One Cord To Rule Them All
What Mitch said. Worry about the outlet power to the regenerator. A big gauge cord is more than enough. My furman is plugged into a dedicated 20 amp circuit with an audioquest nrg outlet. I’ve got a regular pc. I test it with an rf tester. It’s de... 
Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?
Cayin h80a integrated hybrid amp.. so smooth and organic. You can roll tubes to change sound signature. 80 wpc class A. Should be able to find a used one for around 2-2.5k.  
members and their systems
Buy used. People will think you’re rich. I wouldn’t even tell my friends how much my used gear is. They would think I’m nuts. My family and I don’t eat out. I quit golf. Have a house below my means and I quit yayowhen I was 21. Now, I’ve got my yo... 
WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
Heard a pair of sophias with pass mono blocks. 600 wpc. The sound was stunning. If I could afford them, I’d buy a pair of Sophia 3’s. Matched with my krell pure class A would be awesome.  
Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?”
McIntosh has quite the house sound. Muddy and grainy or lush and detailed. Depending on how much your drinking.  
Need preamp suggestion
Wow! I’ll take 2. ^^^^^^^. At any price lol. Obviously you’ve never heard high end audio.  
A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV
Agree with garbage crossovers. Great speakers. Buy new crossovers from alk engineering and they really sing.  
ROON NUCLEUS+ KEEPS CRASHING
Like my tech buddy says “ if you got a computer, you got problems”. Probably modem/nucleus interface issues.  
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Just unacceptable. What happened to quality control. Get rid of tt and buy a vpi.  
Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass
Chord qutest for sure. Fantastic dac. Great tight bass.  
Cart adjustment, that moment when you nail it!
Until next week or the next bad recording.  
If your were to assemble a vintage system ?
A sansui integrated, a pioneer pl series turntable with a Shute v15 cart, large advents. 1500 will be close. It would sound decent for sure.  
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
Rolling Stones at soldier field 98’. Got stuck working for them for 5 days setting up the show, we all got free tix, then when the show started, it was so bad we all left.  
Building a house
Open cell foam on all cavities. Dedicated outlets. Been a builder for 30yrs.  Good luck.  
CD player reliability.... good and bad.
Got a rega Apollo that’s 20 yrs old. It’s perfect. Love it. Had denon, Sony es, carver. All of them broke. Rega’s are solid.
