| Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED) Unfortunately, used $2k Plinius SA100 amps aren’t around any more. I believe people are hanging onto them. 100 watts 8 ohm, I believe 200 watts into 4. And flip the front panel switch to listen in A/B mode. They would drive anything. These ... | |

| The revolution has begun! Yawn. | |
| Time to do house cleaning. Put it all on Craigslist now. After the 1st of the year many potential buyers will be broke. | |
| What now? For $3k you can purchase a pair of Martin Logan Spires used that will blow you away. I’ve seen several sets available for sale recently. But you won’t drive them with a receiver. Great speakers. Nothing near them at that price. Originally $9k new. | |

| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. You’re running a Forte 4a? Well good for you! I had a pair of them in monoblocks. Or were those the 7a’s. Can’t remember. Anyway they were great running ML’s! | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna All of these swaps and comparisons. This hobby is endless. But I’m done purchasing tube amps. And that’s a blessing. One is enough. |
