Looking for a SS amp for Goldenear References
Buy a Topping PA5 ($349). Superior sound and way more powerful than the overpriced Carver 275. The 275 is a real dog of an amp and does not meet its specs. It is a disgrace that Bob Carver puts his name on this piece of junk!

The buying public will decide what to buy - and what companies will disappear. That's the way the audio business has always been. Look what happened to Nakamichi and AR. Now reduced to "lifestyle" products!

So your stylus sails through this pressing defect? No problem then about damaging the stylus or blowing up your amp!

A second or two of distortion near the end of side two! Surely you can live with it! Is this an original pressing or reissue?   
Chip amps, not spoken about much, except on the diy sites.
Buy the new Topping PA5 amp ($349). ASR rates it just below the $3K Benchmark AHB2! It is 56wpc@8ohms, 83wpc@4ohms. It is a Class D chip amp designed by a very competent team. No preamp needed because it has a front panel stereo pot. Go to ASR and...
