Speaker stands brand?
Thanks for all replies.Yes, I've seen Sound Anchors and Skylan stands are most popular for Harbeth speakers. The one I showed seems to be made for C7. Size-wise, it fits perfect. 18" height ,and with spikes it can be 19". It won't be as heavy as s... 
Amp shut off and came back again.
Mostly I listen in A/B mode, and the amp just gets warm, not hot.Class A makes it generate lots of heat.I'll get another rack or let the amp stands as its own, or maybe use a small fan.

Thanks again.l feel relieved.My amp (Plinius SA 102) seems to get hot easily when operating in class A and pushed hard. It might need more breathing room too.

Ok.Thanks.I was listening in class A mode with much bigger than normal level, and the amp got hot.lt has just about 2” from the top. Probably I need a taller rack.Thanks again. 
CD players sold in Japan can work in US with no problem?
Many thanks.So far, I have purchased a few electrical items from Japan, assuming that 100V would be no problem with 120V. They were all cheap electric devices under $100, and used very occasionally, and I haven't had any problem so far.I was looki... 
CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D
jl35,Oops, I meant by 95, not 93. I'll go for either 95 or 105D.  
CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D
I thought about 105D, but I've heard that there are not much difference of analog stereo sound between 93 and 105D, and they use pretty much the same DAC chip. I would listen to mostly CD and some SACDs.If there's any difference, it would be hard ... 
CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D
Hmm, Pioneer dv79avi sounds better for CD and SACD than OPPO 95?I really don't care much about BlueRay in my stereo system since I have a separate home theater setup with OPPO 103D player.I might look into more options for just CD/SACD player at ... 
CD/SACD Player that is at least as good as OPPO BDP 103D
Thanks for all.If I have enough disposable income now, I would not mind spending much more, even more than $2000, but I'd like to keep it under $1000. I asked about $2000 since it seems hardly likely that any player under $1000 would sound noticea...

Thanks for all your input. I’ve had Arcam FMJ CD23 and now I use Sony ES DVP-NS999ES.Arcam didn’t sound noticeably better than Sony and I needed an SACD player, so Arcam is long gone. In direct comparison, to my ears on my system, OPPO 103D sounds...

 Nobody cares about class T?People consider class T as in the same category with class D? 
Preamp to preamp
Thanks for all responses.Well, my question was not exactly based on my system.I have Plinius CD-LAD and recently acquired ARC LS3. I also have a Plinius M16P but it is in a shop for service. In comparison, I like LS3 (p1) better than CD-LAD (p2) e... 
Experience on replacing capacitors of SS preamp?
First, the preamp is old, second there is an audible hum even at the lowest volume. Also, I’ve read many glorious stories of old preamps sounding much better after recaps, so I want to give a try by myself.There are only 4 caps with + signs, so re... 
Experience on replacing capacitors of SS preamp?
The preamp is AR LS3.The schematic is available on line. https://www.vintageshifi.com/repertoire-pdf/pdf/telecharge.php?pdf=Audio-Research-LS3-LS3B-Schematic...There are 32 capicators. All of them need to be changed?
