| Stereophile - MF Supercharger article-add 550W/ch. Along the same lines, check out the 6Moons review of Nelson Pass's First Watt F4 current drive amplifier. 50wpc stereo, 110wpc balanced monoblocks. Although, the design can easily be scaled up or down from that output.In the review, Srajan runs a ... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Slightly OT: Has this thread set the record for most posts? Or, was it the Lenco rebuilding thread? | |
