Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
If you expect to continue into records and significantly add to your collection over time, the SME table has always considered to be one of the best and it's a great beginning to updating your phono system. It's good enough that if you want as tim... 
HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range
I guess by now a Sunfire 300 watt amp should be in your price range. It will drive just about anu load down to 2 ohms. And just for fun it has 2 different sets of speaker outlets, one a direct connect, high damping one like all solid state amps an... 
VTV D300 Digital amp
Oh gee, I think this is the zillionth time I've written this. The D in class D does not stand for digital. It's D only because it came after 3 previous classes, A, B and C. And it's unfortunate it's an encoding format and class D because every one... 
What are your top 3 favorite female singers?
Bonnie Koloc Sandy Denny June TaborĀ  Eva Cassiday Mary McCaslin Pricila Herdman  
Which integrated for Wilson Sabrina's
No recommendation on amps but if you like very tight bass go for solid state. If you want fuller sound then tubes my be a better choice.  
Not sure what to think or do...
Did you demo the speakers or buy them based on specs or good reviews? I you did and they sounded good on whatever amp you demoed them on, I'd look at the amp. Otherwise if you didn't hear them before purchase, speakers, including good ones, can so... 
Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
If you want pure class A and high power you need a push/pull amp. While very rich class A no push/pull amp stays class A into all impedances at high power. Only a single ended amp(which can only be class A due to circuit topology) is ALWAYS class ... 
The revolution has begun!
Just to clarify. If by digital amp you mean one with a DAC in it, OK. But if you mean a class D amp, D does not stand for digital and class D amps are not digital but they are analog. There is encoding but the coding is an analog coding. It's unfo... 
What's the oddest thing in your music collection?
A very early Joan Baez album 'Joab Baez in San Francisco' where she does pop songs and Belafonte folky songs. She even does a version of "young Blood' in a deep, semi-male voice. The Baroque Beatles Book, Beatles tunes made to sound like real bar... 
Too much power?
70 dB may be too low for good listening. I'm sure recordings are mastered at significantly higher levels than this. And our hearing response is level related. The lower the level the poorer our hearing at low and high frequencies(I seem to recall ... 
When were the best tube amps made?
Any amp that can't even reproduce a simple sine wave doesn't count. If the negative half of a sine wave doesn't go down as far as the positive half goes up the amp is non linear and may be musical but it's not fidelity. If it does that to a sine w... 
I have an idea for an audio product what should I do?
I'm worried you may not know exactly what you are looking at. I assume when you say digital amp you mean a class D amp. But class D is not digital. It is analog. It is a form of encoding music wave forms into square waves but this is an analog enc... 
Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues
If you have used all the speakers in the same positions move the speakers around. Rooms have good and bad bass spots totally due to the room even including spots with literally no bass.  
Vintage worth the time to explore?
Playing louder has at least 2 affects. For one our hearing response varies in the bass and treble with loudness. Both roll off earlier at low levels. Flat is around 100 dB if I recall correctly and that's too dam loud and can cause ear damage. For... 
Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital?
Teo-Audio. You do know that class D is analog not digital. It is an analog coding and named class D because D comes after C, another type of analog amp not good for audio. Class D does not stand for Digital.
