Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125
Those gain knobs are usually supposed to be at full so the volume can be controlled by a preamp. I think you'll be really happy with the marriage of the P5 and A23, plus you get a DAC built in too. 
Quality Power Cord
Uh, how was it that you paid $1 for a free stock cable, and why would you do such a thing? 
Speaker Cable connection: Jumpers
Really? Then I would want to move to something else eventually as laid back speakers and laid back cables are not a good combo for me. I didn't have the Type 4 until after I got rid of the Emotiva gear. I had fine strand copper 12 gauge and saw a ...

Excellent idea, I'm sure they'll be able to get you squared away.

So I've tried the method where positive goes to the high side and negative goes to the low side. I'm not sure if it was superior or not, I couldn't really sense a difference, but to turn off the system, reconnect each speaker and turn it back on i...

Thanks for your suggestions and thoughts, looks like I need to do some reading! 
I am sick of Adele
There was a TV special, Live from England, that I saw recently. She had an interviewer and she'd walk over to do a song with the band, then back to the chair to chat some more. I was struck with what a real person she is, not some ego maniac who s...

Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
Interesting thread, I've been wondering what the deal is with class D and have learned a fair amount already from this young thread already. 
Morrow Audio Cables
Well RSA, it looks like you've started a thread on that as well. Hopefully someone will have experience with those.Morrow is having a black friday sale, 50% off on their used cables starting friday. I got excited about this until I checked their p...

No, Morrow is the only one that I know of recommending such a long break in. Actually, I think there may be other brands that use silver plated copper, I don't know what they recommend.At any rate, apparently that's the reason their cables need su... 
Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125
Yep, you may not even need the P5. Until you connect the A23 into the system and compare, hold off on a purchase would be my advice. B&W can be bright, but the right electronics and or cables can help. I found that cheap brass gold plated bana...

You know what? In my case, the panel is on the same wall as my system and wall outlets, and about 15 feet away. But alas, there is no room in the panel for another breaker. I'd have to buy a larger panel with more breaker spaces. a lot of work and...

Hmm. Well, I'd need to buy 2 more at 60 or so a pop. I'd be willing to do that, but first I'd like to run dedicated lines to the stereo, and that's not cheap. I found out my treadmill is on the same circuit as the stereo.

Sure, I was comparing the stock cable that came with the oppo 95 and the stock cable that came with the Parasound Halo P7.
