Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
Pink Floyd "Animals".  I pick up something new each time I listen to "Dogs".  
Volume Problem Trouble Shooting Ideas?
@wolf_garcia -- A BIG amen on the "simply amazing sounding".  On top of that, Dennis is very easy to reach via email AND he responds in a pretty quick time frame.  He also monitors the Forums specializing in his gear and answers questions and give... 
Rediscovery
I just recently bought a Cambridge Audio CXC Transport and CA DacMagic 100 specifically to revisit my CD collection.  I love it.  I also listen primarily to Progressive Rock, Progressive Metal, and Progressive Death Metal.  A lot of fantastic new ...

@wolf_garcia -- I also think it is not for the beginner in this hobby, but actually $4,000 is chump change compared to some of the amps I see for sale on this site.  A low-production, point to point wiring, handmade, signed and dated 300B amp made...

@wolf_garcia -- I haven't heard the 300 by Dennis, but a friend has one.  He said it is incredible.

@jhnnrrs -- I'm sorry.  Explain to me the justification for buying a 1.5 watt amplifier.  Headphone amps have more power than that.   I don’t know, explain buying an amp with 500 watts per channel. Believe me or don’t believe me, but the Denn...

@glennewdick   the MC-225 would work with your polks if your listening at lower levels but its still only 25wpc so your not going to get to concert levels but will probably work nicely if your reasonable with the volume. It will be in one of...

@bigkidz -- Thank you for the input.  I'm in Central North Carolina, but if I'm ever up your way I will certainly give a holler!  I'm not familiar with the difference between 845 tubes and 45 tubes...I will research that online.  I do know that th...

@imhififan -- I should have been more clear with my statement, "Before hooking the Amp and Preamp up in this current listening area, they worked perfectly and did not have this issue."   What I meant by that statement was when I auditioned the A...

@glennewdick -- Thank you!  I feel like an idiot now 😆.   After reading your post, I quickly researched and found, indeed, the Dennis Had 45 is rated at 2 watts, with many users thinking it's 1.5 watts.  EVERY owner said the same thing -- you must... 
What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay
@rsf507 -- No sarcasm intended at all, but please enlighten me why "No ebay Ads" is your qualifier?  Do I buy stuff off ebay?  No.  Do I know others that buy a ton of stuff off ebay?  Yes.  Would I buy an Accuphase from ANYWHERE?  No, I think it i... 
What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay
@echolane -- I can understand where you are coming from, and if it is an Accuphase Amp, I find it freaking ridiculous that a person can buy a brand new, in the box, unopened Accuphase E4000 Integrated Amp in Japan for $6,190...but buy it here in t... 
help me identify this amplifier
@jcbwgatos -- Every pair I've ever seen has a Gothic Script letter "K" label on the front left of the amp.  Is that missing from yours, I didn't see it in the picture.  If yours does not have it, I would suggest looking online to see if replacemen... 
help me identify this amplifier
Agree with @muljo. A pair currently listed: Dr Klimo Kent Vintage Tube Power Amplifiers Condition: UsedUsed Price: US $2,699.00   Only pair I've seen in the U.S. for sale.  Several are listed in Italy and Germany.  I've read great reviews o... 
Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch?
The knowledge and expertise shown by the members of this Forum never ceases to amaze me!  I have no doubt that if added up, the years of experience in this group of Audiogon Members, as a collective, would total in the thousands.   Sure, at time...
