Emphasis on stereo but need a complete solution.
@moverton99 old thread but don’t forget to use the Yammy controls to match the sensitivity levels of your different manufactured speakers. For instance, if the Totems are rated at 89 dB and the Energy center and surrounds are 91db, then increase t... 
NAD Near Future HT Products?
Your NAD T753v3 is not Class D, while the T778 is Class D. I have both an NAD 275BEE (Class A/B) and the newer Class D amplifier, NAD C298. The increased power of the Class D amps are notable. While class D is still "musical" as I have found all ... 
Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend?
@lewm  Is it possible for you simply to admit you made a few innocent but incorrect claims earlier on in this thread? I’m sure you’re a fine person regardless. I only corrected you so as to help others who may be newbies.  
Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend?
@lewm  Mijostyn is correct. The volume is not doubled as you stated. the combined volume will be 21 dB down or double the power, not double the volume.  FYI- check your work before posting something that is incorrect.   
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@vandy357  I was on two year contracts for the past 10 years, bee bopping between one or the other because of price. Capitalism was working. Then about two years ago Comcast and Verizon started colluding with one another and the prices were iden... 
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@vandy357 I had a similar experience with Comast/Xfinity. Used my own Arris Surfboard with their service and never got the speeds they promised - that I was paying for. When I upgraded to a better Arris Surfboard (3.1 DOCSIS) the problems remai... 
Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?
@helomech It doesn’t help that it received a rather scathing review by ASR. That and both ASR and Stereophile measurements reveal the Sphinx falls considerably short of meeting its claimed power spec. Amir at ASR predominately does not listen ... 
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
@emergingsoul  Thanks! No water issues yet but the doors (threshold) needs to be replaced. Not going to be cheap..  
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
I am not using a bi-amp setup. Simply using two sets of speakers with each pair powered by a different amp. They share the same preamp.  That is unlike most others here.. But like others here, I have a separate 2-channel setup from my AV setup, ... 
Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
Since two-channel means two speakers 😀, very few of those in this forum - er, site - have ever wanted for gain control. So as fuzztone states, few folks on this site have a use case. For those of us who utilize four speakers (because the room is ... 
Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?
Could be that the Rogue Sphinx debuted in 2014 and then the V2 was introduced in 2016. Followed by the V3 in 2020.  Hence, there are those that will wait for (how much longer?) for the V4 to come out. I mean, the law of averages is that there sho... 
Ken Fritz article
@emergingsoul  The entire youtube video is Ken talking about him and his system. Numerous times during the video you hear grandfather clock chimes going off. And so the audiophile in me went into critical listening mode wondering if I could hear ...

Oh, this guy!

@tcotruvo  Do you know something about my life that I don't? How am I a hypocrite? The WP columnist, Geoff Edgers, is a superb journalist who frequently writes about music and starred in a documentary called "Do It Again", about his attempt to r... 
Ken Fritz article
@emergingsoul  Ken was not a part of Audiogon because he could not have cared less of what others thought of him.  I tend to believe that most who post here have learned something from interaction with others who have similar interests. If there...
