| Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers? Do they sound heavenly and eeeh playing the same music? If so, then it's definitely something else. If you can find a correlation (demanding source material) then it's probably the amp. | |
| Ayre cx 8 cd player Did anyone read the Stereophile review? Seemed to be damning with faint praise. Sonically, it seems to be a different beast from the 7 series. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Triple runs of jumper cable vanquishes everything else! | |

| Recommendation on power amp What we need are fewer dealers whose every post turns into a lengthy infomercial. | |
| AC mains noise Borrowed noise sniffer and tested my AC lines... There are also videos on youtube of Isotek with before and after measurements with noise sniffers. I was seriously tempted by the Gordian, but eventually went Isotek. | |
| Luxman D-06u or Esoteric K-05Xs CD / SACD player? And check out the current thread on a 'goner trying to get service for his Esoteric. | |
| Any insight on Tekton Double impact BE, Focus Se, Salk SS 8, or Golden Ear TRef? As a PMC Twenty.24 owner, I was impressed by the bass coming out of the modestly sized regular Song3’s, and of course the Encore has the significantly bigger woofer (same company) and corresponding enclosure. | |
