Just a public call out
Wouldn't you need a lot of power to drive 4 ohm speakers?  
Neutral, transparent, warm
I would listen to a lot of speakers and then chose the one that sounds best to you.  It also depends upon the music you listen.  If you like to hear crisp highs like cymbals then choose tweeters that can produce this sound.  If you have some local... 
Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?
 Luxman is the way to go.  
Optical vs Ultra Rendu.
I have a BlueSound Node 2i.  Would this hook up to my BlueSound?  Has anyone done a true blind test?  This would require someone to change the connections to do an A/B comparison without the listener knowing the source by doing a random switching ... 
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
Wait until the United States starts writing checks for $trillions to rebuild Ukraine.  We will contribute 90% to rebuild Ukraine.  We should send a bill to Russia.  Perhaps tell Russia we will lift some of the sanctions if they pay to rebuild.  As...

Used amps, how to tell if,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
What do you mean by caps?  I am sure I am not the only one who doesn't know what the term Caps means.  
God doesn't need to know what time it is.
You can buy a nice house for$1.6 million.  Perhaps, call it the House Collection on a Wrist?  
Low Level Listening and Distortion
I am a fan of Salk Song3 Encores.  I was most impressed at the RMAF.    
Sad to say I need a new amp…
It seems like there is a lot of maintenance and expense to maintain a tube amp.  Still not sure why some choose a tube amp over solid state.  I believe they sound warmer.  However, who would want to keep up with buying replacement tubes.  My son i... 
Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording?
I would think a lot of this depends upon how things are set up and what is in the room.  Actually, there is a dealer here who specializes in Master Set.  They demonstrated this in their showroom.  You couldn't detect either left or right speaker.    
Speaker system
If you have a large room like this, you must live in a mansion.  That said you will have a difficult time filling that room with sound.  If you can afford a room that size in your home, you can certainly afford a larger size system.  That is a hug... 
Moving from Harbeth m30.1 to m30.2 XD
I don't believe there is a Harbeth dealer in my area.  Seems like a lot of people like them.  I was surprised to read they are only rated at 85 db.  I would think buying a speaker that is at least 90 db might possibly produce less distortion.  Doe... 
Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording?
Count yourself lucky.  You must have a nice sounding system.  You might consider adding a pair of REL SHO subwoofers.  Their high-level connection allows them to play like woofers.  The trick is to dial them in until you cannot detect them.  I hav... 
An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality
I just listened to 20 minutes of the podcast and I think you need to be an engineer to understand what they are talking about.  They are obviously tube amp advocates.  I wonder what actually sounds better a tube amp or a solid state?  I know when ...
