Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s?
Anthem 225 will work good but they are getting a bit old and hard to find. If you do I'd have it gone over by a good tech. 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
Although Class D is the first amplifier topology that theoretically offers completely linear operation with 0% distortion and no power loss at 100% power efficiency, the commercialization of Class D audio amplifiers had to wait until the ‘90s when...

Need Female BNC to Male RCA 90 degree adaptor...?
You could get a cable with RCA on one end and BNC on the other or get a RCA right angle and a straight BNC to RCA adapter.

The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
I wonder why anyone thinks because humans have biases they're somehow deluded?  I imagine if I heard a Stradivarius I would consider it superior then if heard it compared with other violins in a blind test but didn't pick the Stradivarius I wouldn... 
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
I wonder why those who denigrate testing for biases seem to think the outcome of such tests will support the position of "measurementists"? Why is it everytime a simple psychological test on bias is reported in an article or paper or book some fee... 
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
What's saddest of all is not accepting Fritz when he acknowledges how his bias influences him.If you know it’s a Strad, you will hear it differently," Fritz says. "And you can’t turn off that effect." I'm not locked in a mindset I simply took Frit... 
Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs?
You're looking at the wrong monitors. You're right a 1in and 6.5in won't compete without a subwoofer. Instead look at a 1in tweeter - 8in mid - 8in X 2. Woofer. https://dutchdutch.com/8c/ 
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
What's sad is how some people either refuse  or can't seem to grasp how biases influence human behavior. The violin test was just an example of how these biases affect each of us no matter how well we think we're immune. At least" Fritz" understoo... 
Audiophiles & Snake Oil!
Poor Hans just learning about the circle of confusion. Floyd Toole wrote about it some 20 years ago?  
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
It's just an example of expectation bias. It's not like it isn't a common human condition.  
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
A lot of these so called true audiophiles think fuses, wires and speakers that have a FR that looks like the snake river provide the best listening experience. Give me a pair of Genelec the ones set up right and you can have a wider sweet spot tha... 
Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube?
For that tube glow. No matter the topology any amp can be made to not impart a sonic signature in other words the distortion is low enough not to color the sound.  I would guess that's the case here.
