Emotiva XPA-200 review
.Runnin, I see how you conveniently left out the FREE shipping to your door. And of course they offer a 30-day free trial with no re-stocking fee.Evmotiva's policy of free shipping and 30-day free trial is outstanding. For you to complain that the... 
Emotiva XPA-200 review
.Runnin, ...you failed to mention that Emotiva gives free shipping to your door. That's a tremendous show of good faith.Having the buyer pay return shipping after a 30-day trial is only fair.Also, there is no restocking fee. No one else in audio i... 
Emotiva XPA-200 review
.Lobarski...500 watts per channel is the maximum rating. You will never run those amps to their max...what you are looking for is headroom, power on tap to meet the demand of your current speakers.My speakers are rated at 300 watts for the mid-twe... 
Emotiva XPA-200 review
.If it's new amp, he can return it.Lombarski, spend a few more bucks and get the XPA2. It has more testicular fortitude than the amp you purchased. If you want more balls, you'll need to spend more money.You get a 30-day free look when you buy tho... 
TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service
.Implementation is everything in this case. If Tidal can get this thing right, it would be the final nail in the coffin for any type of disc music.Killer implementation and a comprehensive database of music would make Tidal the new 800 lb gorilla ...

.Rok, I work at home, and Pandora is always on in the background. Randy's work on the cut was what got my attention to get up and see who the heck it was that was jammin' so tuff. I'm going to create a channel for her in my Pandora lineup so that ...

.Amazing arrangement! I have to chuckle because the only version of that song I've ever heard is the one by The Dixie Cups back in '65.. 
Audio Research preamp ratings & sound differences
.SP-9 Mk3...didn't like it at all.LS-10...blackest background I ever heard. This preamp was so good, I bought it twice. When this preamp was good, it was incredible, but could be inconsistent on certain recordings. Extremely rare, they only show u...

.Listening to Pandora today while working. A smokin' jam comes on, I walked over to the Roku to see who it was. The artist was Lynn Arriale, the album 'Nuance' and the cut was "Carry On" featuring Randy Brecker on trumpet.I'd never heard of Lynne ...

Quality system, make poor recordings sound better?
.Some of my recordings became unlistenable. The well-recorded albums became so good that it was mind-blowing...and addictive.. 
My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA
.Hk, Brownsugar's enthusiasm is one thing, but to bash another manufacturer in an unequal comparison is clearly another thing.Neither does the hobby need hobbyists unfairly bashing manufacturers..
