SS preamps with two XLR inputs and at least four outputs [two of them XLR]
Marantz has several models in a mid-fi category.  I've had the AV7005 and now the AV8801.  They seem to have done well with the (discrete) circuitry.  I'm pushing the signal through a couple Parasounds for stereo and HT listening into some Martin ... 
Which technology is a better match for my Parasound Halo A21?
Thanks, johnto, I would bet that Best Buy's setup wasn't driven by anything close to the Parasounds.  I know the ML's have a narrow sweet spot, and positioning is everything, so,,,,,,,,,,,,

This may be a bit off topic, but does anyone have any experience with the BG Radia 420i’s? I see a pair listed and they kinda caught my eye. 
Which technology is a better match for my Parasound Halo A21?
Thanks, erik. I read a lot about the different loads, and it seemed to me like the Halo could handle most anything, but always nice to hear some confirmation. My speakers are (and would be) placed about 30" from the back wall and several feet from...

Perhaps I should add that I'm going to have to keep the budget under $2k but shopping the used markets. 
Are ferrites effective for cabling?
Alright, geoff, that begs the question is there a way to eliminate hiss from the signal path?  I probably should have started with that question, my apologies. 
Are ferrites effective for cabling?
Thanks everyone for your comments so far, at least the germane ones.  As I suspected is the case with this topic (and most of the others) there is a whirlwind of opinions, both good and bad.  What I am gathering is that there is at least a possibi... 
Are ferrites effective for cabling?
Thanks for the more appropriate answer, but kudos to tooblue's sense of humor ;-)  I have a Tice Signature III(b) so I have the noise from the house eliminated, but I'm wondering about what may creep in through the unavoidable tangle of cords that... 
Looking for a piece to complement my Parasound Halo A21
FTR, I went with another Parasound, this time the 5250.  Pouring out 385 watts per channel into the 4 ohm ML centers and surrounds.  All I can say is wow, what I've been missing.  It's like listening to Pink Floyd- Dark Side the first time it came... 
How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner?
Hey y'all.  I've come across a very nice Tice Signature Power Block IIIb which I could not refuse.  Now, after searching the internet for days, I've found no owner's manual that is available online.  Does anyone out there have an owners manual you...

Thanks, corvette.  Sounds like we have similar tastes.  Is you Emo Gen 3?  I'm curious about the sound of the Class H rail switched power.

And before anyone suggests it, the Halo A51 is currently out of my price range.

Where do I go from here?
Thanks aux. I am sorry I’ve been away, I’ve been enjoying the tunes, surprise, surprise. What are your thought in using the Optical for the sources like Pandora? I have both a TosLink and Digital Coax interconnects in a box I could pull out. I am ...
