Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Amplifier class - whether A, A-B, D, or T is irreverent if the implementation is bad. If all else is equal, class A is the way to go. No compromises and a short signal path are key to achieving optimal performance.You could have a class D outperfo... 
Power cord choice?
High-quality power cords are worth it.Power cords costing the same as a system are not.Look up Furukawa if copper purity is important. Then buy a hospital-grade power cord. Compare the 2. Can you tell a difference?If so, sell the spare(s).

Plz help me choose the right Torus Power for my Plinius ref SA amp
This is a question for sales @ Torus.It should be okay, but if I were you I would double-check with them.

Esoteric SA-50 Cant figure out how to adjust volume........

@tooblue Who knows? 
Integrated amp/speaker matching
Nominal impedance is listed on speakers. You should always match it to your speakers. For instance, an amp will have a "safe" range like: 4 ohms to 16 ohms8 ohms to 16 ohms16 ohms or moreIf the speakers have a high sensitivity rating, you won’t ne...

My Terrible Emotiva Experience
Nope. As a mole, you should be encouraging others to do better than you. You should be ashamed of yourself for seemingly popping out of nowhere.What the heck is a cool room temp IQ?Are you the OPs lawyer? Didn't know moles could pass the bar...⚖if...

MQA actually tested
The biggest mistake one can make when mastering is...Making the song sound polished, but lifeless. In other words, it sounds like a recording and not like music. In a rock song for instance, the opening cymbals should have both weight and depth. N...
