| Soldered VS ...everything else I can see how spades would work better - using the pressure of the screw for connection. That is if you can get good compression between the wire and the plug. With banana you're relying on spring pressure. | |
| NHT 2.5i VS NHT Classic 4 I've got a pair of 2.5s that I've had...forever... and have enjoyed them. The only question is: where to go from here? 4's? Something else? IS there anyone else who is offering as much/more value for the money? | |

| Picking an amplifier That's what I thought. Audio isn't my specialty. It looks to me like the basic flaw in all these protocols is the failure to embed timing within the protocol. While that would expand the amount of data required & storage requirements at the pi... | |

| Picking an amplifier He's got it on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-CX-A5000-11-2-Channel-Preamplifier-Processor-Black/332420837035?hash... Its the same one. After a couple exchanges, I offered him $825 via Ebay and he didn't get back to me. I might have offen... | |
| Picking an amplifier I knew that. Thanks. I'm negotiating on the Yamaha. Trying to get him down from $950. The Essence STX II arrived today. Didn't get the daughterboard. | |

| Picking an amplifier Auxiinut: I should know better than ask an audiophile what he’s shopping for. What’s $2k among friends? Hey! Found this site while looking up some acronyms: https://www.dcsltd.co.uk I think you'd fit right in. | |
| Picking an amplifier Auxinput: Looks like I'm need to visit the only high end audio sales room in the area to get a listen to the difference between warm and neutral. The place where I bought all this stuff from didn't survive the recession. I agree that the Sony tend... | |

| Picking an amplifier Auxinput: Thanks for the reply. To help me with choosing between warm and neutral how would you characterize the Sony's sonic signature? | |
| Picking an amplifier auxinput:Just had a DOH moment, you gave me a list of pre/pro's to go through. Scrambling to see if I want that Marantz SR6011 that closes in a couple of hours. | |
| Picking an amplifier The Sony is breaking down - output channels cutting in/out, some of the menu functionality has disappeared (most recently test tone only allows on/off/RF/auto). Its getting to be time to order some hardware. I may have one or two of those splitte... |
