Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
The gain control on my AricAudio amp is useful for when I switch to ultralinear.Then it can be increased just enough so the preamp volume operates efficiently.  
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... 
Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
Great thread!I love traditional blues but have difficulty finding newer artists that don't inject an inordinate amount of loud rock n roll into it. Larkin Poe and Joe Bonamassa are incredibly talented but the long guitar and slide solos are not fo... 
Buying online, online searches and Scams oh my!
I might go to the second page when I'm searching for information about something but would never send money to an obscure website to purchase something that seems too good to be true. Not tempting at all.  
Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?
@cey your thoughts are spot on ! think. I'm in a FB group for Rogue owners and  many owners of the amps are so pleased with the performance that they ask a lot of questions about upgrading to the other models.I only have a Rogue preamp so I don't ... 
Favorite Obscure Rock Song
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.

Very very nice! Thank you for posting.  
Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1
I owned a Tubadour lll for several years and used it exclusively for CDs. No experience with streaming with it though. Never had any problems whatsoever. I just got the itch to try something new  but I was very happy with it.  
Audio envy - dang!
I just received a pair of O'nestian XLRs today to go between a Pontus ll and Lokius EQ. And Dang! is right. Right out of the box I think it is smooth and refined. Very nice indeed.Adding the Lokius meant having to add another cable so I've been tr... 
Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ?
My brother has Klipsch Chorus which are in between Fortes and Cornwalls. I took my Quicksilver mid monos to his place and we both thought it was a great match. I believe the Chorus are 102db sensitive. This was in comparison to his Parasound amp,b...
