| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences About this time last year, I purchased a Digital Amplifier Company class D amp. It was used, about ten years old and the most expensive amp I have ever purchased. I have many different class A/Bs from a multitude of US manufacture's and a couple... | |
| Decent preamp Proceed, if you can find one. A Mark Levinson in disguise, without the price tag. Built like a tank. | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. I would suggest 'Jazz' a movie by Ken Burns. A well made history of jazz from the early beginning to contemporary. | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp On the one hand a big beefy class A/B with lots of power like a BGW 750 or studio 620, take mine they are space takers. Or....you could try a class D. Not all class D will give you everything, however a Digital Amplifier Company class D might ju... | |

| Thoughts on choosing an amplifier Any DAC Cherry rated at 200 wpc @ 8 ohms. The Magnepans won't do much at 100 or 150 wpc. I looked at the Parasound A21+ for a long time. I use a DAC Maraschino 60V for my Magnepan DWMs and a DAC 4800A for the MMG mains. With a tube pre you wil... | |

| Happy Scale My first system was from 1969. Pioneer SX424 @ 12 watts, pair of small 2 way Pioneer speakers and a Dual 1019 record player. The SX424 survived the longest until I heard ESS Heil AMT4s. Next big impact was a pair of Magnepan MGCIIIc's. All the... | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps Brick Wall, I use their 20amp 2 outlet for large current amps and the 15amp 8 outlet for electronics. Simple and not that expensive, 289 for the 8 outlet. | |
| Visiting audio stores? asvjerry and dseltz, thank you. I was thinking of buying toilet paper stock.....when it touches bottom. Oh, crap, all our toilet paper comes from China. | |
| Visiting audio stores? After looking at the airports, on the computer, yesterday and today......very dense crowd for that much time together. And they are going back to all parts of the country for.... dispersal. I'll refer you to the 'Infected Mushrooms' CD, the song... | |
