Does the Chord TT2 Dac need a linear supply device?
Lps not really needed for tt2, which’s come well prepared for current issues.  If you try one pls share findings.  Spending funds elsewhere. 
Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp?
Love audio research line stage but leaving 8 tubes on all the time when watching tv sucks.  Tube life is 3000 hrs so not meant for a ht system.good news possibly, have heard new arc models are planned to keep tubes off when in bypass mode.  Hope i... 
Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp?
danvignaulike yur comment. I like separates.maybe an integrated system where preamp is blended with the amp serves to achieve something of value in light of all the various components presumably matched a lot better.  So maybe this is a case why s...

Installing new wires in room with hardwood floors
Mahleri have holes in hardwood floor in one room. Works but not ideal. Thought I could do a floor plate but I guess you have to really cut away at floor wood to house everything.  Not ideal.  May just pay up and do a wall socket.  All larger rooms...

Dispersion is a trait not given much attention.  Seems really important for a smaller room.  A pain if sweet spot restricts where you sit. Hate that.  Need a wide open stage.B&w being bright seems to reflect a more accurate portrayal of live p...

So hard to chose.  Maybe do a blend.  Buy SF for left side and BW for right side.  Best of both worlds.   
preamp-how important is separate enclosure for pwr supply?
Pragmasi,thanks. Beyond noise I thought the designers may take on current issues.   Although noise floor measureability seems to be the clear way to judge and if there is no measurable interference then a separate box don’t seem to make sense and ... 
McIntosh c1100 vs audio research ref 6se vs Ayer KX-R
Tough to find a good expl on google.  Important issue.  Thanks for info.  This is why marketing info from sellers needs to improve in explaining low vs high impedance relationships between components.

If you drink while judging spkrs, you’ll like anything including Bose
