Reasonable but not outragious interconnects
I think that sfar has inadvertently somewhat muddied the waters in this low cost interconnect discussion. You can buy any of the cables already assembled. This would be my recommendation: https://www.markertek.com/product/msc3rr/mogami-neglex-quad... 
Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9
An honest question from someone who has never owned a speaker with a ribbon tweeter, but has never had a problem with soft dome tweeter. Is there a concern that a ribbon tweeter is so fragile that one should consider purchasing the D48 with the so... 
Reasonable but not outragious interconnects
I have both canare and mogami interconnects (and cardas and others)..I recommend that for about $45 a pair that you purchase interconnects made with mogami W2534 neglex quad microphone cable from Markertek. They will build them to your specificati... 
new equipment power conditioner or more powerful amp?
I have a nice system also, but don't have dedicated lines, power conditioning, receptacles or room treatments (although I think my power and room are ok).  I don't have a particular area I can look at (listen to) and say it definitely needs improv... 
Marantz PM10 class D amp

ricevs, there are a number of us that would like to thank you for taking your time to write out the same message that has already been repeated 1,000 times.  The retention skills of posters who feel the need to stammer out the same message obsessi... 
Hate to do this again. Start over. Class d
bsimpson…."Class A/B: $5000 (there just isn’t that many great A/Bs out there in my experience, sorry)"No need to be sorry, all you did was to mention there aren't that many great amps out there in what is likely the most popular classification  of... 
Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition
mzkmxcv, …."Even 25W is good enough for most setups (if you’re speakers are 84dB sensitive and you sit 20ft away, that’s a different story)."This has not been my experience, my speakers are rated at 89db, 6 ohm nominal, although I suspect they are... 
Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :)

good deal and free to boot (pun intended)!!! 
Audio Research Ref 3 set display off/on.
Sorry, I will mention the obvious answer which is of course to give ARC a call.  But it does make sense that the display would default to being on after each power up.I would assume most people would normally want to defeat the lights when listeni...

Thank you erik and astelmaszek for taking the time to explain your experiences with your amplifiers.  I had originally thought that each amplifier would have had much more of a sonic difference from each other than you have experienced. But I have... 
Going linear - The Luxman 507ux
Hi erik, I haven't heard a luxman product since listening to a luxman receiver so long ago I won't mention when.  Even now I remember the great build quality.I am a little surprised that you don't seem as enthusiastic about your new integrated as ... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
I am wondering why all speakers are not high efficiency?  Why make medium or low efficiency speakers at all, what are their advantages? 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Hi kosst, I think that opens up a whole can of worms of whether a low or high efficiency speaker inherently sounds the best? One would think that if all high efficiency speakers sound better than their low efficiency counterparts there would be no...
