Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer?
If you like the sound of that amp/dac then don't worry about better just enjoy. Also that to me is one of the downsides of the amp/dac combo you're basically stuck with that Dac or you paid for it but you're not using it.  
What Neutral Means in Reviews & Our Discussions? Are We Confusing Tame/Flat For Neutral?
This is just me but I find neutral to be boring. Give me some warmth and more tonal color.  
Which ones should I choose? Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4
@avanti1960 Tony a lot of us old fuddy duddies love the old school look of Tannoy just fine or love it actually. 😎And not to cast aspersions on B&W but a robot mated with a waste basket does come to mind. 🤣 All kidding aside two great speaker ... 
what kind of power conditioner for front end?
@jayctoy thank you for turning me on to Wisdom!  
what kind of power conditioner for front end?
I had to reconfigure my system a few months back and didn't have room for my big Exactpower conditioner/voltage regulator. I picked up this power distributor from Wisdom Cable Technology and it sounds excellent I don't miss the conditioning at all... 
Franco Serbin Accordos after one month.....
Congrats they sound like awesome speakers musicality is the best trait of really good speakers in my opinion.

Tannoy in a landslide not even close.  
Audible Illusions M3A preamp just stopped outputting any signal
A total lack of output without anything seeming wrong is almost always user error, I say that from past experience!  
Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please.
Ah I see what you did apologies Larry and carry on and good luck getting your amp repaired!  
Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please.
Larry if the speaker cable on your left channel had a short and was creating noise and you then moved that cable to the right channel it would make noise there also right? When you swap cables like that you're not bypassing them you need to swap i... 
Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please.
Larry if you swapped speaker cables you in fact did not rule them out as they are downstream of the amp and thus could still be a source of noise. I'm sorry to belabor that point but how much easier would new speaker cables be vs an amp repair? A... 
Why does rock concert sound suck?
@mtbiker29 Thanks for posting that a friend and I were just talking the other night about the Sphere Center about to open in Vegas and whether Phish would play there vs the MGM.
