| Reasonably priced preamplifier Any Jeff Rowland preamp. Works of art, quiet and quite reasonable in the used market. | |
| Qobuz and Tidal comparison I had Qobuz but cancelled it and went back to tidal. Too many dropouts and software issues. I have very few issues with tidal and they also dropped the price. I’ll stick with tidal. | |

| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Any accuphase amplifier. Especially the class a amps. | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit The electrical engineer went to school and studied electric. I would follow his recommendation. I’m a builder and I recommend the same. 3 dedicated outlets. Pretty cut and dry. | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 You’re looking for a hot tweeter. Look for something with amt or ribbon tweeters. Dynaudio, Harbeth or any British speaker probably not a good fit. I’d look seriously at focal. Maybe even audio vector. Good luck. | |

| DC Offset Issue in Don Sachs Preamp It’s the rectifier tube. Don will tell you tot always power amp down first than preamp. I know because I had the same thing happen on his preamp and he told me it’s completely normal. Pre on first, wait 1 minute, then amp on. Amp off first, then ... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. Simaudio, accuphase or luxman(class a/b). I have both and neither run that hot. I live in Chicago as well. Stay away from pure class A. | |

| Audiogon seller's question I just sold a vintage receiver to a guy via PayPal f and f. He wanted me to send it to a different address, which gave me pause. He sent the money and I called PayPal to see if he pulled a fast one on me by claiming he didn’t get the product, woul... |
