| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Yes, buy a measurement micbut even before that buy or borrow a copy of the Master Handbook of acoustics and learn a little about the physics - it will cut the time spent with the measurement mic by a lot3rd... room tmts.4th - bigger speakers or su... | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? anyone advocating spendy outlets - much less covers - had better be able to offer some electronics insight into how they could possibly improve SQand no, confirmation bias is not a good reason to buy snake oil | |

| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? the sky is blue because of Rayleigh scatteringnot surprisingly, science has answers for that as well as fuses | |

| Integrated amp nad is good; Creek is a step upNuforce is an award winning amp and is very inexpensive - may be a couple on Amazon (return priv. may apply) if people have not snapped them all up yet | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? No. Don't waste your $$ on snake oil.If you DO have a problem, address power cables to your DAC first & then an AC power converter (transformer) such as a used Topaz.a search on here will be revealing | |
