| Phono stage recommendations I just got the Ayre p5 xe about a week ago and it really works incredibly well layers of dynamics and very musical. You can find them used for about half price. Have not heard the Parasound. | |

| Pass Labs cooling noise I have called Pass about the noise on my amp and they said it is normal while warming up or cooling down to hear the clinking just the heat sinks contracting and expanding | |

Emphasis was placed in looks and theatrics and sexualityinstead of quality music. The Beatles lps were looked forward to and all the songs were devoured because they meant somethi... | |
| picking speakers (and electronics) for a relatively large room - new As someone above mentioned I would definitely be looking at Magnepan 3.7i ( or the 20.7 if budget permits)with a couple of good subs. You could power them with a Pass 250.8 and a good pre or a Pass integrated and have great sound. I know it would ... |
