| A/B-ing speakers of different impedances. You were perfectly clear. Sorry if we weren’t. Well those of us offering useful advice anyway. Thought the jokey sarcasm would have clued you in. Oh well. Then let me explain as clearly as I’m able why the switch box should never be done. Spoiler ... | |
| Increasing bass on floor standing speakers Walls. Proximity to walls is the single biggest factor. Both for the speakers as well as for you. Speakers back against a wall and near the floor with you sitting near a wall, that's about as much bass as you're ever gonna get. Usually people pref... | |

| Substantial Upgrade Import taxes is the wrong word. Tariffs, I think, is what I’m looking for. No, its what you’re looking to avoid. What I am looking for is where you are. Which is why I asked, where are you? Anyway, had your chance. Bye! | |

| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Static electricity can cause the pop, but its the pop that blows the stage not the static charge per se. In other words the static charge itself doesn't reach the phono stage. Usually when stoic charges are powerful enough to notice gross pops lik... | |
| TT upgrade for me Hard to go wrong with a SOTA. They have a very intelligent design philosophy of using different materials with different specific vibration control properties optimized for each location. There is no such thing as a table you can just plop down in... | |

| Help! Buy McIntosh MA252? No, its not overkill. And no, you can do better. For less even. Because your speakers are 90dB sensitivity, which is a bit low by my standards but still fine for one of these https://www.ravenaudio.com/product/nighthawk-mk3-tube-amplifier/ A Night... | |
