| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching For years I drove Proac Response 2.5's with a Cary CAD-301, a rare SE triode 300B beast putting out a max rated 14W. See the Stereophile impedance plot of the 2.5s, definitely an 8ohm speaker. Definitely plenty loud enough when required. Reinfo... | |

| Atohm GT1 SE vs KEF LS50 I'm very surprised they're not more popularAll a question of very limited distribution in the U.S. Look at how many dealers there are nation-wide. | |
| Blue Circle 022i / Blue Circle 002i + EPS power supply Anyone? | |
| recommendation for a 10 gauge power cable for a power conditioner. I tried one of the wide-girth Pangea cords (forget which awg, the big one). It was so heavy it pulled itself out of the connector socket on the back of the unit, even though it was pretty close to the floor. Everything needs to fit very snugly t... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me? The one possible concern seems to be QC and reliability with PL. While the great majority of owners report no problems whatsoever, there are some others who've had to return theirs for repair more than once. Whether this percentage is above or b... | |
| Atohm GT1 SE vs KEF LS50 Atohm is a real sleeper brand that would benefit from much wider distribution in the U.S. | |

| Experimenting with Speaker Room Placement Broadly speaking, the further you pull the speakers out from the front wall, the deeper the soundstage. My room is 14'8" x 16'6". Speakers set up on long wall. A full 3' from the back of the cabinet to the wall behind. Excellent depth. If you... | |
| Classic Over-reaction! KellyAnn Conway knows what she's talking about. Unplug the toaster permanently. But be careful to approach it from its blind side, so it can't see you going for the wall socket. | |
| Oyaide Cables There's a difference between a minimum safe requirement, and what's recommended. This guy says minimum 14awg for 15amps.https://www.thespruce.com/matching-wire-size-to-circuit-amperage-1152865 But many cable companies use 10awg for power amps or ... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? Are we talking about Arnie? Arnie owned a bricks and mortar shop in Ann Arbor, Accutronics, high end upstairs, used in the basement. He started selling more and more stuff on ebay. Audio selling on ebay was the model that, as I understood it, h... | |
| First Watt vs McIntosh vs Ampzilla Given that you have those Zu speakers, First Watt is definitely the way to go. | |
| Best tubes for my mc 275 Gordon gow If you don't want to venture down the deep dark rabbit hole that is NOS, Genelex Gold Lion is I think definitely the way to go. | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? The flaw in the logic here is the expensive power conditioner. They can definitely improve some things, but cannot eliminate all the variations provided by your local friendly (?) utilities company. Beyond changes in your own metabolism/mood, th... |
