| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Years ago I purchased a VAC CLA1 MKII Pre, Counterpoint NPS-400, Clearfield Continental speakers with Synergistic Research cables for $300 and then spent $300 on tubes and a repair. I still have and use the VAC in my second system. | |

| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @atmasphere Thanks for chiming in. With your selection, it is still more than 5 to 1 in favor of Class A over anything else in this thread. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll So far it's about 5 to 1 that people are not ditching Class A, good to hear. Hopefully we will never see an Energy Star Sticker on the back of Amps :) | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Thanks for all the answers so far, the consensus with this small sampling is still what I expected, more thumbs up than down. In full disclosure, this discussion came up within one where Luxman stopped making Class A amps due to Environmental Iss... | |
