| Class A amplifier alternative? You won't find any used and will need to raise your budget to $5Kish but soon you will be able to buy the new Atma-Sphere Class D mono blocks. Even after some time, I don't think you will find any used because I don't think anyone will want to par... | |
| Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables I absolutely share all enthusiastic voices for Fideliums! Replaced excellent $6K cables for the $1200 Fideliums. Those other cables now seem like junk relatively. I understand that Fideliums have replaced some uber expensive cables. Could, in fac... | |

| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. Steve G is a nice guy. So it seems. Agree or disagree, he presents information in a pleasant manner. And speaks well to the up and coming audiophiles. I have enjoyed watching several Of his videos. | |
| How do you listen? There seems to be a consensus-75 to 80ish db.That is exactly how I listen. Going to the symphony, I have never had the experience of feeling the sound was too loud. Unlike listening to my system.Rock concerts are a different experience. Especially... | |

| What do audiophiles do in their cars? The furthest dip I will take from my main system is my headphone office system. Once interested in a car system, I now will not listen to music in the car. On Serius/XM in the car I listen to cable news. | |
