| Choosing a Solid State Class A/B integrated amp It`s rare to find pop and rock recordings anywhere close to this sort of range of swinging db levels.Rare, but not impossible. Among older pop CDs you will find some with excellent dynamic range. Try Suzanne Vega's self-titled CD 5072, made in Jap... | |
| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? Your amp and preamp are permanently on, but your CD player is off? Something's fishy.Regards, | |

| The Problem with Synergistic Research 11-04-12: Tbg writes:Sabai, Why would you try power conditioner in series? Sabai also likes to use 3 different interconnect cables, interspersed with Bybees, and 3 different power cables connected with IEC burn-in adapters, and I think he also has... | |
| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? Digital - why turn them off? I leave my CD player on all the time - but otherwise, three. 1 to get the preamp out of standby (but it's a button on the remote) and wait 60s; and 1 switch at the back of each power amp - then wait 2 minutes until the... | |

| New level of ridiculousness I think marble was a poor choice. There are better stone materials - like steatite. Would not have to line it with cork. I don't mind an attempt to go all out on any component, but when bling simply takes over, as in this case, it does not appeal.... | |
| Frequency Response I think +/- 3dB is the standard way of expressing the linearity of the frequency response, and if you did not quote the deviation in your 30-30k spec, I'm going to assume it. You are doing well if your speakers are only down 3dB at 30Hz - that's v... | |
| Top Speaker Cables for SET System- under $5k used I use DIY silver foil speaker cables with my Lamm SETs. There was a group buy quite a few years ago organized by John Chapman and he obtained some wide pure silver foil for the participants. I paid around $200. These cables are just foils, wrapped... | |
