Power Amp Question
@bop333 -                        Have fun and happy listening, George!  
Power Amp Question
@bop333 -      btw: Are you dissatisfied with your system's SPL output, with all sources, or- only with your analog setup?      I've been trying to find the voltage output for your AT MC cartridge, but: guess that's a company secret.      The o... 
Power Amp Question
@bop333 -      Supposedly: your current speakers are fairly sensitive, at 92 dB/1W/1M.         Many SS amps will safely double their 8 Ohm output wattage ratings, into a 4 Ohm (nominal) load, which your speakers will present.      According to ... 
Power Amp Question
@bop333       IF your question is how to use your NAD integrated as a preamp only: there should be two links (rectangular, black plastic covered) between the C356's rear PRE OUT 2 and MAIN IN RCA jacks.      Remove those and simply plug a pair o... 
Audio nonsense
                       One man’s mountain, is another’s molehill.                                               Surprised?  
Audio nonsense
     Thank you, djone51, for repeating some the facts I've mentioned*, on this site and it's pages, regarding Science and how is always catching up, with the multitude of phenomena, so often observed, but- frequently: unexplained/inexplicable, by ... 
Hearing/Tinnitus FYI (caveat emptor)
@fuzztone -                                                 Absolutely!      As with anything else, in this life/hobby; the variables are manifold.                                             Everyone reacts to medications differently       ... 
Hearing/Tinnitus FYI (caveat emptor)
      Any chance that, "increased ringing" could be related to, or magnified by, something you've eaten, along with the, "rare occasion" spicy foods?       Food allergies can cause a wide variety of symptoms and prove hard to pinpoint, without a ... 
Hearing/Tinnitus FYI (caveat emptor)
@noromance -                                              Good point!      I have noticed this, as I very often cook with either Reapers or Scorpions: https://hearlifewell.com/spicy-foods-cause-temporary-deafness/#:~:text                      ... 
How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer?
     PCs: Five Zu Mothers (preamp, phono pre, CDP and two tubed main amps), Zu Bok (TT to SDS), two Synergistic Master Couplers (SS subwoofer amp and power purifier/distribution, both direct to AC outlets)      Interconnects: two SR Tesla Apex (m... 
Unity in cable manufacturers?
                              Dittoes: on the, "Noes".  
THE LITTLE BLACK BOX, 399.00 ABSOLUTLY NUTS

Those who seek to deny access to information
@nonoise -                       You mean there can never be any consensus?      I’ve been hanging around this site, for 12 years now, as well as staying abreast of the debates, between the most esteemed theorists of various scientific fields of... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
     The Church of the Naysayer Doctrine (like every other faith-based, religious cult) has as many dopes as it does Popes.      Bring up anything resembling SCIENCE/PHYSICS, dated later than the 1800’s and they become apoplectic, not having the ... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
                                            Once again:      No one can possibly tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.      LIKEWISE: no on...
