| Newbie Power Amp HELP! (BAT) VK200 Power Amp That is an excellent price for a VK200. I prefer BAT over Bryston but it’s my personal taste. The BAT only accepts balanced cables from the preamp. If you don’t use balanced cables, you will need XLR to RCA adapters. | |
| Accuphase vs Esoteric @jjss49 +1. I have an Esoteric SACD player and love it, so I thought why not try one of their integrated amps. It was cold and sterile and I couldn’t get it out of my house fast enough. Back to the dealer it went. | |

| Integrated Amp ca $2000 with streaming, DAC, phono stage What about used? You can get a used Parasound Halo integrated for under 2K. | |

Why would you even think of the PS Audio, for one no one has heard the speakers and two, they a... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES This conversation makes me happy I only have single wired speakers. | |
| RIP oregonpapa I had a few conversations with Oregon Papa and he gave me such a wealth of knowledge over a few weeks. Rest In Peace Frank, we are missing you already. |
