Need help choosing my first amp for my first speakers
Off topic, but curious if 12 pairs of jc has any significance, or do you also need a new keyboard😏  
BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590
@geof3 Nice! Thank you.  
BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590
@geof3 Thanks for the insight. Curious what you have now for power and what speakers you own?  
Accuphase Experiences
So many d-bags on this site...    Really? For stating an opinion? Me thinks izj is the pot calling the kettle black. Sorry, even if the video was recorded with the same mic, there are far too many variables to get a true sense of the sound of ... 
Are You a Swifty?
Getting back to the question "Are You a Swifty". No. I don't have anything against her, and good for her for being wildly successful.  I've heard a couple of random songs on SXM radio that I thought were decent, and was surprised to find out it... 
Overkill for small room
Welcome to the insane asylum! (kidding) Lot’s of good advice here but no questions about what kind of music you like and at what volume? The reason I ask, is that your musical preferences can and should inform your speaker/amp choices. One of t... 
Rega P10 with Apheta 3
I thought so too, even though I’m not a big fan of ProJect. the Hana ML is great for the money.  
Not enough outlets
I have a similar situation, only 1 duplex outlet so I plug the amp into the wall and use a "Cullen Gold Series Power Box 6 outlet". Very well made and reasonably priced. I tried to post a link but it got blocked.  
Integrated amp: Component weight
Maybe I missed it, but which Harbeth's? Lot's of opinions about amps that will sound great with your Harbeth's, without knowing the model, or perhaps an assumption you have a version of the 40's given the stated power requirement of 200-300 wpc.  
Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig...
There are some good suggestions here however in my opinion and experience I would never buy anything from ProJect again. Engineering and build quality at the higher end is poor - you can do better.     
Handling Heavy Amps
I'm in the same boat with low back issues - but with L4&5 fused, 2 disc spacers etc.  FWIW I recently bought a BAT VK3500 to power my Harbeth 40.3 XD's. I'm really happy with it. It weighs 50lbs. I managed installing it without any difficulty... 
Musical Expectation Bias
This is getting into "This is Your Brain on Music" territory. A very well written book, but I lost the enthusiasm (the point) about halfway through. Maybe I'm missing the point, but personally, I'm happy that I have an open mind, and I am not pig... 
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
mahgister, with all due respect, I truly believe you have created something special, at a fraction of the cost others, including myself have spent, and good on you for achieving audio utopia. (btw I'd love to hear a vintage Sansui amp with some ol... 
Anybody using the last record preservative
@ghdprentice even extra virgin?  
PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound
@normb  have to ask the question NOBODY has thought to mention: why use a slug at all?  Just unsolder and BYPASS the actual fuse slot, socket, clips, clamp or solder  Cause many people don’t want to take the component apart, or know how to sol...
