tube pre amp or tube amp
Bass is the one thing that makes me hesitant about tube amps. I do use subwoofers, so I guess I really should not have a concern because I can always adjust it to make up for what I feel is missing on the low end. 
Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place?

Hey That's Not So Bad if It's Class D
Class D amps from major manufacturers have never sounded terrible. The way some talk, one would think class D had CB Radio sound quality and Class A was HD fm radio. Even 20 years ago class D could sound very good. The sound difference is not anyt...

Any one using 2 separate amps using a/b switch to same speakers?

Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
I was disappointed to hear about the Mac. To me, it's the best looking of the bunch. However, the sound is the most important thing in the end.
