Morgan.If you'll do a quik scan through this thread, you'll be able to find several amps that have been shared along this journey. I know, it's a lot of post to look through. Just go to each page and click on the date at the top of that page and d... 
Upgrading Fuses
My system is very resolving. I and another freind who has a very resolving system both agreed that if we could have listened first, we would have spent the money on music instead.I'm not saying that they don't work, but in the two systems I heard,... 
French Doors
Don't use french doors and use a standard size door. That way you can treat that wall for a better sound. 
Which speaker post to use: 4 ohm or 8 ohm?
Use the 8ohm post for a 6ohm speaker.

Jdoris.I think it might be because it was a insulting post toward the person selling the item. I was disappionted when I saw the post. I had nothing to do with the deletion, but since these posts are regulated, it's easy to see why it was deleted. 
Upgrading Fuses
I've used Hi-Fi tuning fuses in my Almarro amp and my CD player and I almost heard a difference.That's $90 for almost.

System Hum Question
Also try a grounding wire from the pre to the amp.I've also heard that just changing IC's makes these hums go away. Shielded or not. 
using Velodyne sub in 2-channel setup?
The best sound you will get is going from your speaker outputs on the amp to the speaker inputs on the sub.You should use a second set of speaker cables to do this. 
Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES?
I bit the bullet and bought the last pair of new 25th anniversary comete's. I like the Comete so well, I thought I would treat myself with the Gloss burl walnut finnish and an improved cross-over. They should be arriving Fri the 23rd.I never buy n... 
The Audiophile's Wife
Your wife has a great sense of humor. Her great wit seems to be very good.I also think she's a great writer. She's missed her calling if she doesn't write for a living. Give her a thumbs up from me and my wife. For my wife can relate so well. 
how high is the drop test at ups?
I took an Oppo 870 to a UPS drop off for shipment. When the lady took it off of the counter she walked 4 steps and tossed it on the concrete floor without bending over at all. I went off on her stupid ass. Fortunatly the buyers loved it, but the p...
