The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt

Johnnyb53I have also been really happy to read this thread - thank you.I continue to enjoy my Behringer amps for my desktop applications, but was very intrigued to read about the Art amps, and happy to see that Parts Express carries them as in my ... 
Amp burn in time..just being on or music played?
You ask a perfectly logical question, but actually burn in time is not a function of either variable.No, the correct burn in time is the minimum amount of time it takes to exceed your ability to return a component to the dealer if you decide you d... 
Connecting my laptop to my home audio...

The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
I'm with Crem1 - I continue to use an A500 on my desktop at the office, and a pair of A500 as monoblocks on my desk at home.I NEVER turn them off, even through bad weather and thunderstorms, and I have never had a problem - they don't even get hot... 
Just the musings of an audiophile
From the Latin philus or the Greek philos, I thought an "audiophile" was someone who loved or had a strong affinity for the reproduction of sound through audio technology.I do not see how this would require a devotion to or an acceptance of any pa... 
Latest News in Capturing Video to Hard Drives?
Tabl10sThank you - that might actually be the perfect solution and one that did not occur to me.Can you recommend a good DVD recorder? And I assume S-video out + audio from a digital camcorder should go straight in with no problem?Then, yes, it wo... 
studio equipment that makes it into home hifi
I agree, and I have been delighted using both ATC speakers and Behringer gear.At some point, however, this thread will no doubt prompt a rash of complaints disclosing reliability issues, ear bleeding distortion, fire hazards, and the ruin of the U... 
LCD TV - Are they reliable ?
Can anyone please confirm that there should be no major worries purchasing the latest generation, direct view LCD TVs? Or comment please whether plasmas enjoy any edge in reliability to the latest generation, direct view LCD TVs?I recently bought ...

"Audiophile" Printer - But Interfering with AC?
So the bad news is when I am printing it might continue to disrupt my DAC and preamp?But the good news is that standby mode shouldn't give me a $200 a month electrical bill?Xtil6I would like to add a sub panel and dedicated line etc to this room b... 
Received my Wadia i170 transport today.
As there is still not one single reply to:"can anyone compare this transport to computer based USB output to DAC?"I am beginning to suspect a conspiracy. Did Starbucks acquire Wadia or something?In the meantime, I felt a fleeting sense of good for... 
Man Cave or No?
I can attest to the great difficulties one encounters when merging the "man cave" with the living room, but it is a worthwhile goal.In my house, there are two generous 'living rooms' but one doubles as a dining room and family room, so I was force... 
Low Hours Phono Cartridges?
