The End Of Big Iron?
Class D amps span many varieties, but I guess I may just share your overall view on Class A amps.Thanks Phusis, I appreciate that. Meaning your thorough explanation. Basically, I have high efficiency speakers, so Class A should be no problem. I'm ... 
Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare?
If I can make a good deal I will buy the 350.8 in a few months. I am looking forward to own it!!Cool Bo. Let us know how you like it! 
Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare?
Yeah, the irony of someone with a $5500 retail set derogating the terrible quality of the $20000 speakers is just awesome. So many egos in this place... gotta love it when they get squeezed a little (sorry Don).Exactly, and I'm not gonna get into ... 
Pro-Ject turntables
Ok, cool, Kiko65, thanks again for the recommendations! 
Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare?
Thanks Cal3713, I appreciate that. 
Led Zep Reissue on vinyl
(Dave_72, of course I know there were no pops or clicks in the originals...manufacturer's defect in your case).Yeah true. I hope cleaning the damn thing will get rid of the pops. It's worked for me in the past with other records in my collection... 
Phase Linear 700 & 400 series II
Cool. I figured that. 
Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare?
Thanks Bo. Exactly. I dunno what this Don_c55 guy is talking about. I doubt he has heard the high end JBLs thoroughly. The S4700s *when broken in* can be very delicate indeed. And furthermore, they fit my listening profile as I listen to mainly cl...

The End Of Big Iron?
I had a Class D amp. I didn't care for it and it ran out of gas early and overheated. To be fair, it was a mass produced Onkyo, and it's probably not the ultimate in Class D design. Right now, I have an A/B amp; the sound is good, but not phenomen... 
Led Zep Reissue on vinyl
That's nothing compared to this company called Interpunk. I bought the Sex Pistols reissues from them, and they were clearly warped to Hell. I then reordered thinking I would get new ones. Wrong. These cretins sent me back the same goddamn ones ba... 
The End Of Big Iron?
I'm into monster Class A amps instead of A/B; Accuphase, Pass Labs, etc. Class A just sounds better. :D 
Phase Linear 700 & 400 series II
That's fine. But, you're qualifying the PLs as something great, and the reality is, they're just ok, imo. And the McIntosh model I was referring to was the MC2300. Anyway, we agree to disagree. I'm tired of arguing about this, thanks. 
True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good?
I auditioned the Divas with Krell stuff back in '88, it was one of the best auditions I have had to date. Which leads me to believe that audio hasn't really progressed all that much since that time. Anyway, I picked up a pair of Stages a little wh... 
High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?
However, I have no idea what the sound recording engineer actually recorded or how that person intended the recording to sound. So, I am using my judgement in listening to the recordings. But, it would be interesting to have the acutal recording ...
