What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines?
I just completed my 50 foot dedicated AC. Your question was what wire to use. I believe I addressed this issue with about the best wire available. Oyaide high quality copper three wire 10 gauge. This very special cable is available through the...

Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
In High End Audio, price is not as important as intention. However, parts, development time and labor costs do, mostly, dictate cost. However, most companies use a 5 or 6 times multiplier. However, many companies have gone to direct to consumer... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
Think there may be one or two who were not blown away with AGD. But the comments of AGD owners are unanimously raves. If you don’t need mono blocks (and/or are not a fan of the “tube” output stage) the stereo Tempo is uses the same technology a... 
Looking for wider soundstage
I have the same issue with the same cause. Speakers do need space around them. My left speaker is in a corner and my soundstage is skewed to the right. You might try moving that couch if possible. But definitely move both speakers more not the ro... 
Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?
I happily use an Atma-Sphere MP-1 with a motorized remote volume. I could not live without a remote. Am constantly adjusting the volume.  
HEAVY Platters. Metal or Plastic? Your personal Experiences
I bought a beautiful Woodsong Garrard 301. It came with a Tenuto gun metal mat. Think it added several pounds to the machined Woodsong platter. The Tenuto mat was outperformed by a Oracle acrylic mat. Which is now outperformed by my current tita... 
For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces?
I am a proud and delighted owner of AGD Audions. In 50 years at this, I have never heard anything like them. A clear window into the music. Classical is amazing. So much air and separation between instruments. So sweet violins.  And now there is... 
Cable recommandations
I would not think twice about buying a $1200 pair of Silversmith Fideliums! By far, the best speaker cables I have heard. I replaced $6K cables that are now relatively junk.  
Ridiculous sale
Some things are worth the wait. Then appreciated that much more.

@ghdprentice  Your AR 160 Ref stereo is not just the best AR I have heard, it may be the best amp I have heard. The monos must be threw the roof. So cool of your dealer to let you hold on to them. What I heard at your house was superb and defin... 
I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts.
Actually, Better Records cleans with the Monks then apples the Walker system I have been curious about the Walker but take pause at the time consuming process.

Clearaudio Matrix Used by Library of Congress?? I bought and love my Keith Monks RCM. It is used by the Library of Congress, BBC, Better Records, etc. It takes about a minute a side. I scrub in their proprietary fluid then suck it completely up w... 
Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner?
The change in SQ with the Shunyata Triton/Typhon PC is truly tremendous. Every LP is  greatly improved but the changes are most notable on classical. The instruments are separated with air around each. There is layering with 3D presentation. The...
