Wadia Inuition (Class D amp) connect with subwoofer
Hello spacelab4,     These Wadia product experts couldn't also tell you how to safely hookup a sub to the Intuition?  I suspect they really were not certain and were erring on the side of caution. In my opinion, this is somewhat understandable but...

Amp recommendation for Martin Logan Odyssey speakers
Hello likes2hike,     I think you did the right thing by calling D-Sonic’s owner, Dennis Deacon. As you now know, he’s a good guy who’s also very knowledgeable and experienced with class D amps. He was very helpful when I was considering buying a ... 
Why not objectivist music reviews?
Hello wassaicwill,     I personally agree with you that objectivist gear reviews and sinad scores are interesting and useful.  I was just trying to be objective in my post.Later, Tim

Hello hilde45,     I have that Keith Greeninger track as a 24 bit/96KHz FLAC file download on my hard drive, excellent direct to hi-res digital recording with very realistic dynamics as heard and felt when listening to acoustic music played live. ... 
Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image?
     Yes, thank you toothroyd.  A faulty interconnect cable could also be a possible root cause just as improper stylus tracking in the groove could be a root cause. The process of elimination should enable you to narrow down the possible root cau...
