| Preamplifier Recommendation for Innersound Eros Speakers I had the Innersound passive stats for years,powered by Bryston with an Audio Research LS15 tube pre.My opinion,a tube pre simply fleshes out the music.Heat generation and maintenance not an issue. | |

| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? Directionality in a power cord,that's fake news folks. | |
| Anyone else having issues with the Ayon CD-07s transport? The transport failure issue is not unique to the 07,it can be found in all of the earlier models.Knowing a transport replacement would be north of $900 I was so paranoid the transport would fail on my 5s I sold it.Somethings are just not worth the... | |
