RME ADI-2 direct to amp
So some of this RME manual is over my head! The amp I just started using does not have a gain control. At normal daytime listening levels I am at around -50 on the digital volume control of the RME direct to amp. Am I losing bits like this? I thou...

Ok Aragon is better than the Crown after warmed up although the Crown may do some things better. A little more detailed I would say. Highs are better on the Aragon and flow is better. Bouncy little amp. Surprisingly good bass slam. I feel more rel...

Bought a descent class ab amp today to compare with the Crown dci. Its an Aragon 2002 in great shape. Price too good to pass up to at least try it out. According to the owner it has upgraded input caps and is biased to factory specs. Wanted to see...

Thanks, I have been eyeing Parasound A21. Seems to get great reviews, plenty of power and has variable gain so I can get it just right to run DAC direct. I will look into these others you mentioned as well. Also still looking at Odyssey Stratos Ex... 
Raven Osprey vs Octave 110 with low sensitivity speakers
I have heard that Octave and it is sweet. I've never heard the Raven. I did hear the Octave driving some low eff Dyn Contours and it was very sweet. Handled them wonderfully with no problems at high levels in a large room.

Any suggestions for an amp under 2k used for the Pioneers? I want high current, high damping factor I think. Something on the warm side of neutral but fast. Source will likely be the RME ADI 2 direct to the amp.

Need Help wiring six speaker to a head unit
You could probably wire 3 speakers in series on each output. Parallel would definitely burn up the amp. The resistance would drop way too low. I think...... thinking back 15 years from College electrical class.

I have lived with the Pioneers for 5-6 days and could not be more pleased. They are fantastic and I feel a huge bang for the buck for what I paid for them. They do excite my room more than I had anticipated. I got some bass traps set up correctl...
