| What would improve the soundstage of my B&W 802s3 As a suggestion to make it easier to go between HT and 2 channel, if you receiver has preouts you could connect the receiver into your preamp. The preamp acts as a pass through to your main amp. If your preamp doesn’t have a volume bypass (my Clas... | |

| Power Conditioner deleterious to digital sources? Check with the respective manufactures. For example, Bryston says not to use power conditioners with their amps.Sometimes I think power conditioners are like cables. They can make a difference but it's not always good.

This is just the opposite of those big He-Man amps."It should read "... supply CAN'T pro... | |

Audioengr,To defend my honor I must clarify my statement about shielding, "Shielding the cables as they near this big rack of electronics may make all the difference. Perhaps the worst dirt is the dirt generated by your own system feeding back int... | |

This means I know just enough to be dangerous but not enough to really know what I’m talking about. I am not going to claim that power cords do not make a difference becau... | |

| Review: Magnepan MMG Speaker Zaikesman,Actually in the case of my set up it is the Bryston that is clipping. The amp has clipping indicator lights to let you know when you are asking for too much. I’ve always turned the amp down when these turn on. When I have the system that... |
