| Bow Technologies Amplifier's XLR inputs - jackpot question, help needed thanks. Just off the top of my head, you can have it work both ways but one way would be out of phase. | |
| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? Most plating systems are a base metal, a copper flash, then the finish plating. Silver is a better conductor than gold but silver corrodes over time and the silver can be worn off more quickly. It's a trade off, not sure if one is better than the ... | |
| Connecting Yamaha HS7 Studiomonitors to Marantz PM7000 Preamp? I could not find a preamp variable output on the Marantz PM7000 integrated amp nor could I find a Marantz PM7000 preamp. | |
| Majority Of Your Listening Is Online Streaming Service, Do You Buy CD's Or Vinyl Any More? I learned years ago not to depend on computers for stuff you want to save long term, I still buy and use CDs. Nothing better than the source file. Back in the day guys saved 78s. I'm thinking they were right. | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? Klipsch is a top selling brand if not THE top selling brand. What models are considered the top end of audio, I'll leave to someone else. | |
| Ceiling fan in listening room? Ceiling fans are great for organ music, works just like a Leslie. | |

| Recommendations Wanted Triangle Esprit Australe EZ if you can find a pair. They love tubes and are masters of 3D sound. | |
| Adcom GFP-555 II Try some tuner spray. | |

| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Out of your list, I would go for the Volti Razz. Me too. | |
| When to Amp it Up? If it was me I'd be looking at a loudspeaker upgrade, your current amps can serve you one more upgrade. I'm curious about what preamp you are using? | |
| Thin, Flexible & Inexpensive Speaker Cables? It's hard to recommend without knowing where you want the sound of your system to go but for budget cables Audio Quest Type 4 or the cheaper Kimbers. | |
| Help with McIntosh Repair Facility I switched the left and right XLR inputs at the amp and the meters are reading the same now. I'm wondering if your problem is upstream. You said you didn't want the left and right channels switched but you can switch the source and get back to... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? Anything more expensive than that will only be incrementally better, and logarithmically more expensive. Having owned Grado60s and LS-50s, I can tell you there is an audio world out there that is a quantum leap past that level of gear. But I do... |
