Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system
Budget is everything? 
Class A amps
@georgehifi… every single thread around this topic you bring up Wilson Alexias. Every, single, one. You describe the load of the Alexia as a 1 ohm load etc etc, and basically anything but a bi-polar amp, namely a Gryphon, has little to no chance o... 
Class A amps
@invalid, correct. Pass’ high end amps, (Pass Labs brand) whether class A or AB are the high powered amps. The low wattage amps (either type) are considered the entry level.  
Who will soon be going to a live concert?
@jond you completely missed the point. Cherry picking the stats to justify the response is the problem. “Science” seems to only work if it favors a certain perspective. 
That Other Audiophile Website
No doubt, three threads? Really?  
How do you listen?
I multitask as well, but not always. It just depends on my mood and what I put on. It is a very purposeful thing. 
That Other Audiophile Website
The “other site” has nothing to do with this. If he stated it came from a non-smoking environment, or you asked and he said it wasn’t in that environ and it showed up like that, different discussion. Buy the seller, ask every question that is impo... 
Who will soon be going to a live concert?
Hmm? Let’s not cherry pick stats… So Covid is the new kid on the block, it has definitely caused its problems. HOWEVER, we seem to forget that the flu kills an average of nearly 1 million people world wide between its direct effects and its second... 
Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else
@hifi59 ugh… zombie thread. Most Pass amp amps “don’t measure well” they aren’t designed to “measure well”. They are designed to sound good. Read Nelson’s take on this on the website. 
Budget High Current Power Cords
You can make your own, but to do it right isn’t exactly cheap. Still, you can create an excellent cable overall for a fairly reasonable price. Shunyata Research, Audio Art and Audio Sensibility are good choices with their entry level cables.  
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
As others have said, rid yourself of them. Having said that you are looking at parting out a record collection. Possible more of a PITA than actually parting out a car, and possibly more work… just less grease. Anyway, how many records are we talk... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@boxer12 awesome album. An all time fav of mine! 
Expandable sleeving
Some have a version of expandable sleeve made for them, but most use a version of Techflex, they have many different options and I’m sure custom options as well. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Bought Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same box set some while back. I had not had a chance to just sit and play it… . Freakin’ awesome! 
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
