| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? First pair were Dalquist DQ-10, which were the staple for 10+ years. Then to Heresy II which were out the door in less than 2 years. At that point I met Richard Shahinian and heard the Obelisk. Owned several starting with older models and ending... | |

| My amp is toast I really like the amp over others I have and have had. It is nice to have the power even if it rarely tapped. Although, I am growing to like my Perreaux 3150 that is currently standing in for it and doing a much better job that a Bedini I had also... | |

| I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary? No, I know home system is fine, I have two isolated 20a runs for the system. By low, I am taking about only 114-116vac. I have understood that the re-generators are capable of of making up short term voltage drops to keep input vac stable | |
| I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary? I have Furman units (model unknown) but notice that the readout sometimes goes into a low voltage situation, which it is unable to regulate. Have been seriously considering a PS regenerator unit, PS P10 (at least somewhat affordable since the P20 ... | |

| Old Amp vs. New Amp My last 'new' amp was back in the 90's, a Perreaux 3150 and other than a power switch is still operational, but currently retired. Everything after that has been picked up off the used market.Bedini 100/100, a ML 23.5 and a ML 333 that was just re... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? Having two ARC pre in two different systems, one bought new (17es) and one bought used (LS 27) but with only 200 hours on it when I received it, both with factory papers and both showed a recommended 600 hour break-in.While the LS 17 does not have... | |
| Need DAC that can.... PS Audio NuWave DSD does not seem to have an ethernet connection, checked. Used route is under consideration, but they are far and few... Would have thought by this point there would be a larger number of DAC's that would be able to be networked | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? Well, I can offer an opinion of sorts. Having run all SS for years (Classe, Perreaux), eventually moving away from HiFi for a bit. Upon returning several years later, also started to experiment with adding a tube pre. First, a Quicksilver inserted... | |
| FLAC vs WAV As a relative newbie in digital world, I recently elected to rip my cd collection to have access to everything without going through hundreds of cd's. Using dB I started ripping at first in the flac default 5 compression. Playing back through my M... | |
