Preamp Gain issues with high efficiency speakers
I tend to stay away from any preamplifiers using an ALPs pot. The attenuator is the heart and soul of a good preamp and can make a huge impact on the end result.  
Preamp Gain issues with high efficiency speakers
Something doesn’t add up. The input sensitivity of the Premier 11 is 950mV, which is high, but not as high as some CJ amps. Some are on the order of 500-600mV. I can see where 25 db of gain and 100 db speakers would pose a problem. But the Sys sho...

Look forward to your video.  
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti

Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET
I had a similar issue many years ago with a Music Reference amp. Turned out to be one of the output transformers needed replacing. Not an easy or cheap repair.  
Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome
The new Schiit Skoll is getting some pretty good reviews. I'd consider that over the Mani.   Skoll  
"Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"????
Here is the one I'm most fond of. "Just back from manufacturer for a check up" How many here have sent a piece of audio gear back to the manufacturer to get it checked out before a sale if it's performing properly? Now the seller may have had a ...

Latest D'Agostino monoblock amps???
Holy thread revival, Batman.  
LP storage advice please?
@ghdprentice    Where do you get those cubes? Is there any need to anchor them or will they stack fine as is?      
Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions?
They were the darling of the month not long ago. Seems like a lot of them getting dumped now. Maybe expectations were a little too high from all the positive press?
