| Should I buy a Class A Amp. What a great thread has been created. I need to make more friends like this. :) The other thing, one not often mentioned, is that if your ears can't tell a difference, don't spend the money. Stereo equipment, like cars, rarely ages well. It's not... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. Also, if possible, connect your media players (TV, BD Disk, etc.) directly to your home network via cables. If you live in an apartment Wifi is always going to be an issue due to the number of competing routers. Best,Erik | |
