Does it matter which component I power up first?
Tbromgard.. Your manual is correct. 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Rok2.. they act like we are supposed to be in awe of what they have and treat them like gods. I usually ask if they have anything better than what I'm looking for and they seem to get the message. I could just as soon buy a hot rod car, rare coin,... 
Does it matter which component I power up first?
Preamp, sources, power amp last on. Power amp off first. Don't believe the rest of us? Do it your way with the volume all the way up. 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Knghifi, I thought I saw car mentioned somewhere. It doesn't take a study to know that a lot of the rich are that way due to sacrifce. The poor made as much money but lived beyond their means. Poor credit should mean more for the borrower to pay b...

The car dealership has to lower the price for people with slow or bad credit in order to get the person approved for the loan, so that person was offered a lower price than I was offered in order for the dealership to make the sale. I went elsewar... 
Buyers Beware Avoid Shawser61 Possibly Fraud
If you used paypal and a credit card, paypal pays back the buyer (as long as you win the case or get your CC company to issue a chargeback) then goes after the seller to recover their costs. Best of luck. 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
You probably have more than I do. My point is that no one regardless of what they have or don't have should be treated poorly weather they are a prospect, customer, or client especially when others are within listening distance. They have acted th... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Roxy, first of all dumbass, lots of people have more money than me, but at least I have enough to be in this hobby. When I last visited AV SOUTH (I was invited to a private sales venue after hours) I asked the price of a used Linn Classik for my d... 
What made the biggest, most noticeable improvement
Tube amp, power cords, tube preamp, speakers, IC's, speaker wire and rack. $5,000.00 for a powercord does not require a lobotomy, it simply shows you're not rich enough for the big leagues. Weather it works or not is a meaningless story as long as... 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Invenio78...cars? Not priced accordingly to income or credit? The hell they aren't. Dealerships will work the price down as far as they can for a person with poor credit rather than someone willing to finance (to get a lower cost) then pay the loa... 
The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio
Stop buying for the next 2 years. 
Buyers Beware Avoid Shawser61 Possibly Fraud
A heads up should be posted anywhere it can be seen. Part of a sellers responsibility is to keep the buyer informed throughout the transaction. Maybe this was the only way he could have afforded the vacation in the first place. I think I'd get my ... 
How to pack speakers w/out original boxes?
If you know how to pack, you can make boxes stronger than the originals. It takes a little time, but you can use thicker and better foam sheets, cut round foam noodles for the corners and line the second box with protection also. I always keep the... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
It's your money. If she complains, buy something else to go with your first purchase. Just be sure you know how to manage money...or it'll manage you. 
How big of a difference do amps make?
You'll get better seperation with mono's too. If you keep the Thors, get a new set of tubes plus a couple of extras for back up and you should be set for a while.
