EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one?
I think there are four reasons that combine. Many people are afraid of them because they could be used to make things worse and they are not confident in their abilities to know when things are better or worse. Many people have not heard a properl... 
general
If I understand correctly, you want to run the output of a preamp into the inputs on a receiver. You might be able to do this two ways. If your receiver has "amp in" rca jacks, you can use just the amp portion of the receiver. If your receiver doe... 
Speaker swap or Amp,which impacts more????
Changing speakers and adding room treatments and room correction will make far greater improvements than changing amplifiers, unless you are literally running out of power with your current amplifier. In addition, because differences in speakers s... 
What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600?
I bought a Berning Personal Amp for my HD 600s and have been extremely happy with it. 
Personal amp evolution
These are my personal amps, in order of purchase starting in 1971. I think it is a fairly short list for 35 years. The amps I still have are marked with an asterisk. Dynaco Stereo 120, Harmon Kardon Citation 12, Dynaco Stereo 400, Phase Linear 700... 
Amp/ receiver advice for Spendor SP2/3's
Look into the Marantz PM7200 integrated amp. It has 95 watts per channel. You cannot do better for the money [$500]. [Huge Caveat: I am biased because I sell these amps. But counterpoint: I sell Plinius and TacT and Creek, but they are expensive. ... 
Spendor Bc1 what is a good upgrade mod ?
Don't tamper with your BC1s. Enjoy these wonderful speakers for what they are. And whatever you do, do not overdrive them. If they do not satisfy on some music, get a pair of SP1/2s or Harbeth Compact 7s [or a sub]. 
Spendor like sound...mini-monitors.....

Best Speakers for Musical Fidelity TriVista?
The Spendor SP1/2e and SP2/3e go well with my Berning amps, but I do not know how they would play with your amp. I have listened to a number of speakers, and these are the most satisfying speakers I've found. Their biggest limitations are loudness... 
Where have all the protest songs gone?
I know it is pretty pitiful to be citing to single songs, but check out Arlo Guthrie's *Patriot's Dream* cut on Jennifer Warnes's *The Well*. Or try Carrie Newcomer's *I Heard an Owl* off *The Gathering of Spirits*, written just after 9/11/2001. *...

how to set Nero Burning room speeds? help
The front panel says 40x12x48x, but I want to read slower, not faster, than 4x. 
how to set Nero Burning room speeds? help
One other question: When I check the write speed, it offers me options down to 4x, but no slower. Does it make sense that the writer can go no slower than that?
