Correct way to attach speaker wires... Wait, what!!!
Thanks Kenny!  I'm glad you replied since if I recall correctly you either have or had the same amp. I was pretty sure that was the case but I thought this would be a good time since I now have new equipment.  
Need suggestions for streaming files to my stereo
This is why I am so glad we have this forum!  Thanks prpixel, I wasn't aware of the status of LM service. Yup I don't think I'll be going that route. And yes I thoroughly agree with your assessment of the mercurial nature of technology. It is wond... 
Need suggestions for streaming files to my stereo
Thanks everyone. There's a lot to think about. I'm glad there is a number of solutions for my situation. For the Bluesound and Auralic suggestions: yes that is an option I looked at but it's too much for now. Perhaps down the line I'll pick one up...

Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio
Thanks Kenny,  nice to hear that someone has done some comparisons firsthand. Even though its through your ears, its very helpful information.  If you ever hear of someone wanting to let go of their  Red Dragon Stereo amp, please let me know!  Hav...

Thanks Kenny. I've been participating in that great thread, but I felt bad about going off on tangents so I thought I'd ask it separately. I still may pose the question there though!

Thanks Erik. I think you and others on this thread may find 'this post on ICE modules interesting although it may already may be common knowledge for all of you. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/class-d/287308-icepower-differences-asp-asc-asx2.html

Class D is just Dandy!

Class D is just Dandy!
I'm playing catch-up on the posts but thanks for the recommendation on the Wtred gear Scott. That STI has been on my short list as well, most likely the v1 since the used prices sremire in my budget. I just haven't been lucky enough to snag one on...

Erik, as many others have said, thanks for starting this thread. I've found it extremely informative and quite entertaining. I'm new to the Class D amplifiers but love them because of their sound and ability to run cool which is perfect for the ti...
