$40,000: What 2-channel system would you build?
tweak1, what 28K GaN amps, slashed to 14 K, are you referring to ?  Unless you are referring to willgolfs new, Mola Mola mono amps, AND matching preamp. Those Putzey Mola Mola amps are not GaN amps. 
To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
" and before I move on ". I guess they are not the keeper you say they are.  
$40,000: What 2-channel system would you build?
You can do a lot of mods and upgrades with those Klipsch Heresy speakers, and add a pair of nice powered " audio " sub woofers, as opposed to home theater boom boxes. Of course, I am a large proponent of horns, and the Klipsch Heritage, specifical... 
RCA to XLR - How bad are the current crop of adapters ?
I do, so much appreciate the responses thus far. I am sorry if I mislead anyone, as I should have been more specific and detailed about my inquiry. I have actually been listening to the amplifiers for a few weeks now, with a pair of inexpensive ca...

McIntosh MC2152 power amp technical question
Actually, most manufacturers products, new, come with the manufacturers warranty, to the 1st owner only. There are exceptions of course. The fact that they immediately told you to get the piece to them, shows me they wanted to take care of the iss... 
Tool Fear Inoculum impressions
We were asked for an opinion......that's it......Just shows our individualism....Enjoy ! MrD. 
I saw Jethro Tulls 50th Anniversary Concert Last Night
Tough crowd for sure. A big Tull fan since their beginning. Wow, 32 times. Might be a record. Saw them live, only twice. I generally never expect the sound in many of these places to have good acoustics, especially with amplifiers and speakers eve... 
Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?
charles1dad made a comment : " 5 truly superb musicians who’ve mastered their respective instrument ". I very well understand, that someone can enjoy the " sound of a particular instrument ", but instruments, require someone to play them." Any ins...

Tool Fear Inoculum impressions
They are a very talented, and great, band. BUT, IMO, Undertow, is still their best work. No need to comment...ymmv.....Enjoy ! MrD. 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
mozartfan, when I owned it ( for about a year's time ) it produced quite more heat, than my 100 wpc Krell KSA 100. And, because of my, admittedly, high volume levels, microphonics was a big problem ( other tube products, as well, not just the Defy... 
ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M.......
Will, based on other posts of his, shows this common behavior. I feel justified in my comment, as, I have nothing personal against him. But, high end audio, is an adult hobby, and should be handled as such. I also want to point out, that Will is n... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
The OP, in his initial post, mentions the speakers he is using. All that is needed is to read.....imo 
ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M.......
I feel autospec offers a reasonable product, with his Dynaco 70 rebuilds, although, I would not buy one myself. As someone mentioned above, autospec is a big crybaby, as, if he does not get what he wants, he goes public with his bantering, and tri...
