| Looking for seperates under $5k~ Go for 2 Parasound A21 amps, run them in stereo each but use only 1 channel of each. For a preamp, go with a passive Goldpoint level control. Each A21 has about 10-12 watts of class A power before switching to AB. Use some Canare star quad spea... | |
| Any options for low power class A amps? Thank you for all of the recommendations, I have learned a lot. I really like the idea of the Amp Camp amp from Nelson Pass kit although the power supplies would be replaced by dedicated linear ones. I have designed and built small headphone amp... | |

| Any options for low power class A amps? All of this is great stuff and yes it would be a very interesting comparison. The only thing I regret is having easy demo access to these kinds of components so one can be sure to know what they are purchasing. Lancelock, thank you for letting u... | |

I just wanted to say that if you haven't chosen an amp yet take a look at the Parasound A21 at $2500. It has outlived the test of time and cont... | |
| Marantz SA-11S3 vs Sony XA9000ES After looking at the internals, I don't think it would be a substantial upgrade. Take a look at Denon's DCD-SX1 for an ultimate / affordable SACD player. | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Entertaining thread! "That guy [cable designer] must be an alien because no human could have designed a cable that sounds this good" | |
| Oppo for HT & stereo without a processor? For 2 channel it may be best to have a direct connection but for 5.1 surround sound movie applications, you want impact, a good and exaggerated surround field, clear vocals on the center channel, chest shaking bass, and most importantly, a calibra... | |
| blu-ray coaxial outputs limited rez to dacs? Bluray players will down sample copy protected high resolution audio on their coax spidf output but will not do so on its hdmi output. Use a hdmi de-embedder device to retrieve the high resolution signal from the hdmi out and convert it to coax. |
