| Power Amp & Integrate Amp Integrated amp can work if it has an HT bypass feature. This is needed since your Marantz needs to fully control the volume of the Atmos speakers. So a power amp would be a natural fit. Any decent 2 CH amp will work to drive them. You do not need ... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets + 1 on a dedicated line AND Hubbell outlets. Everything matters. | |

| Primaluna? Also the Aric Audio Transcend Push-Pull amplifier is a wonderful amp. You can swap tubes from EL34’s on up to KT150’s. Triode / ultra linear switching on the fly and variable feedback (from off to full) gives you several amps in one. top grade t... | |
| Sound carpet Assuming this is a new area rug and not wall to wall, I would find a piece of foam carpet pad at the big box stores. Have it cut to size just smaller than the new rug by a few inches, and place it underneath. The extra padding could help. And it... | |

| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! @ lpretiring +1 on the Mad Scientist goop. Works well in my system. | |
| Need help selecting a streamer for a beginner. OP, you are making a good choice with the Node. Like your turntable and CD player, it is simple to use, unlike the vast tech setup options that come with streaming from a laptop. Find a way to hardline the Node to your modem. Then get a MHDT Orchi... | |
| New Bluesound Node – First Impressions +1 on all the Node2i > MHDT Orchid posts. Then have Grannyring modify your Orchid - huge improvement - Then add an adapter with a NOS 7308 tube. Wow, rivals my analog rig. Not quite on par, but SO good and SO convenient. | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Another observation on the unwrapped SR fuse. From the image, it looks as if they applied a graphene paste to the fuse before they wrapped it in their foil backed SR sticker. Perhaps these two additions to the stock fuse is part of their proprie... |
