How good is the McIntosh MC-2300 vs modern SS amplifiers?
This article is off topic. But, it’s a fun read about Owsley and the Dead’s introduction to good sound - and parallel universes. Below is a short excerpt."At the time, live sound at rock concerts was extremely primitive. Musicians plugged their in... 
Aurender N10 - Sound quality performance is erratic
Glad to hear that all is well again. I don’t use an Aurender. According to these directions, it says to update the Conductor app when available. Make sure that the settings are on HiFi.  
Aurender N10 - Sound quality performance is erratic
OP:   Are you talking about streaming SQ for Tidal?   Whenever Tidal has updates, the streaming settings for your personal account need to be re-set.  Have you checked them lately?  
How Harmonic Technology has fallen.........
So if Apple does it, it must be OK? Rolls Royce has only a 4 year warranty. $400k doesn’t get you much nowadays.

"This cable was very very old model maybe 10 years . We changed all the specification and the previous ownership didn’t leave any information to us. We don’t have the part and our engineer can not guarantee to repair it. Beside, our repair departm...

Snake River Audio Boomslang.    Ask Jonny if he has any show demos available. 
Buying large audio equipment
If the item ships from the manufacturer - or the Amazon warehouse, then all should be ok.   If it ships from a private party, I’d pass - unless they prove that they have the original packing materials.  Double-boxing is a good thing.  There are ma... 
best preamps
Highly recommend this Audio Horizons TP2.3.   I love mine. 
Corelli - really????
I added a Corelli to my system about a month ago. Very impressive!  I'm surprised by how very sensitive it is to power cords.  It's almost like changing the power cord on a source component. The DIY Harmonizer might be next. 
Astron & older LPS’s
" . . . having available amps in excess of the device's design spec won't hurt anything. "Correct!   The device draws only as much amperage as it needs. On the other hand, the voltage must be accurate for the component to function properly.

Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ?
I had a pair of AZ Adagio Jrs with quality powered subs. With my 50w/ch p/p Class A tube monoblocks, strings were a bit too lush for my likes. With a 100w/ch Class A solid state amp, the presentation became significantly livelier - with better dec... 
A certain online retailer asked me for a review of Pangea power cords..
@inna Over the years, I’ve read way too many posts by cable naysayers who are also relative newcomers to:AudiogoN ™ The high-end audio community After an intense flurry of activity on the discussion boards, they disappear again into cyber-space. I... 
Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre
4. Bass weight and extension enough to not require a sub. Good luck with #4. Stand-mounts with decent bass extension are far and few between - especially for your size room.  At your price-point, I’d suggest auditioning the TAD ME-1. I heard them...
