| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? How does anyone hear "power" from an amp or anything else? Volume, sure. power, not in the least. | |
| Speaker or amplifer If you already like your speakers, then get the amp. Speakers always make a bigger difference than an amp. | |
| Question about Break in of Weiss DAC 204 Break in of audio components is a myth. Full stop. | |
| Enough of the Stereophile futuristic statements about the Focal Diva Utopia Noted. | |
| AC Power Your nephew knows of what he speaks and until there is objective proof, save your money. | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers You won't notice any objective difference with bi-wiring or replacing the jumpers. Why would a long time, reputable company supply "junk" with their products? That seriously fails the common sense test. | |

| Has anyone tried these SnugPlugs? I would want to know how they change the sound before I decided on using them. | |
