Well you certainly have the rules and procedures. Now all you need are the people to follow them.   
One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle.
The Rose Hill Alehouse down the street went out of business because they didn’t pay their liquor license. A long time employee said no it was because they weren’t paying their unemployment insurance. Ran into one of the owners told me the landlord... 
Coiling XLRs.... yes or no?
OMG! Tablejockey nailed it! Freaking nailed it! Next two posters prove, waste of time asking here, GO AND LISTEN! Listen to it coiled, then uncoil and route the wire trying to keep it away from as much other stuff as you can, and listen again. A... 
How to Improve Gain for RCA on Preamp. Can it be done?
Always like this with RCA vs XLR. Technically, gain is the amount by which the input signal is multiplied. Gain is always fixed. Gain is fixed in amps, gain is fixed in preamps. You do not change gain other than by redesigning or modifying the amp... 
Spam as far as the eye can see!!
At least you had clothes! We didn't have skin! My father skinned me to make wallets, beat me with broken bottles, cut me in half with a butter knife and danced on my grave! And I was happy to have the grave, even though it was really just rolled u...

hiend2- Just want to explain so you don’t get the wrong idea. Read through it all you will see these guys are talking past each other. When I said 5/8" cuts sound in half compared to 1/2", that is correct. In fact, it is conservative. Sound is m... 
A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass
Thanks for reviving this discussion. I forgot how good it is. noble100 is one of the most knowledgeable sources around. My DBA was built after studying everything he had to say, plus Duke, and of course the two big guns Geddes and Toole. What it a... 
Garage Listing room
Okay, here's a fact: bkeske didn't say one word about having built anything, let alone a listening room. What he said is he knows how to follow code. by code I must adhere to them at times, ... (along with fire separation ratings) ...so that the...

Please do yourself a favor, read my first post again. Specifically, Usually only people who have actually been through this process know these things. So be careful, because a lot don't, but act like they do. So for example when I say somethin... 
Subwoofer/monoblock connection
Any way you like. I use spades. This leaves the banana connector free. For a while I twisted bare wire and stuffed it in the banana hole. You could also twist bare wire around the bare part of the spade connector. Really. Does. Not. Matter.
