| Anyone else feel left out? One of the nice things of this hobby (and wines also) is that the entry ticket is not as high as some other options out there. I do think that the price reference you gave us is good enough to start a very competent sound system and enjoy the musi... | |

| Need complete stereo help starting with preamp Depends on tastes mostly Andy, my impression is that a tubed integrated will give you a sense of more musicality and roundness to music reproduction, a solid state one will place more dynamics and bass extension (being musical as well if you go fo... | |
| Need complete stereo help starting with preamp I would try a Jolida Integrated amp or a used Naim Nait series.Fernando | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers What is your experience of intensive wear that pure Class A designs impose to output transistors? Does Class A amps were at a faster rate than a/AB?, which are the sonic implications of such "wear" in older Class A designs? | |

| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers I second Ramy here (Gryphon DM100), the only caveat would be the intensive wear that class-a design brings to output transistors, Is there any technical trad-off in that?Regards,Fernando | |
