Amplifier suggestions please
So yeah, I was in that missive about as un-biased as anyone ever is.  It was simply honest. 
Amplifier suggestions please
Well, I never claimed to be, "Unbiased", Hee hee. No-one truly can be! But you cannot tell me that a, "Threshold", "T-100", amp wouldn't be a nice fit! ANY Threshold amp would be really...."IMHO", I've yet to run into one that was not nice. And me... 
Amplifier suggestions please
Why are you so apparently, "Stuck" on a, "Balanced Only", set-up in your rig? I kind of get "get-it", as I went through what I shall a, "Phase" doing basically the same thing at one point! But that was years ago and I got over it as nearly all of ... 
Preliminary DIY Grounding Box Result
There is a "Box" from England that has a circuit which "fools" shortwave radio EQ into working as grounded when in fact there  is "No" actual ground. Developed for enhancing the signal quality available to people relegated in that hobby to "Odd" s... 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
"Rotel", IMHO is not really in the same (class) as the "Pass Labs", or "First Watt", amplifiers, which is Mr. Nelson Pass other company. I still have eight or nine of them "The Rotel's", as they do have their uses. But there is simply a huge diffe... 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
The "Nelson Pass", designed amplifiers I have tried. "And I believe that I have tried most if not all of them" at this point, Are not "Just a cut" above other SS amplifiers out there. They are WAY above the others. Even the old "Denon" mono-blocks... 
Never Owned a Tube Amp and Want Advice
Ok, All I can do is recommend the tube amps that, "I", personally enjoy. Like everything else this is WAY subjective. And the speakers will show the amps differently as well.But there is more to those which I like than just the sound. And the tube... 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
I learned to listen and heed the words of certain individuals here on "Audiogon", a good while ago. With, "Al", of course, being one of those few whom I always looked to further my knowledge about audio and related subjects. Many come here to "Aud... 
Want to setup basic home audio system
I can throw in a "mic", It's basic but will work for room correction."Just do not attempt a new, world class recording of say, (Blackbird)!" Yeah, like "Mesch" say's- Make your own panels. Which isn't only much more affordable but also easier to g... 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
Who am I kidding?Amazing! It just shows what one can do , "When", one put's their mind to it!!Especially when "And as he said", "Size, cost and time became, No-Object"! "The future is NOW"!My current viewpoint as well. The day's shall indeed, come... 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
"TWO", Grandfather clocks? Two in the same room?!Now that is just too over the top for me! Crazy!He does have a rather nice stereo system though. I wonder if he's ever tried "tubes", in that system? It sounds as if he has not. 
Want to setup basic home audio system
So, I guess the, "OP" is the recipient of my, "Good Deed" for the week. I'll throw some nice cabling, "IMHO" in as well. Uh oh, I didn't just legally adopt this fellow did I?Those "Golden Ear, Triton's" mentioned above are a nice speaker. Does any...
