Which Preamp "internals" would you choose? Based on picture only
Still not sure how this relates to the OPs question.  Are you saying that you can see if a unit uses RHOS solder just by looking at the internal photos?  If so, which preamp uses RHOS solder? 
Amp recommendation and setup advice please
First thought is that I would not worry about buying a sub “for now”. I think it would be better to take that money and put more into a high-current amplifier for the RF-7 tower speakers. The Klipsch speakers are very efficient, which means you do...

@teo_audio - that is all very interesting and education about ROHS solder, but what does it have to do with the OP's question about comparing 4 different preamp internal pictures? 
Component recommendations: best bang for buck.
I would be very careful about listening to vendor opinions.  They do sometimes have their own agenda and they also do not necessarily know exactly what they are talking about.It is possible that the Arcam may be better than the Krell.  I would hes...

Pro-Ject Prebox RS - no linear power supply (unless you buy the additional external linear power supply for more money). Potentiometer volume control.rogue RP-1 - very good linear power supply with good capacitance bank. I’m going to assume it use... 
Picking an amplifier
Out of your choices, the Outlaw is the highest current, largest power supply amp.  It's really hefty coming in at 90 lbs with a large shared power supply.  The Parasound is the newest (but not by far).  The McCormack may be the best sound quality ... 
Component recommendations: best bang for buck.
I would say that it is up to you on whether HDR is more important or if sonic signature / sound quality is more important.  These are definitely factors that will affect your decision.I did take a quick look at NAD.  They have a good "generic plat... 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
@kosst_amojan@geoffkait The more I read posts, the more I see that you both like to flame discussions. If that is what you both want to do, there’s nobody here that will prevent you (unless forum administrators jump in).However, please keep in min... 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
I may have to try one of these BLUE fuses sometime in my source equipment.  Maybe next year because I already have too much stuff on my project list for now.That being said, there are several good points mentioned here on both sides.  The fuse is ... 
Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
I have also experienced differences between digial COAX cables.  I will agree that the Blue Jeans / Beldon 1694A makes an excellent COAX cable --for the money-- (like janehamble said).  I'm sure there are better (based on other posting), but for $... 
Sound correction in small room
At 11:57 of this youtube review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqgWHPv26L0 “A lot of people are going to look at this speaker and ignore the fact that the midrange is being handled by two 6” woofers and a tweeter array… and what that means is... 
Is it possible to connect analogue radio to oppo
Since nobody responded, I'll do it.  The Oppo 105 does not have any sort of analog inputs.  It does have digital inputs.  So, if you really want to hook up your analog tuner to the Oppo, you will need some sort of "analog-to-ditial" converter.  Yo... 
Buzzing just won't quit: Can someone please help?
Uhm, unplug everything, then connect your speakers to the AVR to see if the AVR has the same problem.  I'm wondering if it could be a switching power supply somewhere on this same circuit (or something like florescent/led lighting on the same circ... 
Sound correction in small room
Thinking about this further, the very low bass is always hard and expensive to treat.  The general broadband panels (even if they are very thick) are only average at absorbing the bass.  However, if you know the target frequency, you can get an ef... 
Sound correction in small room
You are correct in your understanding of what "room nodes" are.  I do not understand the math behind room nodes either, but the amroc page was really intended to show you what the "node frequencies" are and where they are the loudest (most pressur...
