My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
dguitarnut,The Rane is never the twain to be forgotten, as I "splain" it.   
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
WC,Although I agree that the Neo deserves the best, I believe that the Dag 400 is a backward move.  It might be better than the power amp section of the Dag integrated, but not to the extent that the Plinius is.  The Dag 400 will have more power o...

klh007,I just read the Mapleshade link, thanks.  I am glad the author hears what I do, and also has more technical background than me to make products that deliver the maximum information.  Which model have you used?  Did you compare to high gauge... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Mrdecibel,Do you use 12 gauge zip cord or another type of speaker wire? I never tried 12 gauge zip. Maybe it doesn’t exist. I do remember Monster Cable in the old days, to be merely fat zip cord, but can’t remember if I tried it. But thanks to klh...

For starkly comic relief, I will state that I prefer plain no. 18 zip cord for speaker wire. Yes, I know that larger cable (lower gauge) should transmit more power, etc. But my listening tests over several decades have shown that lower gauge speak...

maplegrovemusic,I recall you saying that you use Exogal amps for your KingSound stats. Which model, and what are the sound characteristics? Lyngdorf makes digital amps, as well as room correction software?  And you are correct that class D is not ...

WC,Class D amps are already SOTA.  The $16,500 retail for the Mola Mola Kaluga is a reasonable price for the SOTA quality.  I almost bought them from Bill Parish, who said they sound more accurate than the much more pricey Soulution 700 series amp...

ron17,Thanks for your info on digital EQ.  This requires further study, but at the moment with my non computer based old fashioned CD, DAC, EQ, amp system, I don't see how the Roon can be utilized.  I am certainly interested in digital EQ.  I met ...

bigddesign3,Thanks for your comments about EQ in car audio systems.  It seems like you found digital EQ to be a problem in the bass.  What about your experience for EQ in HF?  My ordianry stock car radios have benefitted enormously from simple tre...

minorl,I think we agree about priorities, although every effort makes a difference.  First, optimized speaker placement.  Sure, the Neo is more open with greater breathing room behind it.  But I think that WC had used the ML Montis, 13A, 15A and C...

WC,+10 for your enthusiasm and helpful comments.  Although I have been verbose, I try to concentrate all my thoughts into as few words as I can, but just want to clarify as best as I can, unlike those 5+ pages of effusive magazine reviews which in... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
ron17,I agree that speaker placement is most important.  I will keep an open mind about digital EQ, thanks.  But bigddesign3 I think was the one who said that analog EQ is better.  I wonder what are his reasons.

thezaks,OK, I re-read your post on the last page, and t realize that you found the Emotiva thin for HT.  I don't know if you listened to it in stereo, comparing another stereo amp, and came to the same conclusion.  Either way, power cord matching ... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
thezaks,Recaeling your comment about the thin quality of the Emotiva, I can't remember whether you meant for 2 channel or 7.1 HT.  Although I have no experience with quality HT, I can say that playing a mono recording through 2 stereo speakers giv... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
mrdecibel,I am surprised that you choose to rant about my persistence, and describe my thoughts as gibberish spurs from my mouth instead of trying to engage in a fruitful discussion about the points I just made.  If you just want to berate me for ...
