Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube?
Just like the camera/lens gears reviews, I enjoy his reviews on audio equipments although not many of them I could afford.  
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
Very difficult if not impossible. That is why Goldenear speakers have the built-in sub...    
What difference do power cables make?

Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?

Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
List is really too long.  New or used.  Bookshelf or floor stander.  Need to do your own homework.  Read reliable reviews such as Stereophile or on-line.  You will get much better information that is from true experts instead of ad-hoc opinions he...
