Roberta Flack-First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
YMMV is a commonly used abbreviation for "your mileage may vary", indicating that a specific and usually subjective observation may not be universally agreed upon. 
Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April
Paul (from PS Audio) has clearly stated that his amp design will not be using the Ncore modules. 
Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel
I would suggest sequentially reversing the left and right IC connections at one end only, first between the linestage and amp, then between the phono and linestage. If the channel going into protect mode switches then the problem is something earl... 
SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead
It's absolutely possible! Just use the MM inputs, which avoid going through the step up transformers and you can then access the MM load settings. In the manual they state that you should feel free to use either input regardless of the type of car... 
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Several rooms at the recent Chicago AXPONA show were playing some "test pressings" from the new AP SRV 45RPM release, and I have to say that the sound was absolutely stunning! You could feel the vibration of Stevie's guitar strings and the dynamic...

MMB, maybe you meant 34K Ohm? If so, it would probably be ok with most tube preamps but you may want to try a given combination before you make any commitment. If a power amp's input impedance is too low relative to the preamp's output impedance i... 
450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier
Mitch4t, the size and weight of the heat sinks on the Rowland 625 and 725 series amps are used to dissipate heat from the power output devices and are necessary due to their operation in a high bias Class A/B design. It is a common misconception t... 
What's about EDGE Audio ?
The only model I can find the age of is the 12.1 which apparently came out in 2005. Generally speaking each newer iteration is thought to offer some level of improvement, but of course opinion comes in here so YMMV. As far as matching with a tube ... 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Interesting to note that even with the sound quality of Class D amplifier circuits continuing to improve, Rowland still chooses to design their best reference grade power amps using their very advanced switched mode power supplies with Class A/B o...
