| Heat in class A equipment Ugh here we go....Sugden has been making Class A amps since 1967! Some of those amps are still going strong today with little to NO service! Go take a gander at the heat sinks on say, an A21 integrated.....massive! Beautiful, holographic, rich, f... | |

| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet You can't go much wrong with Audioquest thunder, X3, and Z3 power cords. Own all three and I'm happy. Also Audioquest Edison receptacle is very nice, grips like a gorilla. 20 amp dedicated circuit Here, run myself, lots saved. All plugged into Au... | |

| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Kevin Gray's White Ladder, have it on CD, but recently bought the lp. No idea how the lp will sound, hopefully at least as good as the CD. Not a bad song on that album imo...always one of my favorites. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? What "will" be on my turntable is a copy of the Lady Gaga a star is born lp...heard it on a YouTube video which featured an Avid Ingenium plug and play turntable (Tannoy Cheviot speakers) playing the song Always remember us this way...it sounded g... |
