| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @stereo5 Unquestionably, the editor at Stereophile can "do what he likes" with the forum he closely moderates.

| A Budget Amp Comparison @ snapscBack on track.... If used amps are a part of the mix, I would like to offer my recent experience with a Crown K2. I've read about these for years and while they are long since out of production, there are plenty that show up on Ebay (K1 an... | |
| A Budget Amp Comparison @ loomisMichael has been cordial and certainly is entitled to express his views. Unfortunately, the nature of his post wasn't to talk about the subject of the thread - budget amps - but a budget receiver that was made for one year back in 2012. Br... |
