@lordrootman It seems he did "pass" a test in the first post.He neglected to check with you first if it would be acceptable to your standards:-)

Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison
I recommend the Jays transport. The Pro-ject I would be leery of at the present time simply because of the quality control issues happening now,not because of sound quality. I bought a Jays several months ago and it was a much bigger upgrade than ... 
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?

how many ways to hook up a subwoofer
@chiefsteward1 you can run wire from your amp to the speakers and then from the speakers to the sub.The sub first then on to the speakers will work too.I use a y connector from the pre so I can make use of the built-in equalizer in the sub.There a... 
Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
I'm late to the party but there's nothing wrong with satisfying your curiosity by trying different power cords.As long as you can return them if they don't make a significant improvement. What I have found after trying quite a few brands on variou...

The Confessor Joe Walsh  
Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner?
14 gage romex is easy to work with.10 gage not so much.

Heritage Cornwall Iv's vs ZU Audio Omen Defs
My brother has a pair of Klipsch Chorus (which are in between the Fortes and Cornwalls).I have Omen Defs.The Klipsch lean towards the warm side and sound spectacular when cranked up,even in his 10 x20 room.They don't distort.At low volume they are...
