| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers @moose89 from your OP it’s unclear if you want a SS integrated, or just a power stage. I used KT 66- and 88-based integrated’s for some years until I fatigued of the amount of waste heat and tube lifespan (+ listening windows) lost to warmup t... | |
| Eversolo DMP -A8 Server,Dac, Streamer,Preamp - best bang for the Buck I think a worthy question is whether the parent company remain devoted to support for Eversolo in the long run.

| Songs you use when auditioning gear Useful trial for a stereo setup’s ability to manage complex percussion: ”The Echo Game” - House of Flying Daggers (2004 OST) If the link doesn’t work, a direct search on YouTube will. Select the track with album art, not the actual scene from th... | |
