Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
Due to the influence if the "me too" movement, I can't support a product line named T&A. 
The Future of Audio Amplification
Efficient speakers with small single ended tube amps don't require much juice, and for my money sound more like music. Many with all SS gear leave it on all the time thus actually wasting juice, and I assume most tubers don't, unless by accident l... 
Skeptic or just plain hard headed
There simply is no room for new ideas. However, is there a reverse break in CD or something that can return a cable to a less broken in state? I want a re-start. Fresh gear...I want fresh... 
Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300?
Cambridge DacMagic with an outboard regulated power supply to replace the wall wart. This can contribute to a more wart free experience. 
The Future of Audio Amplification
Tube preamp, tube power amp, tube guitar amps, tube paper towel innards, if innards is what those are called. 
Phase Linear 3500
Those are great if you're planning an authentic Loggin's and Messina reunion show. In the early days they toured with 16 Altec A7s. 
Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs
Immediately buy a Rogers EHF 100 MK2 tube integrated, an amp so good it renders all other suggestions worthless, thus saving you some time.  And please, enough with all these posts! 
The Future of Audio Amplification
I recently heard the Julian Lage trio at the Berklee Performance Center from a 5th row center section aisle seat. A Class D 8 boxes per side "Phased array" above me...sounded great. I did a show with his trio a couple of years ago using a Class A/... 
Preamp advice needed.
On a budget? Look no further than the brilliant Schiit Freya...I’ve had one for a year, rolled and continue to roll interesting tubes through it (for fun), and it sounds spectacular. You could, of course, look at comparable preamps (comparing feat... 
Which SR Blue or black Fuse
Remove all the screws from your gear, and replace them with titanium versions. Your gear will sound that same, but it will be slightly lighter, possibly resulting in the .0000023% sonic improvement attributed to fuse direction. I did say "possibly... 
Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators?
I have never made a port noise complaint. 
What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
Garebear...in the future (whenever THAT is...wait...it's now...or NOW...) I will refrain from any humor, sarcasm, or silliness when responding to anything from you as clearly you're humorless, and that's fine although that sort of response chews t... 
Skeptic or just plain hard headed
I exchanged (some, not all) of my older design Morrow cables for the newer design ones, and they sounded fine right away...It could very well be that later they sounded better, and in fact I think they do, but although I don't think cables should ... 
Could I be a Retail Wretch?
Salespeople have to earn your business...if they don't really give a crap about your audio needs and don't listen to you, then who cares about them? I walk into some local places and from maybe mentioning interest in a turntable get immediately hi... 
What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
Garebear...which point? The one where I said I hate bad live shows? The Russell Malone guitar pick thing? Brian Wilson and Dylan are different people? I get that my ultra cerebral and detailed posts can provide comprehension challenges for some, a...
