What Amplifiers Have You Heard In Your System and What Amplifiers Will You Always Keep
First Watt F5, J2Monarchy Audio sm70 mkII (x2)  I like different flavors,what can I say??  
Why the cost increase?
It's going to get much worse.  Only one side gets a voice. You don't agree, you're cancelled!  I understand we all can't agree on everything, but to label and censor,and cancel those you don't agree with??  When did this become acceptable on any l... 
Why the cost increase?
Look throughout our country’s history,and you will see MANY great ideas that were designed to truly help people and our country,get perverted by greed.  SS rises to the top of that list.  
power consumption of total components
It sounds like you’re on a tight monthly budget. One suggestion would be to sell whatever amp/amps you have, and purchase a new/used highly efficient class D.  Another suggestion might be to limit your listening to a couple hours a week,and never ... 
Why the cost increase?
It ain’t gonna get any better kids. Wait until the fall. (The season too!) 
Decent 25' Cable
Blue Jeans seems to be the budget minded choice. I've used their rca's in the past,and they are definitely a well made cable.  
Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound.
Well done!! Well done indeed!!  
Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!
I have to admit,I am very intrigued by contact enhancers,or really, a lot of tweaks out there.  $350 worth of intrigue?  Not sure about that at this point in time.  But still intrigued!  I have a little background in racing. Cars,snowmobiles, moto... 
FirstWatt J2 on its way
I recently picked up a J2 as well. I rotate it thru two systems. One of the ways is through passive preamp. This setup usually consists of 90db speakers,and really works well for my needs. Running 97db speakers will really work great!  I tried the... 
The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth.
My father was a gunner on a LST. He saw a fair amount of action. I’m the youngest of three. I’m 58.  He passed away in 2007 at 83.  
Using Smart Plugs to Turn on Subwoofers
Hi sean1216, multiple subs are really great. If you can,try 3,4,or 5. It’s been discussed here many times about the benefits of multiple subs.  All the hype is true.  I can only squeeze 3 into my small listening room.  If you can’t for whatever re... 
Using Smart Plugs to Turn on Subwoofers
They only put the sleep mode on the 220v version?  That does seem very odd.  I’ve never had one,but they always get pretty stellar reviews.  If and when I upgrade subs,it will be rel or rythmik.  If I go rel,it looks like smart plugs too. Let us k... 
Using Smart Plugs to Turn on Subwoofers
Other than a power outage, or going on an extended vacation, my subwoofers(10 of them throughout the house) have been left on for years. The two little pioneers in the living room have been on roughly 9 years.  The power lights stay on,but they go... 
US Speaker Manufacturer MOST in need of a Great Designer??
I thought I read that Jones left ELAC. Now I can’t find the thread. I know someone had a screenshot from his FB account.  
I need help with an amp decision
With the FW offerings, it’s probably not a good choice if you like to take a dive in the mosh pit.  I don’t listen very loud usually,but when I do,the J2,and my F5 give me all I need. But there are folks that would say my version of loud,is their ...
