| A warm DAC? Chord qutest. Analog sounding that presents the music accurately and uncolored. Just might fit your system. | |

| Measuring line noise and power conditioners I tested my ac outlets with a rfi meter before my furman and it was 97. I could hear the police talking on radio. After the furman it was 2. Couldn’t hear anything. I also added a 20amp dedicated solid strand line and an audioquest Edison nrg 20 o... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only Boulder, gryphon and Rowland. All top notch high end equipment. You’ll have nothing but smiles with any of those companies. | |
| Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns I’d run a first watt ss amp with a Conrad Johnson pre. That would be very detailed and lush which is the sound you want with those Klipschorns. I find them bright to begin with so you’ll have to tame them down, | |
| Cool it! I have a krell ksa 100 with an internal fan. It gets hot but never to the touch. I wouldn’t worry about cooling it. They were designed to run warm. Btw, mine sounds best after 1/2hr. 100 wpc pure class A. After 25yrs still sounds fantastic. | |

Your electrician should follow codes for ground rod install. Then attach a whole house surge protector to the main panel. Eaton is fine. Then for your au... | |

| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? I have an opportunity to by a linkwitz Orion speaker Right now. The problem is it needs 3 amps to run it. The sound is amazing. The bass astonishing. It’s the 3 amps I’m not nuts about. Supposedly, the amps don’t even need to be that great. My ene... | |
| Does altitude change the sound of speakers?? Make sure you increase the timing by a couple ticks and lean out the carb. She’ll run fine. | |
| In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment The people who they are appealing to are not affected in any way by the current economic crisis. 30k to them is like 30 to me. God bless them and may they stay healthy. My wife is a nurse and I can assure you that covid19 is not concerned with you... | |
