| Too Much Power Beyond a certain level, maximum power output (taken by itself) is not a very useful measure. Even prior to the class D era, there were plenty of power amplifiers used in pro audio that had hundreds of watts output, were comparatively cheap, and so... | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers I'm not sure of the price in dollars, Bowers and Wilkins 802 D4s work well in large rooms. | |
| How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp? If its a $6k pre, an add in DAC probably adds around $1K to the retail price - that's very much a ballpark estimate. However, the critical point is that unless you need dac / streaming functionality, then you are better spending your money on a p... | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? I'm not sure exactly what the US dollar pricing is as I'm in Europe, but a Pass XP 12 should be close to your budget. It will be a lot more transparent than your DR 5. | |

| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? If you banned "audiphile deniers" where would you draw the line - and who would be tasked to come up with the categories of denial to allow that line to be drawn? BTW, if I deny that I am an audiophile, does that make me an audiophile denier? | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? Alphabetically by band name or artist surname and for classical by composer's name. There always some "migration" which keeps a bit of a random element in choosing what to listen to. | |

| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... You have an excellent choice from the brands you have mentioned. But you really need to look at your overall budget for the turntable, arm and cartridge as you can expect to pay close to the price of the turntable itself for a really good arm and ... | |

| No love for Legacy Audio Both TAS and Stereophile have reviewed speakers from Legacy - positively. |
