HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP!
I have read on htguide.com how much the Magnepan fans love the Parasound A21 with their loudspeakers. Check out the Club Halo forum on that site. Some users also provide tips on how to optimize the sound of Magnepans. Read that years back; so you ... 
RMAF vs AXPANO
You are welcome @nasaman. Do carry a USB pen-drive with your favorite music. Majority of the demonstrations now use Tidal or some streaming service, so finding music should not be an issue.Have fun!

Well, if you have the dough, whats $300 or $3000?I have $60 custom made jumpers from ClearDay that worked awesome for my speakers. 
Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there?
@professorsvsu,Congratulations on the decision. Would love to read about your comparison between the A21 and the 4B3. 
RMAF vs AXPANO
If you read the letters in Stereophile, then there is one in Jan-2018 where a gentleman shares his experience at RMAF. Basically he says how snobbish that show was and people looked down upon him (that is the feeling, he says he got) when he reque... 
Proac D48R
Hey, why not make this the official ProAc D48R owner's thread? Now I have them and love what they are doing.

Surge Protector - Brick Wall/Zero Surge vs SurgeX
I have the Brickwall since 2005. But the Zero Surge 8R15T-I looks so similar. Either of them should work in a nice system.Looks like OP is not active on these forums anymore. 
Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc
@freediver,I have listened to the Special 40. They are one of the newer models in the Dynaudio lineup. They sound really good, IF front-ended by some very good ancillaries from Moon or Mark Levinson. I have heard them in such a system, wired with ... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
The ProAc D48R are in the house. I am pretty thrilled. They are pretty heavy. My wife helped me carry them to the listening room in the basement. She also helped me unpack and set them up. She supports my hobby and I simply cannot imagine followin...

What's on your audio wish list for 2018?
+1 @jmcgrogan2  
Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection?
+1 @marktomaras.Al amazes me every time I read and try to digest some information he provides. Amazing, isn't it? And the best part is, there is ZERO bias in his responses.Maybe we should have a "Almargopedia" section on audiogon :-) 
Help with upgrading Pre Amp
@infection,It is hard to believe that the STP-SE Stage 2 beats Pass XP-20, especially considering the price difference and the Pass reputation. I am not denying your experience; just very curious and can't believe it, considering the Pass brand. W... 
Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back?
I think it comes down to personal preference. I got a chance to listen to Goldenear (not sure about the model) at Audio Concepts in 2014, and it left me unimpressed. Surprised by @jnc's comment that they were "in your face" when he listened to the...
