| McCormack DNA with Schiit Preamp? I owned a DNA-1 with revision B and the best sounding tube preamp was the VTL 2.5 preamp and I have tried several others that were considered very good. My wife commented that this was the magic combination and the best sound yet. A few years back... | |
| Bryston preamps The Bryston preamps are ok, but if you want to improve the overall sound you should consider an Audible Illusions tube preamp, like the L1. An excellent preamp and known to be a very good preamp to use with solid state amps without too many conne... | |

| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store Was there a meter in the showroom where you have to keep inserting money for every 30 minutes of listening? Are you kidding me? This dealer is over the line. I could see a restocking fee for an amplifier you purchased then decided to return. Stay ... | |
| I blew up my receiver. Now what? Better the receiver then you receiving 220 volts, it is after all, just a receiver. The only thing in my home that runs on 220 volts is the electric water heater and and there is a severe warning about about electric shock that can kill. Always ch... | |
| I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for! tony1954, I could easily see how a non audiophile would mistake those speakers for room dividers and I think it was admirable of you to point out what she was really selling and their value,.On the other side of the coin a young lady was selling a... | |

It more likely then anything else that shipping speakers do result in shipping claims and negative feedback so it is good that you were able to... | |

| Ground loop feedback - cable wire issue Just lift the ground of the amp or preamp if they both have a three prong plug, you can do this by using a cheater plug if they don't have a grounding lift switch. System will still be grounded via interconnects as long as one component is grounded. | |
| Have you "lied" to yourself? Yes sometimes you have to lie to yourself especially when you spend more and buy a piece that sounds as good or worse then what you already have. Eventually you have to come to grips that you wasted your money and must move on. I hate the words la... | |
| Belles Virtuoso power amp - My initial experience You lucky dog. the upper tier Belles amps are in a league of their own. For those that have not heard one you owe it to yourself to give one a listen, you will then realize what you've been missing. Big full sound with a tall sound stage. Definite... |
