Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience
If you are going to buy used you'd better understand acoustics and electronics very well. Just buying a good deal and jacking it into your system is a hard way to learn if a piece doesn't fit your space. It sounds like you'd be better off buying n... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
DUNCE TIME. 
To buy grounded or not to buy grounded. That is the question.

Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?

Did a licensed electrician do the connection on your new ac unit? If not, you need to have everything checked. Refrigeration people do not have to be licensed electricians in my experience. Who knows what was diddled on the install.  
DECWARE.....ZTPRE anyone have any expeiriance with one ?
FWIW, I would suggest the OP asking Steve Deckert, the owner of DEC, this question. He is the equipment designer there and I’d be very surprised if he made a mistake as simple as put forth in the above response. REALLY surprised.Read here if you w... 
Dac Technology Mature?
In my experience with any machine, there is little to be gained by chasing the yearly updates. Whether it is a car, a bike, or an amp, there is an improvement but is it enough to warrant switching to the "new model" everytime something gets anothe...
