Preamp and Amp how much influence each contributes?
Assuming digital source only.How many of you would spend more on preamp than amp? Take Pass For example: how much difference a $9500 XP22 preamp will bring you over the $5800 XP12? I am sure the xp22 will be better. Most people have a limited budg...

fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed
One time A member claimed that he bought total close to $400,000 worth of Amplifiers within 2-3 years of time frame. I was curious to check his previous audiogon posts and found ZERO posts in the last 2-3 years. I then stated that I didn’t believe... 
So What Is Real?
after listened different cables: The differences are so small that I can’t even repeat my own blind test picks. So I just buy decent entry level cables( low hundreds) and spend my money on speakers, electronics, and source.

What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs?
I do believe class A 's design & sonic advantage over Class B. BUT don’t understand  say: 30 W class A vs a 250W class A/B. Isn’t the class A/B has the advantage of both ? Example:Pass Int 250 DON'T leave class A till 15 W and has all the e...

Amp change/upgrade for JBL4367 (94dB 2Way with Horn tweeter & 15" woofer)
Thanks all for your inputs. I am amazed no one recommend Mark Levinson. The main reason I included Mark Levinson is: 1)JBL & ML are under same company: Harman. 2) Most high end audio shows JBLs are paired with Mark Levinson. 3) ML has great re...

Amp change/upgrade for JBL4367 (94dB 2Way with Horn tweeter & 15" woofer)
Thanks. I don’t quite understand the advantage of say: 30 W class A vs a 250W class A/B. Isn’t the class A/B has the advantage of both ? Example:Pass Int 250 don’t leave class A till 15 W and has all the extra class A/B reserve up to 500 W into 4 ... 
Esoteric F-07, F-05, Levinson 585
I understand everyone has his own views on system components, but this is the first time i I saw a $6000 speakers paired a $4000 speaker cables. I bet you can get more gain on sound quality by buying a $10,000 with a $1000 cable. The absolute most... 
Which amp would you choose for a JBL 4367 setup?
I paid $4250 for my used Mcintosh MAC7200 including shipping. Not too far from 4000 euros 
Which amp would you choose for a JBL 4367 setup?
Since the JBL 4367 is not a very popular large speakers( compare to B&W, Wilson Audio, Focal,....), you won’t get as many  first hand advices. I am one of the few who own the JBL 4367 and am using a Mcintosh MAC7200 integrated (200Watt/Channel... 
Mcintosh MA6600
I Have the updated mac7200, also 200w integrated. You have to listen yourself to decide. McIntoshs are definitely “soft” “ polite “ as most people would call them. Meaning not clearest , not fast n not ponchy. I can accept them for easy n long lis...
