Well, my McIntosh integrated has four knobs, so there. 
Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers?
80% of the Triton 1 speakers.  That leaves 20% which is the most important.  
ESOTERIC K-07X VS Mcintosh MCD 550 Which is better ?
@mattmiller I beg to differ with you. The MCD301 replaced an Esoteric DV50 and it blows it away. It isn’t nearly as good as my Esoteric UX-3 but the UX-3 was 8500.00 The MCD301 was the second model up in the line with the 201 being the entry level... 
Power Cables: Shunyata, Morrow, and Wireworld
I have used the Venom HC and it is an excellent cord.  I am using Shunyata Copperheads for my Shunyata Hydras and amp and pre and Diamondbacks for the rest of system.  Audio Art also makes excellent cables at good prices.  He made me a couple of c... 
Shunyata Anaconda CX power cord - Ok to use on 240 VAC?
I would wait to hear from them directly.  Gabriel usually answers within a day or two.  Doubtful many of us here could answer your question with absolute certainty.  Although George or Almarg would probably know. 
Quick question about a speaker upgrade
I certainly wouldn't call the Harbeth 40.2 analytical. 
Whats playing on your system today?
Today was a blast from the past!  The Doors "LA Woman" and Deep Purple "Machine Head" 
Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh

Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh
I would suspect it's either the Halo integrated or cables.  I always thought the Halo was bright when I had it in my system. 
speakers with balls
My GE Triton 1 and GE Triton Reference are used 95% for Rock and I am extremely satisfied with them.   
PS Audio or Ayre?
I am wondering why I am constantly seeing the BHK amp and preamp for sale on Audiogon?  I am not talking about the dealers selling them, I am talking about actual owners.  If they are that good and I don't doubt it, why always for sale? 
Can anyone who has heard Raidho X-1s and Harbeth M30.1s discuss the sound?
I concur with The Audio Doctor, couldn't have said it better myself. 
Which is Better Rotel RCD-1570 or RCD-1572

@lalitk You need to chill.   He was only making a joke, just like I was when I said you need your own nuclear power plant to operate them.   Personally, I will quietly stick with my McIntosh at about 2% of the price of his amp.  No one was bashing...
