| PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250 I had this amp in my system for a few months. Class A, I don't know. I haven't heard most of the contenders. Does it sound good, yes.

| Anyone heard the Odyssey monos vs Plinius amps? In answer to Fiddler regarding the HCA-2. I saw dramatic changes in the first two weeks of operation and none after that. In actual playing time. I think I had about 150-200hrs on the amp when I sent it back. I thought the amp was very good. In my... | |

| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? I have listened to various B&W for over twenty five years, including the original 800's 801's, 802 etc. I also listened to the one that looked like, and it may have had an electrstatic element in it. Most of the systems I have heard that had B... | |
