| Anybody heard of CEC I think of Austilia? CEC is a Japanese company. I think the most recent issue of UHF (great Canadian hifi magazine) tested the CEC integrated amp, with positive results. The class A is only the first 25 watts or so, I think. CEC is also the maker of the belt-drive CD ... | |

| Where does your user name come from? Cool,long running thread. My user name sounds like I stuck a number in front of my name to differentiate from others of the same name, but the "50" actually means FIVE-OH, as in Ford Mustang 5.0L. The other crazy hobby that is a blackhole for hard... | |
