| Which would be preferable, an older Audio Research Corp. VT130 or a newer SS Rotel 1552? The AR amp will likely sound quite a bit different than the Rotel,better imaging & staging,more organic midrange,bass with the 6550's should be pretty good but man oh man,with the heat,the weight & the major cost to retube when the time c... | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? I've been in this hobby 50+ years..I've owned them all.Class A Single Ended Tubes,Class A Single Ended SS,Class A/B PP Tubes & SS,Class A Hybrid & Class A/B Hybrid & I will admit,I WAS a Class snob!

| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) While I've never had a chance to demo them,I read good things about Daedalus Audio.. I have heard 3 different models from Focus Audio & I have to say,if I had the room & they were not so damn heavy I would have bought a pair years ago! | |
