| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? I always like these discussions it makes those people that own a kia think that is is better or at worse on par with a rolls Royce or a Bentley.

| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? Look for a Canary ca160 and run it in triode try Ulta linear but you will likely prefer triode. At 100 watts triode and 140 ultra linear lots of tube power on tap. Or much more than you want to spend look for a Mark Levinson. Regards | |

| Power Cables and Wall Sockets Well first off were I love by electrical code a 15 amp circuit has to have a 14 gauge wire no more no less. You cannot by code have heavier wire on a 15 amp circuit. A 20 amp circuit requires a 12 gauge wire no more no less. Also the Hubbe... | |
| Burning in question A timer works great for a source to let play 24/7. As the other fellow said lampcord and a cheap used pair of speakers set that up at your away place turn the tuner on and walk away. Regards | |
| Neutral, transparent, warm Well an interesting topic I would also say that Robert Harley s book would be worth a read. Now first and foremost I bought a set of paradigm studio 100 s it was there top of the line in the day stereophile has them rated as class b borderline cla... | |

| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? They are not real new but ten years ago there was a company called some phase that made an inverted dome speaker where the theater was in the center I have a set they are tonally beautiful. As a point of reference I also have a pair of harbeth slh... | |
