Can AVR DC Output at Preamp Outs be Increased?
+1 kijanki!  
Vintage vs New
"There simply was no good wire back then. No power cords, no interconnects, no speaker cables." NONSENSE! 
Vintage vs New
@millercarbon: Stop shilling for Tekton! The B&W 801 Matrix Anniversary is a pedigreed speaker designed by a top-notch engineering team - not by a guy building speakers in his garage! 
Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5?
Most solid state amps and preamps made over the past few decades are sonically transparent and add or subtract nothing from a music signal. Contrary to what the obsessed "golden ear" crowd claims! 
Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5?
The fault is in the type of music you like! Not the amp or speakers! Most of that electronically processed music has a tipped-up top end! Get an equalizer and turn down the treble and boost the bass! Don't waste money on a different amp! There is ... 
AP HQRP KOB WHS LP?
Of the four variants which did the former TAS reviewer prefer? 
Can AVR DC Output at Preamp Outs be Increased?
Stop trying to second guess the engineering team that designed your AVR (Denon, Pioneer, Technics ...). Don't be an I***T! 
Can AVR DC Output at Preamp Outs be Increased?
Why do you want to do this? Only the AVR's speaker outputs need more voltage to drive the five or more speakers in your home theater setup. I assume your AVR already has at least 5 channels rated at 100 watts (28 volts AC) each! That is adequate f...

This is the second stupid thread I have read this morning! The first was by dbefus85! 
An Urgent Hypothetical!
"Maybe I'll give a piece to the first person with a helpful comment...=)" - See my first post above!

The OP is an I***T for starting such a moronic thread!

Print out the list of components on a large sheet of paper. Use large font type. Hang paper list on a wall. Stand back and throw darts at it. Take note of where the darts land and write it down. Do it once for each category.  
Stacking gear no more rack space does it affect sound quality
Contrary to what the obsessed say stacking gear will have no deleterious effect. Why not just buy another rack and rearrange your room to tidy things up?  
Concerned about my cart/pre pairing
The only caveats regarding an SUT is that it must be grounded to the tonearm/TT AND the phono stage/preamp. 2: The IC from the SUT to the phono stage/preamp should be kept as short as possible. This is to avoid high frequency roll-off due to capac... 
Concerned about my cart/pre pairing
There is no advantage to using a high gain stage with a lomc cartridge because all such active stages add noise - something to be avoided! Properly amplified a lomc cartridge has a significantly lower noise floor than any mm or mi cartridge. A tra...
