| Laid back DAC under $800? Chord is fpga not ladder. Its great and costs more. | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion Right on kairosman! I have a chord qutest and it sounds better than any dac I’ve had, including r2r. Very analog and future proof. Best deal in dacs today imo. | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? Mostly alone but I love having my wife and kids comment on the music. Had a nice time Father’s Day dancing and streaming old 70s music. Puts a tear in your eyes when you listen to great music while hanging with your family. Booze helps as well. | |
| Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc Old cerwin vegas. They thump and don’t sound horrible outside. Inside.....well, that’s another story. | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... Furman elite 20. I have 1 and love it. They’re reasonable and used by many audio techs that set up for concerts. | |

| 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. | |
| What could cause this amp to fail? *1 atmosphere. Can’t handle the load. Like someone else I know. | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less Chord qutest. Fantastic. Very analog sounding. | |
| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade Btw, this will not be cheap. Not sure where you’re located but in Chicago it at least 3k. | |
| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade Ok. Here it goes. Do a 200 amp new main panel by Siemens or cutler hammer with copper busses. 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... |
