Are Rodgers ls3/5a as good as advertise? & Why
Years ago I was deciding between Spica TC-50 or LS3/5A. Stereophile rated the Spicas a bit higher and they were very closely priced. I also preferred the Spicas. Today the Spicas are selling used for $300 tops, so that's where I also value the use... 
Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp

Question for Maggie 1.7 owners

Classe DR-2 vs Classe DR-3
...FWIW, I noticed that both of these amps have a high DC turn-on transient that will push your drivers out as far as they can go!...Maybe you can get that fixed. Did new ones do that?

Jitter Of New Mac Mini Optical Line Out Improved?
