| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? My Musical Fidelity M6PRX amplifier. Since I got this amp I have tried others including Bryston, Mark Levinson and Coda. I always come back to it. It seems to have great synergy with any speaker I try and it just sounds great. | |

| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? The last time I went to a Dealer was twelve years ago. I had just made an $8000 profit on the sale of some big office copiers and decided to drop it all on a new pair of speakers. I walked into the dealer all happy and a salesman with a thick east... | |

| Romex to your amp? @jea48 I use IG receptacles because they keep the ground isolated, are of better quality, reduce RF. These are used in IT instalations and for medical equipment in hospitals. My runs are 12-2 solid NM wire bonded at the panel and the outlet only. ... | |
