++thanks Almarg! 
Diffusion vs. Sound Absorption views
I will repeat my warning and caution about using QRD quadratic diffusors.  snapsc had a point about diffusors " out of phase wave interfering with the sound".  The QRD diffusors can definitely cause problems here if they are placed in certain spot...

Paragraph line spacing test
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, dude?!?!  That's why I use the "----" in many of my messages to separate paragraphs.  Funny, I never realized it's because I switched to Firefox.  After Youtube stopped supporting old version of IE, I had to find an alternat... 
Diffusion vs. Sound Absorption views
Agreed, in my experience both absorption AND diffusion was needed.  However, I would look at people who have specific experience with open baffle speakers.  You can try use diffussion panels behind the speaker, but make sure they are generic diffu... 
Is Audiogon search working since 5/15/19?
AUDIOGON ADMINS:I honestly think they should completely back out any of these new "search" changes. Based on behavior, it seems like they are attempting to add in some sort of "similar results" logic to boost additional ad potential. However, it i... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
Auxinput, just out of curiosity which speakers did you hear the Pass Labs with?  I have always been curious on Pass Labs but have been steered away since my speakers tend to be on the warmer side. Oh jeez, I don't remember.  It was at RMAF.  T... 
Ordered my new amp today... been a long road!
Oh, in addition to Parasound JC1s, I tried Bryston 7B3 monobocks.  Those were not actually bad, but way to fast/thin sounding.  They could not keep up with either the JC1 or Emotiva in body and bass.I tried some Classe M300 monoblocks.  All the so... 
Ordered my new amp today... been a long road!
@jetter - sorry, I can't remember writing that and I had so many different fuse combinations in my Parasound equipment that it was possible I was getting confused.  The Parasound is definitely not the fastest amp.  When using stock fuses, I think ... 
Ordered my new amp today... been a long road!
@audiomaze - I have read that the Parasound amps take a very long time to burn in (like 400-600 hours sometimes.  Some people say 1200 hours on the JC1)}.  That being said, my own experience with A21 and JC1 amps were the same as yours.  The amps ... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
wow, that's pretty amazing.  This really proves that the best amp comes down to personal preference on sound!  Because, while I have heard the Pass and it's an excellent and very refined sounding warm amp, it would not be my preference because it'... 
How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
I don't think the amount of volume is going to make any significant amount of difference.  I have burned in many cables, including speaker, at just low to moderate volumes.  Consider this.  Digital type cables (including spdif and hdmi) will typic... 
Frequency response + or - 1 dB ??
The actual recorded frequency response of any given speaker may actually be higher than +/- 1 dB.  In all honesty, a 1-2 dB variance is really nothing at all when you are looking at radically different speakers.  A single driver could have up to a... 
Marantz AV8003 Processor
I suspect that this has to do with HDMI hand-shaking and display determination.  Whenever the source (i.e. bluray / satellite) is connected, it sends a display question all the way through the HDMI cable chain.  The display/TV then reports back it... 
Furutech fuse
@geoffkait  - I think he was really talking about the folks at Synergistic Research.  And no, they don't reveal what they use in the fuse.  All they do is say "this fuse is so great it rocks!!".  However, I did go to the Synergistic room at RMAF (...
