| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? When your why do people always think the power cord is the last 6 feet? If your amp draws the current wouldn't it technically be the first 6 feet? After all if your amp is plugged in and not powered on how much current is on the 15 or 20 amp circu... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear I don't know how the tubes in your BHK300 can only last a year, did you test them before replacement. They should last a good long time in an input stage. | |
| Tube or solid state Solid state also has higher harmonic distortion that can be heard even at lower levels and is not pleasant to the ear, tubes have lower harmonic distortion which is pleasant to the ear and masks the higher order harmonics. I used to think the same... | |
| Tube or solid state If it sounds closer to the real thing than transistor amps then it doesn't matter what wave you measure. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Linlai does the same thing with the elite 6sl7 with the global and eastern tubes, they look like the same tube also. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes The only two advantages I see in buying the global elite tubes instead of the elite tubes directly from China is they might be better matched and if you receive a bad tube you don't have to ship it back to China for a replacement. The whole tube m... | |

He had to use the power outlets from two hotel rooms because the breaker kept tripping at an audio show. Too bad he doesn't bu... | |

| What is the highest quality digital music file? Where can I get it? The bluesound sounds way better with a good dac. My node 2 sounded okay with the analog outputs but it was lacking details air and speed, I added a tube dac into the mix now it's so much better. I also noticed that if I tried using the node 2's to... | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass The old Polk audio SDA line put out some really good low bass if you properly powered them. They also have decent sound quality with upgraded tweeters and crossovers. | |
| Used Bryston 7b-SST or Emotive XPA-DR1 It's definitely not a hard decision, go for the Bryston if the emotiva breaks it's not worth fixing. Bryston is quite reasonable if you need service on the amp later, plus the build quality is a lot better than emotiva. |
