| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle @mlapenta yes it is shocking the difference it makes. I ran a group of individual 20 amp circuits with the furutech plugs. All the same.length wire and all coming from the same.leg of the box. I look now and likely should have gotten hifi ... | |
| Too much power? With ny one set of monoblocks I changed speakers that were much harder to drive a d with the bigger load on the amp they system came to life. The speaker needs to match the amp | |

| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle Well personally I like the Ayre k1xe better than the newer ones and you should find one within your budget.

| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? I had one system that cables didn't .after but I must say I wo that system selling magazine subscriptions in junior high so it goes with out saying how good the system was. Lol | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Basically in my opinion Basically with hi fi you are turning a formula one car. When it is all done right it is very impressive but wrong all you have is an old Chevy, Ford or Pontiac. So quite likely setup or matching etc etc was wrong or p... | |
