RCA Shorting Plugs vs Caps non-shorting ?
I've had subtle improvements using RCA shorting plugs on unused audio inputs. But rather poor results in some, but not all unused video inputs. Maybe the video problems occurred because adjacent non-RCA (S video/component) inputs for the same vide... 
Pass labs xa30.8 vs Krell evo 402e
Sort of like comparing a boulevard cruiser to a muscle car?I can't say from experience, but it appears as though your speakers are bit insensitive. As such the more powerful Krell (yes, I know the xa30.8 has much more headroom than might appear at... 
Repair or mod CJ PV-12?
"...another nebulous term, accuracy...". Hmmm, interesting choice of words. 
Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence?
^sensitivity 91 dB, 4 Ohm nominal. 
Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence?
Djfst, I do believe your original question has been answered. Without knowing the minimum impedance and phase angle of your speakers, as well as the dimensions, etc. of your listening room and volume levels you hope to achieve, it's problematic t... 
Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence?
Czarivey, your insensitivity is only exceeded by your ignorance. 
How important is the amp?
^Interesting link. Thanks. 
Recent sound deterioration shrillness, ringing
First, it would appear that all of the above is much more important than what I am about offer; some have claimed using a simple zobel network on the speaker cable posts have alleviated the negative descriptions you have outlined. 
Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence?
I think bass response with either tubes or ss, might depend more on how the speakers used with them handle damping. With that said; in my experience, dynamic speakers with lower impedance numbers mated with ss amps that can double down typically h... 
Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence?
It might actually be true that: "...a 70 Watt tube amp provides more power than a 140 Watt solid stat amp." if used on speakers with an impedance of over 16 Ohms.But, selecting an amp involves more than just this issue, there are other variables t... 
Overshadowed by bandmates
Perhaps not better, or even as good, but; I've always thought Leo Lyons of Ten Years After was overshadowed by bandmate Alvin Lee. 
Is DEQX a game changer?
^Thanks for the prompt response. It appears as though your going to be a rather busy audiophile. Best of luck with all the new toys. 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Al, any updates? 
Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units
Is there a new Oppo 4K/HDR unit on the horizon? 
Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver
Not sure if they would work for the OP, but Cabasse has an ah hem interesting twist on this idea.
