Please recommend a receiver/integated/seaprates for JBL studio 530.
Well the problem is instead of looking for a good amp you're looking for an amp that will make your speakers sound good, which is another thing altogether. I mean its fine if that's what you want but are you sure?The sound you're looking for, "lus... 
What do you think of Q-sound recordings?
Got a question for you: How is it possible to see this as anything other than just a gimmicky process? 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
Oh, he’s right all right. You simply disagree. That doesn’t make him wrong. In this case it makes you wrong. Probably your shoddy reasoning led you astray. Just look at what you wrote:Duke’s (and Earl Geddes’) findings on this are by all accounts ... 
10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
I like to detail cars and am able to inspect paint at a much higher level than most.  It’s actually difficult to point out to others what I see, but more importantly, what I’m looking at with regards to the reflections in paint.  Same is true with... 
An unusual problem
I actually just got rid of an awesome REL simply because it provided a 15% gain in sound quality for me and a 75% gain in irritation for my room mate.  So there you have it- REL: the sub so good even when its bad its because its so good.There's ne...

Looking for the Best Digital Power Cord
After carefully looking through the the responses I decided to give Pete with Triode a shot.  I just ordered the dig Amer.  So far he has been a pleasure to work with and quite informative.  I will be sure to reply back when I have had a chance to... 
Bob Carver Integrated Amp
Right. Tubes are after all glowing red hot metal surrounded by glass.If you touch one and get burned, well its kind of like the Burger King song. You know the one sung to the tune of The Carol of the Bells. Ding fries are done, ding fries are done... 
What would you buy
Watts are watts, doesn’t matter how they are derived.  The tube amps clip much more gracefully  and that is the reason they sound more powerful. Then why did every one I tried sound more powerful even when driven nowhere near clipping? Three diffe... 
Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324
Right. Phono stages are a real challenge. Ideally they would be all tube designs because, well, sound better. But its real hard to get as low noise level as we’d like. The Herron is a good compromise. I have the 2A, its awesome. Have tried enough ... 
Coiling excess Speaker cable, is this a problem?
I don’t think insulting other forum participants due to your lack of understanding of a topic is an appropriate way to behave.I see. And yet its okay for you. You just said I lack understanding. That’s an insult. Pot, meet kettle.When someone writ... 
10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
Wow, some scary stuff in here. People believing a copper wire has a direction, others saying they don’t care or believe science... I was starting to get the vibe there are a lot of arm-chair Electrical engineers around here, and maybe few Santeria... 
A song of hope that I wrote.
Sorry to hear. How long have you been TDS? 
For efficient speakers, how much difference does an amp really make?
You are on the right track. The Binford 2000 LE at 113 dB is so efficient it doesn’t even need an amp. The voice coils pick up RFI, you don’t even need a source!Sorry, but its been a long day of silly questions- and even worse replies. Look, you w... 
How do you sort your LPs?
