This 2 lp set, Tenor Sax Album, Savoy, is awesome. 40's, 50's, Mono, darn good engineers involved. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000M03ANC/ref=tmm_vnl_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=&sr=  
Do I need isolation footers for my components if I'm already using an isolation rack?
not designed for isolation, primarily for side ventilation, however,what isolation does anyone think two layers of the larger size of these rubber feet provide? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PXNTT7K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=U... 
Full Range comparison

McIntosh MA2275 - opinions
The Cayin A88T integrated tube amp was mentioned. I own/love one.Interestingly, design goal was to sound like McIntosh 275. Designed in Germany, made in China, I took the bottom off, incredibly beautiful layout/construction/quality. ................. 
Class A 30 Watt Amps: Are they enough to drive my book shelfs?
tubes, transistors, transformers, capacitors, ... are all relative to the rated amount of power within certain specs. All are sized to achieve a price point. Other components are designed to deal with ... heat. If an amp truly could produce more p...
