| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? It is working magnificently and didn't even give something like this a thought until it was suggested from the good folks at Simaudio as I had wanted this amp for over 20 years and now want this to last as long as possible. If I were not within dr... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? thanks @arcticdeth great advice and that is exactly my thinking.

| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Thank you again...Yes, if I do decide (and am leaning in that direction for all the good reasons many of you have offered such as an enjoyable road trip, want this amp to last as long as possible, the thought that its sound could actually improve)... | |
| Typical lifespan for a 5 channel power amp? @perkadin the Contour's are my next step after I win the lottery, LOL! I've never even listened to them and I don't want to because they're outta my league and I love my Evokes so all that will do is mess with my head:)Thanks @erik_squires I have... | |

| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? HILARIOUS!!!! Thanks MC, great way to talk me out of doing this, LOL!

| The Absurdity of it All I've seen Iron Maiden 4 times not once with ear protection. Yes I am a complete zipperhead. My 3rd time was @ MSG in 2016 and my ears literally rang for 4 days. I have lost quite a bit of trust in my ears, but it was so worth it, LOL!But I can sti... | |
| Typical lifespan for a 5 channel power amp? I actually reached out to Simaudio and they replied right away. They said since this unit came out in 2001, every single one of them is still "active". They only see about 1 a year for servicing (and he said it's usually because someone shorted a ... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? I just picked up the Schiit Audio Bifrost 2, and the difference in my system was breathtaking (literally)! I am using that mated to a Brennan B2 which I used to RIP my cd collection. It is my first DAC so I have not auditioned or compared to any o... | |

| Anyone (everyone) care to throw a dart? @arizonabob I too have pondered this very thing from time to time. I feel like you get to a certain price point (not entirely sure what the number is though I guess it's different for everyone depending on what you can afford) where to get the sli... | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? @jjss49 good point about the loudness perception. I actually fell for this way back in the day comparing Definitive Technology speakers vs PSB's. The Definitive's being bipolar (and more efficient at the time) seemed to completely overwhelm the PS... | |
| All things being equal (hypothetical) which do you prefer, XLR or RCA? Appreciate all the great responses, thank you All! Sounds like XLR is for the most part what most prefer. Like I said I have gone balanced now and will not go back I was just more curious than anything else to see what most here prefer. But I defi... |
