Review: Rogue Audio Cronus Tube amp
Is this the same as the Rogue Atlas amp or is it a different model? 
Musical Fidelity A5 CD player - long
I have been testing an A5 player over the week-end. Everything is hunky dory except when I played the Telarc 1812 track, the sound of the triangles became very weak and almost non-existent. Has anybody noticed that and know why? 
Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60?
Have you tried out the Proac Response 1.5 ? Looks like you are limited to some efficient designs due to the 60 watts power of the B60 and that you have a catheral ceiling! 
Best Amp/Preamp for Sonus Faber Concertino-Please
Any reasonably well designed amp/pre-amps would drive the Concertinos nicely. The key is in fine tuning the type of sound to your liking by choosing the right type of cablings and treating your listening environment appropriately. 
Classe CP50 or CP47.5?
I believe the CP50 came out about five years ago together with the Classe CA line of power amps. Those were the days when Classe products held up the best performance/dollar values. Since the introduction of Omega and the CA 01 series of power amp...

Do i get the old or new Classe amps?
If you want to decide between a CA200 and a CA201, go with the CA200. I had it confirmed by the sales manager for Classe that the major difference between the two is cosmetic.( that explains why the price for the 201 has not gone up from the 200 !... 
Thoughts on using two Classe CA 300's
I was once talking to Classe on the same question. They recommended VERTICLE BI-AMPING over BRIDGING them into monos. 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Kevziek, I did do my homework. I had been a CA200 owner for more than 4 years and I recently upgraded to the CAM350's. Before I did the upgrade, I discussed the new 01 line-ups with Classe's sales manager. What I said yesterday was exactly what th...
