OK, OK.First of all, if you can see through the beer it is no good.I tried Guiness (tall cans) but found Beamish (tall cans) work better.Go figure.

Marakanetz, please report back with the correct kind of beer and how much to leave in the can.

Amp recommendations: Wanted, Bass and Dynamics
I agree with Tok20000; 1) Do not expect low freq control with the Monarchy se100 monos and 2) That the Krell runs too hot.I disagree with Winoguy17 about the McCormack DNA. I find the sound too similar to the sound of the Marsh 400s. (I just don't... 
Tube Pre for Digital Amp
Audible Illusions 3 pre-amp with PS Audio HCA-2 amp has displaced my Threshold amp. 
It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp
I don't know. I've elected to leave everything on. I'm sure everything will last longer, especially the tubes. (No heat-up/shrinkdown). I acquired this habit from being an audio engineer prior to being an audiophile. Every studio, busy or not, kep... 
What DAC's have a USB input?
Sogood1 - I'm wondering if Chord, Krell, and other high-end audiophile DAC's have started to incorporate a USB input. A list of USB to optical (or coax) converters would also help. Thanks for responding.

All three Tim Curry solo albums (the "Best Of" doesn't cut it).And again, Buckingham-Nicks.The early Dumptruck albums (as in "D is for Dumptruck").Bernie Taupin "Tribe".I'm sure I'm missing A LOT of others. 
NJ Audio Society?

Seeking Great Cool Runnin' SS Amp...
I'm surprised the PS Audio HCA-2 isn't mentioned more. It is completely transparent and never runs out of driving power. I think it sounds better than the Bel Canto's I've heard. And it costs much less. Oh yeah, it's always cool to the touch.
