| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player I was going to buy the xa5400es, then I saw the negative review by Dave_b on Agon and decided to go for the NAD55. Good call... finally heard the sony and Dave_b is right, it lacks detail for the price point. Very ordinary and overpriced. | |
| SET vs OTL ... and here is the famous SET that generates 150w per channel and a bandwidth of 20Hz-100,000 kHz. Too bad it costs $350,000... The Wavac SH-833 :http://stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/704wavac/ | |

| SET vs OTL To add to that I have an Audiovalve RKV OTL amp that sounds really wonderful, but 3 watts per channel was never going to be enough so am looking to upgrade soon to a little bit more power, hence the question. | |
