Best way to wirelessly transmit audio within house
Thank you - I ordered a pair. 
High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older
If you can still discern the difference between a live performance and recorded one, I think you have lots of fun ahead of you. It's more than just frequency response. 
Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall
Never heard the Vandy's but spent many hours with an amazing sound from Cornwalls, as owned by a friend, driving them with - of all things - a receiver. One or two clicks down on mids, one up on highs and magic!!! I heard these same speakers (afte... 
Class D amps,bang for your buck ones
H20, NuForce and the latest Bel Cantos all should be considered. 
Need Help Choosing a Tube Preamp for a Classe Amp
I am using a ARC LS5 MKIII which has been modded by Great Northern Sound... good combo! 
NuForce Power Conditioner
I had mine on Audience aR1ps... sounded good, but I suspect a lot has to do with the nature of your power out of the wall. 
Watt Puppy 7 needs new or used Amp and Pre-amp
Tube pre - ARC LS5 MK II or III or LS26 - Amp - NuForce 9SE V2 or Classe CA-2100 
ARC LS2 versus B.A.T. VK-3i
I don't know the BAT but I had an LS2BMKII and can ASSURE you there are preamps out there these days which will give you a LOT more definition, air, and... music.Happy hunting.I ended up with the LS5MKIII which I've since had modified by GNS.Bob Wood 
Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them
LS5MKIII modded to ref level By GNSC 
Class-D amps - a different re view
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is silly. Even a casual read about Class D amps will make it obvious it's all about system synergy. There are so many variables!Maybe I just happened to get it right. I'll bet if someone invented truly perfec... 
Not Another NuForce thread......
NuForce bested my ARC VT100MKII hands down. An immediate knockout. 
Whose got best class D at this point?
Don't know who's best, but I prefer NuForce 9.02SEs to my old ARC VT100MKII - which sounded compressed by comparison. I prefer the dynamics and taut bass, smooth highs, nice mids of the NuForce. I have auditioned several other class D amps and the... 
1080p an issue for now?

ARC VT100MkII
Check out their site. Not really digital - I think analogue switched digitally.As they say: "The Reference 9 SE incorporates an improved power supply board with a low-ESR capacitor bank. Further enhancements include a separate switching power supp... 
ARC VT100MkII
Hot, but it vents nicely.Fan wasn't noisy to me, but I had it on a separate circuit so I could use the PP (see below) and likely had it running a little slower than stock.Retubing a pain.Sound quite good, though somewhat less dynamic than I'd like...
