| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used The demographic has obviously changed on AudiGon. Back in the day the forums were dominated by hard core Audiophiles who did anything for positive changes in their audio systems. There use to be healthy debates regarding opinions and theories.... | |
| NAD 1600 Receiver If I remember correctly, the 7160 was the receiver version of my amp @trelja , Joe, I believe the NAD 7600 was the receiver version of the 2600 power amp:http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/nad-7600-133.htmlThe NAD 1600 is a preamp/tuner, not a re... | |

| Should I eliminate my preamp? @audioconnection , +1.However, since the OP has all the tools to do the test for himself, he is best to answer his own question.He can simply listen to his system with, and without his ARC SP6 b and decide for himself.Trust your ears. | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used Would someone please enlighten me here. Sorry, you have to put in your own work here. How does a three ft section of metal help in providing better sound quality? I can't answer that, as all of my power cords are 1.5 meters or longer. ;^) | |

| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used I don't think they are illiterate. Instead, they are somewhat like fundamentalist religious proselytizers except here, they see themselves as the actual Savior. Not to mention very sensitive. I suppose my post upset one of our "Saviors", as th... | |

| What's your investment threshold? I think most of us here have a governor on our wallets, bur we also probably prioritize differently. It seems as if owning the "top of the line" product is a high priority for you. None of my components are "top of the line", but I do own a couple... | |
| What's your investment threshold? Do you impose on yourself a percentage range for cable spending relative to other components? No. I don't crunch numbers, I listen to music.That doesn't mean that there aren't cables that I can't afford, but I don't look at any system percentag... |
