Kudos to Dave at Audio Doctor!
After first discovering this morning that the price of my liquid handwashing soap has gone up 100% in the month since my last purchase, I have now just read this wonderful accolade for Dave Lalin.  I have to say that it is a real pleasure to hear ... 
Review: EXACTPOWER EP15A Tweak
For several years, the display on my EP-15A has been flashing between 120 volts RMS and "under voltage".  Nonetheless, it remains putting out 117 volts and is unfailingly quiet.  Am I just lucky?  
HDMI absence
jriggy, you bring up an interesting point, namely, is the data flow superior among the various means it can travel from A to B -- HDMI, I2S, coaxial, AES/EBU, or TOSLink? 
Amp and Processor
For the past 15 years, I have been using a Theta Casablanca preamp/processor that I've continually upgraded (now as an IV version) for both watching movies and listening to music.  I, and my audiophile friends, find its performance in my AV system... 
Krell iBias Amp Dependability: An Informal Survey
Dear 643,Given that I am considering the purchase of a Krell Trio 300 XD amplifier, I am most interested in hearing how your problem was resolved.Thank you!Best regards,Jonathan 
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
Recently, I faced the same dilemma.  I have a very good system. However, it is in my nature to always seek "better", even though by now I have taken mine beyond what most people on this forum have proposed as modest to major potential improvements... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
I am currently using a Theta Casablanca IV preamp/processor and a Lumin T2 along with Krell Class A power amps and Revel Ultima Studios.  Cabling is Wireworld and Kimber for interconnects and Transparent Audio for speakers.  Power conditioning is ... 
Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank
I believe price has to be considered in terms of value received for money spent. In that context, I recommend the Venom series of Shunyata’s cables and cords.  While not inexpensive, they aren’t “bank breakers”, either.  I have yet to be less than...

What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
Before moving on to the best, let me add my two cents about the worst.  Without a doubt, for me nothing comes close to the original Tice power conditioner (don't recall very well anymore, but it was some sort of frozen clock radio -- possibly).  I... 
Active Subwoofer Recommendations
I use two subs — left and right — powered 8”   Velodynes. The bass is utterly awesome. It is almost as if the room shakes. 😁 
Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far
I found two rooms at AXPONA 2019 to be my personal standouts this year.  The first demo'd Rockport Cygnus speakers driven by all CH Precision electronics and an Auralic Aries streamer; "Life" by Ludovico Einaudi was played.  This recording was my ... 
Best HT speaker system
I can only speak from experience, having had systems that were first B&W, next Dunlavy and now Revel Ultima. My current system consists of the Revel Studios (as the main left-right speakers), the Voice (as the center speaker), the Embraces (fo... 
Revel Salon/Studio Owners What setup do you use?
Besides my Studios, I also have the Voice w/ aluminum pedestal, two Embraces, and two B-15s. Driving them are a Krell 200C and a Krell KAV-250a/3. My source components include the Proceed PAV/PDSD combo preamp/decoder (which is old, and I am waiti... 
What amps do you use with your Revel Salons/Studio
I use a Krell 200C and am most pleased. Perhaps another amp might prove superior, but I and my friends find its sound remarkable.
