New H20 Signature S250
Tvad...You have a good point that digital amps make it possible to have half a dozen or so without dimming the lights or draining the bank account. Great for HT. However, I am one who believes that, at least for music, every channel, amp and speak...

Denf...When I made inquiry about the eAR amp I got an EMail from Red Dragon suggesting that I consider their unit. It appears to be virtually identical to the eAR 1000 watt amp, without the hassle of overseas shipment. Red Dragon is supposedly wor...

I gather that the big selling point for the H2O amp is its analog power supply, capable of supplying lots of current for a long time. However, it is not obvious to me why this is important. Since we are powering a digital amp that has high efficie...

I once had a neat little 10 watt tube amp (6V6) by Soundcraftsmen. I bought it when stereo came in for my second channel. It got replaced when 2-channel amps became available, and languished in a closet for many years. I think I junked it. What a ... 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?

Muralman1...You mention the eAR amp. I have toyed with the idea, but now find that a similar product is available from Red Dragon audio, right here in the good old USA. It uses the latest 1000 watt ICE module, in a simple neat package. What do you...

Since people are still throwing my name around, I think that I should be allowed to respond.If you go back to my original posting which (as we seem to have forgotten) was about why the general population thinks we are "wackos") I cited belief in t... 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?
Albertporter...The link was interesting. However, it remains true that the mechanical parts cited are reasonable to try Cryo treating, but spark plugs, even in YOUR link, are mentioned with skepticism.By the way, what is your definition of "negati... 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?
Albertporter...Cryo is just a more extreme form of heat treatment that has long been used to modify metalurgical properties important to wear of mechanical parts such as those mentioned. That would not be "Wacko". Spark plugs?? Well I suppose that... 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?
Who? Me?.If car buffs thought they could increase acceleration by Cryo treating their spark plugs, they would get the same treatment..

Faziod..."give me a Class A SS amp." To whom should I apply for this "gift", which I agree would be nice to have. Can I get 600 watts into 4 ohms?. In the real world, digital amps are usually the best solution. 
Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?
Buyers remorse. You are thinking about all the fun you could be having if you had spent money differently.Buy a Bose and a motorcycle.

With regard to technical advantages, digital amps excel at just about everything.How they sound is a subjective thing that you need to judge for yourself. Some audiophiles say they are great, while others complain. (What would you expect!).One asp...
