LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good?
IMHO, I think it is the difference between the active vs passive LS50. I have the passives and the are fast, transparent and musical with good bass when properly placed and mounted on stands. Powered by SimAudio Moon i3.3 in my second system. The ... 
Clayton or Pass Class A, which one do you prefer and why ?
Neither. For my money I would much rather have an amp from CODA, Accuphase or Luxman. These amps have fantastic class “A” musicality, bass slam and very high quality parts make up. Threshold and Plinius would also be on my short list. Take your ti...

Any Esbjorn Svensson fans?

A black hole went into my Marantz SA-10!
Great advice from “Nonoise”, while you are in there you may want to add some auto sound deadening film to the top and sides. Tap around with your fingers and you will hear where the vibrations are the strongest. I did this several years ago with m...

Stranded vs Solid Copper
I did the same thing a few years ago. Use 12awg solid copper Romex and connect to an unused circuit with 20 amp breaker. By the best breaker you can. Try to use the leg with the fewest appliances and large power draws.
