| Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component? If you want to buy used with a return option, buy from TMR. They are good people. | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? There are a thousand dacs out there. No matter what you buy, you will always think maybe you should have bought something else. Buy the best you can responsibly afford and listen to music. | |
| who makes custom speakon speaker cables for the Benchmark AHB2? Try performance audio. They do nice work. | |
| A Big Shout out to TAP Electronics @68pete - good to hear. Unfortunately, I have found very few techs or mechanics that fix things properly. I went through some bad experiences in the past. | |
| What songs do you listen to to test a system's midrange performance? I use something off Brubeck’s Take Five. If Paul Desmond’s alto jumps out at you, run. | |
