| Why can you buy a car at dealer Invoice but audio Go check out the book, what car dealers don't want you to know.It is a serious eye opener for this type of business practice. I actually read the book from cover to cover and went with your significant other to help her purchase a new Tahoe SUV a ... | |

| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier Mapman; No I haven't heard any class D amps with my Martin Logans. I would be very interested in hearing some. If Jeff Rowland amps are Class D, then I know he did it right. Switching power supplies are not new. They were/are used in auto amps bec... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier Kijanki: You will get no disagreement from me. At present I haven't heard a Class D amp that I really liked much. However, I haven't heard the New Jeff Rowland equipment lately. But, I have always really liked Jeff Rowland equipment anyway. Well d... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier I don't believe that an amp has to be heavy to sound good. But, I do know to get rated power over the specified bandwidth, you need a serious power supply supply. you can't get around it. Which means that the tranformers must be huge and heavy. La... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier The lighter amplifiers I have listened to are okay to great with efficient speaker loads at lower power levels. but, give them a difficult load or inefficient speakers and we have a problem. I prefer to not have to change my amps when I change spe... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier Power supply, power supply, power supply. You can't get around it, unless you get creative with switching power supplies. you need massive transformers (very heavy) and if sophisticated, massive coils (also very heavy). Efficient heat sinking is a... | |

So, I investigated the "market price" for the item, remembered how long I have owned it or how old it was to determine how much to mark it down or mark it up in the eve... | |
| How to protect against burglary Home security systems with cameras (not necessary but helps) are a good deterent. Thieves do not like noisemakers. They don't want attention drawn to them. If people are watching, they prefer to go elsewhere. if you have signs in front that advert... | |
| Upscale RCA Jacks - McIntosh This is truly funny to read. Sometimes I make my own cables and for decent quality cables I use Canare cables and connectors. Their top connector fits so tight, that on lesser expensive electronics it will rip out the metal part of the connectors ... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Wow, the negativity is amazing sometimes. Yes, some manufacturers do come out with new (updated, or latest and greatest) products very quickly. For many reasons. 1)Keeping their names out there so people would think they are on the cutting edge (e... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k It is funny to read all the negative responses. Many manufacturers come out with the "latest and greatest" periodically. I mentioned in previous posts that manufacturers have to keep their name out there, and with the exception to the very poor an... | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... Although my music server sounds wonderful connected to my Audio Research DAC, the separate CD Transport that I use still sounds slightly better connected to the same DAC. Even when I swapped the inputs from optical to RCA for both. So, when I real... | |
