Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
You didn't say what I want so now I will sue you? What have things come to?  
Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it
Don't do it!!  
Lowend amp
Adcom 565 mono's can be had at this price point  
power cord for pass 250.8
I use this one with a Pass Labs X350.5.....   NRG Custom Cables | Reference Power Cable | Hand-Crafted   Just under $400 and well constructed ;)  
Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile?
@jfrmusic   Please take a look on the net for Krell Resolution 1’s and Stereophile review for the details. Difficult load yes.   I am suggesting you purchase an amp that will suffice for upgrades to come. The Benchmark is an excellent amp if ... 
***WANTED*** NAD M25 Power Supply Board ***PLEASE HELP***
Common problem. Contact NAD they will sell you the new one to replace. LOL I'd get two if you want to keep the amp long term.  
Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile?
@jfrmusic When the X350.5 turns on it draws 600W. After that it depends on what I do with it. If it just sits there it will be warm to the touch on the fins but that’s about it. I don’t have a problem grabbing them with pressure and it’s not hot a... 
Benchmark LA4 vs SPL Elector vs PS Audio StellarGold
When I purchased the SPL Elector the Benchmark was on my short list.    It came down to the internal build for me along with both units having excellent reviews for neutrality and lack of presence. Having a Krell preamp as well I know what quiet... 
Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile?
I have owned Bryston and live a couple of hours away from the facility. Lots of representation up here in Canada.    The sound quality is quite neutral. Don't expect a different sound between the two. Bryston quickly gets harsh and compressed wh... 
Brag About Your Vinyl Collection
Thousands of LP's however it is the hundred or so autographed ones I really value from the experience of meeting the artists.   
Mark Levinson 27.5 or McIntosh MC2205
I have had the Kef 104/2's in the 80's. Sounded wonderful with Luxman power amps. Very forgiving speakers so you will be good with both. Myself I prefer the older quality of Levinson and Krell to the Mac  
Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice
I’m a product of the 80’s and a metal head to the core.   Having bounced around both home and car audio on the higher end for nearly 40yrs I have found speed to be key. Speaking mainly on the bottom end of the frequency spectrum however there is... 
Have anyone tried SPL Audio Elector or Director in a high end setup?
I have the Elector and have compared it with a few other preamps I have..... Luxman C-02 Krell KSL Paragon System E (tube preamp)   My digital is a Denon DCD S-10 and analog is a Sonographe SG-3 with a Jelco 250ST and an AT VM540ML.   Downs... 
Klipsch Heresy vs Forte
With specific music such as piano or female vocals the older Heresy's are right up there with the best   
Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
If you are near a Pass Labs dealer you could always compare a class A/B directly to Class A. Pass Labs drop out of pure A at their rated output to A/B and keep going producing more power. You would have a chance to see say what an X line can do, w...
