| Pure analog system with high power Schiit is great budget gear, but not at the same level as Pass. | |
| Streaming an aid to enjoyment My streamer sounds the same as a red book CD, but much of the time my streamer sounds better because it is being fed higher Resolution files from Qubuz... Tidal is good also, just not as many high Rez titles..In this day and age, if your CDs sound... | |
| Speaker cleaning and maintenance Cleaning speakers... OMG, I didn’t think that was a thing. I have not cleaned a speaker in 50 years of owning high end audio. | |
| Pure analog system with high power It will certainly depend on the character of the amp you are looking for. The Mggies like power. Unless you are looking for very warm Pass is an excellent solution (then the Pass XA25). I agree a used Pass x250 is a good choice... I owned a Pass x... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system +1 to. @bkeseke good advice | |
| Anyone else uncomfortable with PayPal’s payment process? Password of bank, never.PayPal has never asked any such thing of me | |
| Power Conditioner vs A/C cables Power management is very site dependent. Depending on the power grid you are on, what your house is like... lots of noisy things in your house. .I wouldn’t look at it as if a power cord is going to make things worst... I would look at it as how mu... | |

| Lithuanian Tube Gear?! I would only buy through a US distributor. Something goes wrong and it can be a nightmare. It might be OK. But do lots of research on the company and people whom have bought from them. Pretty stuff though. | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable I don’t think you will have a problem finding them. Go to the Used cables site. Used cables are a great deal. They generally sell at half price. So your budget would be $2k new... a good category to be in. Six or seven meter interconnects come up ... | |
| B&W or FOCAL center speakers? Stick with Focal. 85% of the content comes from the center channel... you really want the voicing the same on all the speakers or as voices move they will change their character... you really don’t want that. | |
| Where is the weakest link? It depends. It is an unsolvable problem without knowing the components. I have addressed mine starting with digital interconnects, analog interconnects, speaker cables, dedicated line, power cords. But you have to have components of sufficient sen... | |
