speaker’s efficiency.MC’s response to your thread is somewhat puzzl... 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
I agree that speaker manufacturers don't, but should, publish their impedance graphs.However, I also believe that there are a plethora of amplifiers that can power most, except for the ridiculously low impedance speakers, and they sell for reasona... 
Uneven soundstage help, please.
I may be mistaken, but my understanding is if your integrated has a tape in and tape out the equalizer may be (and is ideally) hooked in there.  Someone jump in if that is not correct.The Schitt Loki at $150 receives glowing accolades on this site... 
All New ROTEL MICHI GEAR // State-Of-The-Art
Resale value is also important to many of us. That’s why we buy on A’gon when possible.But the sound warrior schtick is always a good sell. 
Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2
jetset, if your tweeters did burn out 10 years ago as you suspect that’s how long they have not worked, I would doubt they would have any burnt smell at this point if they did then. 
A/B-ing speakers of different impedances.
Only speaking for myself, but I have found that the difference between the various amp taps to be less than I would have expected. 
Mistakes I’ve made
I loaned kenjit a pair of speakers and when he gave them back he had drilled holes in the back to tune them to his liking.  Something about the back waves now being able to escape versus bouncing forward and commingling with the forward firing wav...
