Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing?
@goodlistening64  Awesome comment. I guess in a biamp World, the amplifiers in use would greatly benefit from gain controls  
Borresen Loudspeakers
Bookshelf speakers are deficient in the base area. Most people I know who bought these things end up buying subwoofers. Also the drivers are too narrow, I’ve never why drivers keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Their marketing hype is t... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
So much commentary. Have you considered trying a roon nucleus? It's a computer yes. But if you couple that with a decent streamer dac which is where the true value is you should be in pretty good shape. The merits of spending a lot of money on a ...

@rooze  Did you buy anything at the auction? Incredible you were there. Any insights as to why they dumped everything so quickly?  
Ken Fritz article
What was Ken's net worth any idea? I'm not sure what the hurry was to get rid of all the gear they should've taken more time. Can't believe some of his family members didn't want any of it? My grandfather collected certain items that were very r... 
Mcintosh pre amp pricing
Most people who buy Macintosh amplifiers and pre-amplifiers just keep them sitting on a shelf if they stop using them. It’s a royal pain in the ass to sell used gear and new gear even if you have the old box. If you give it to a dealer as a trade...

Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’?

What affects front to back depth in room/ system?
You need to listen to Diana Krall all the time if you wanna listen to things with sound depth . Most of the time I find it's the quality of recording that makes all the difference in the world despite whatever equipment you have

Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
Quality cables are important but keep in mind I think they all colour the sound and yeah you may notice a change but is the change for the better. I find audio quest extremely annoying with all their cherry Banana product names. I do have their H... 
B&W 805 D4: which 5 channel power amp should I go with (home theater): Parasound or Rotel
Mcintosh five channel amplifier would be perfect. I got one and it's plenty of power  
Why isn't better quality used gear being made available?
If they in good shape it sounds like a good deal. I would offer them $400 to rent them for two days with the balance owed if you keep them. Or just buy them outright. And if you do this I would see if you can look inside them to see if there's an... 
Ken Fritz article
What an incredibly awful article. What was the purpose of doing this article? I Recall the details of the auction of the system and was horrified. How could his family not enlist the support of the audio community to take great care and do what t...
