| Power Cord Order of importance I’m with Eric, I’ve begun to build some PC’s but use Furutech shielded cabling and connectors. Not cheap... but not 1000’s either... | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so @blindjim... given everything you stated above, you need to seriously consider the Hegel H390 in your auditioning. It is an outstanding Int and has all that you want and don’t want. No it isn’t tubes, but class a/b dual mono design. It has the gru... | |

| Power Cord Order of importance Amp, preamp, sources. PC’s definitely make a difference, just like anything. Having said that, I think “bang for the buck” they are the lowest priority. Get your interconnects, speaker cables etc dialed, then PC’s. As mentioned, you can do stellar... | |
| Focal Sopra 02 and Pass XA25? The Xa25 actually hits over 3x the listed (25w 8 ohm) wattage with 1% THD+N... Pass rates it @ .01%. It’s a little powerhouse as this is a pure class A amp. It really kicks a$$. It has more grunt than the numbers might suggest.https://www.stereop... | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed Why not go with a beefy integrated such as a Hegel H390? I know it’s not tubes but will blow you away. Otherwise, in your price realm, fo separates, a Parasound A21+ and a tube line stage of your choice gets the job done in your $$$ realm. | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Pass Labs Int 60... or even the Int 25 if you want smaller. Both no brainer for sure. So many options at this price point... all good for the most part. A Simaudio 700i (used) hits all the buttons too. If you really want to go crazy and have a dac... | |

| Killer used integrated for All amps can use a “break in”. Good choice on the Marantz, it’s a nice unit! | |
| Another dedicated line question I’m planning to install ONE dedicated circuit this spring. Not because I want isolation (partly) but because I’m using an already “busy” circuit in the house. From every thing I’ve seen/read ONE dedicated circuit to rule them all. | |
| Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2 I’m trying to figure out how you guys managed to blow both tweeters? ASU isn’t that is indeed the problem. Wow.
