What if a high end speaker measures really badly?
@helomech  so you believe that Harmon and Toole don't have any bias, after all they are competing in the industry. All the Toole listening test I have read about place one speaker in the same position not taking into account the design of the spea...

@texbychoice  it doesn't matter if you think an all analog process is inferior, people should get what was advertised. @secretguy  I don't think anyone should get anything more than their money back if they choose.   
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
@texbychoice  so it's okay to lie to your customers,  good to know you wouldn't care if a business lied to you. I don't think people who bought the 1 step albums should get more than their money back including any shipping. Mobile fidelity should ... 
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
@texbychoice the process is called 1 step and was supposed to be all analog.  You would be okay with sausage that was advertised to be all pork, but it had 50% turkey in it?  
Tube vs Solid state for Preamp
What is the output impedance of your current tube preamp? This can have an effect on bass performance. I have a tube preamp with single ended outputs with a krell ksa 300s amp, and have great bass performance.  
Krell 350 MCX Coupling Cap Jumpers
You shouldn't need to use the coupling caps on the Krell, as long as you turn the preamp on first and let the filament warm up for about 30 seconds. I used my krell ksa 300s with a tube preamp for many years without any problems.

You shouldn't even need to use those if your preamp is working properly and you turn your system on in the proper sequence.  
Ethernet cables
@classicrockfan I have news for you, fluke tested Ethernet cables even from big name cable manufacturers and found that 80% of them didn’t pass specs even though the manufacturers claimed they did.  
Lowend amp
Damping factor has very little to do with bass output. My ksa 300s has a damping factor of 150 and has great bass. It's the size of the power supply that matters most. I doubt you will find anything with a power supply as large as those krell amps.  
Paypal drastic changes
@bubinga  I have no idea what Audiogon does these days.​  
Paypal drastic changes
@bubinga  It's the government, not the IRS, PayPal or audiogon they are just following the new tax laws. The tax payment was always due, if you made a profit, now there is just a paper trail for them to trace  
A listening test of two power amps
@surdo  you have to measure voltage at the outputs using test tones.  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
@phusis  It is not a myth, it has to do with the low output impedance of solid state amps.

You can't accurately level match the way you have done.  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
The amount of solid state amps that sound good with high sensitivity speakers is also limited, that's why a lot of people choose set amps with these types of speakers.
