Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
I'm convinced. Send the demonly QOL back, or better yet throw it on a bonfire. Oh wait... todays kids don't even have normal ears. They have big holes, or spikes in them. Maybe a QOL is just what they need. I'm not sure now... I will write my cong... 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
Preale: Like someone said earlier.. "stereo is also just an effect". That's so true, you have 2 speakers trying to create the illusion of the room. So now the QOL is also an effect, and apparently doing a nice job by adding to the 2 channel setup.... 
Possible impedance matching issue with subwoofer?
If you hook the sub up in parallel to the preamp you will go from an output to input impedance ratio of 94 to only 4. I feel that will certainly result in high frequency sparkle loss. You should look into a buffer between the preamp and sub for th... 
Possible impedance matching issue with subwoofer?
Input impedance is stated to be 20K so the preamp sees 20K to the sub and whatever ?? to the amp, but with both in paralell if the amp was 20k as well then the overall input imp. would be only 10k and that could affect freq. response on both the s... 
Pilnius SA-103 vs. Modwright KWA 150SE
Ok... I'll start this off then.I have never heard either. I was interested in members opinions, but it seems no one else is. 
My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy?
The Pass XA30.5 is my choice, but the Modwright will operate a lot cooler and also sound nice. The Parasound monos are huge and get warm plus do you need that much power? The Pass X250.5 is good up to the 15 watt Class A rating, but then transitio... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
I don't have one, let alone two of them. I would think one of these dealers could do this. I also don't see the risk of "frying" anything by hooking up two line level devices, that reportably have no gain, in series. But, you never know, so whoeve... 
Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise
At first glance I thought this post was about cosmic rays and shielding with foil hats, but to my surprise and immediate realization, I have a noisey frige too! So thank you, and I am gonna get some material as well to isolate the darn thing. 
Music Servers-Why so few?
The people at Auraliti might not be able to respond to all questions, but the PK90 is a fantastic device that removes all the settings and guesswork from a computer based setup. I have had mine running since September and I love it. It's a small b... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
I would think that if this device is the "real deal" ie not some signal processor that most people like at first, then get tired of; which I am concluding from all the positive posts that it's not; then if one were to hook two in series the sound ... 
Help with amplifier choice
Hi Al,Yes, I mostly listen to light jazz and vocals. Speakers are 10 feet away and 9 feet apart. I have a lot of hi-res (24-96/192) so I think dynamic range is important. My budget is around 5K. Thanks 
Help with amplifier choice
Just some opinions please. 
Suggestion for Preamp please ????
Look at the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE. Used about 1400. I realize that's 100 over, but read the 6 Moons review and you just might find that $100. 
OPPO BD95 output question
Kal is totally correct. The way you want to hook it up, you only need the 93. They are the same unit to that point. I am just adding my 2ยข to re-inforce Kal's comment. 
Best tube dac available?
If your list isn't long enough there is always the Blacknote DAC30. It has a 4 tube Class A output stage along with 4 coaxial and 2 async. USB inputs. I think the damm thing even has a defeatable digital volume with remote.
