| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... If you do decide on the 5A's touch base with Richard and have him help you with properly setting them up. You'll love them even if not set up properly, but set up correctly really improves things. Make sure the speakers include the high pass filt... | |

| What brand was better than it is today? No one mentioned Thiel? | |
| Hifiman Ananda Headphone driven with Primaluna HP Integrated To get the best from earphones, get a dedicated headphone amp. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? My speakers, turntable, amp, preamp work best when spiked. Everyone tunes to their preference. | |
