I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?
@lalitk Thank you, they do look very refined. Do they make any models with E-I transformers? I am not big on the toroidal ones.

@bpoletti Not cool, bro. I am grateful to those colleagues who posted useful advice. You could have done the same. I'm sure you know a lot about audio.

@maplegrovemusic It looks much better without the cage, that is true. But the fact that it is so shiny/smooth and that all transformers are in the same housing puts me off.To see where I'm coming from let me give you an example of an amplifier tha...

@falconquest Agree to disagree. I saw it too and my reaction was different.

@bpoletti I am a very visual type. If I think that my equipment is an eyesore, it spoils the music. I guess you are lucky not to have this issue.

@mdeblanc Now, these are some good looking amplifiers. Much more revealing of their functions. Thank you. 
Why not batteries instead of power supplies?
@erik_squires Awesome explanation, many thanks. I think I am beginning to get it.

@erik_squires This is fascinating stuff. I must admit that I don’t understand the link between output impedance of batteries and more cross talk and dynamic range. You clearly know this stuff inside out. if you could give me a pointer or two to he...

@geoffkait I knew that AC could be a problem. Is there a way to hook up an amplifier to a battery pack and avoid AC altogether?

@facten Many thanks. Just two follow up questions.* Which amp is better in your view, LM518 or LM219?* Are LM amplifiers quality products? I am troubled by the fact that  JA discovered so much noise in his review.

@tketcham You are right. I am relatively new. But I have to start learning somehow.

@tablejockey We can have polite disagreements. No need to call me names. I have asked for advice. Many have given valuable advice. You have chosen to insult me. No need for that, bro.

@facten I auditioned the LM216. It is a really good looking machine, but the sound quality was disappointing. There was even mains hum?! Also, I heard ringing. As as regards the LM518, I remember reading a less than stellar review in the Stereophi...
