Plinius SA301 Or Bryston 4bsst2?
Oh ok, thanks. I would go with the Plinius for sound, but maybe not as reliable operation-wise as the Bryston. 
Recommend Class a Amp
Ok, Abrew, I see your point. Personally, I'm not going by price but by performance. And to me and other audiophiles, most of Parasound, minus the Halos I suppose, is upper mid-fi. Again, I'd love to hear how they compare to Pass Labs and even high...

Bryston bp-20 vs bp-25

Which Turntable??

Not that I'm in the market for 1, but where do you pick them up for cheap? Those are $9000 USD amps.
