What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On?
@aj523 , I love it. I’m really starting to think that several of the nice class the amps I owned before we’re not really given the best opportunity to perform as I did not leave them always on  
Have you heard the Goldring Ethos Cartridge?
Thank you @jorgjean  and @allenric .  I had a Goldring made, Roksan badged cartridge about a decade ago on a Roksan Radius turntable that I loved.  It punched about its price class.   
PrimaLuna tube amp issue
That is a heavy well built amp.  I owned one.  The sound you describe hearing right before the issue in the one channel happened was a soft pop, which is making me curious to hear what Upscale says.  I had a couple of small issues like this and t...

I like Hans too!    Thank you all for the positivity on this thread. Not a single snarky response.  Probably hard to be negative when Eva is the subject matter at hand!   
CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM 
@OP,  I like the rec by Mr. Bourne above.  How possible is it for you to keep two systems or have options open so you can go back and forth?  That may be something you aren't interested though.

Fair enough Mr.Skeptic!    
What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On?
Fair, Erik.  I nearly gave that amp away for a buyer friendly used price. I should've kept it and used it in a different system. It was a fine amp.  I just couldn't get it to sound right with my higher efficiency speakers.  Sounded great with the ...

You know, Erik, I'm wondering if my NAD M22 would have sounded better if I could've figured out how to disable it's auto standby feature, where it put the amp into semi sleep.  It wasn't supposed to be that hard, but I'm no longer good with tech o...

@mrskeptic , good point, but there are many here who know a good bit about amp topology, engineering and so on.   Maybe this site is too subjective for you?  Have you tried AudioScienceReview?  That's a special place over there. $500 Topping amps...

@steviet,  Thank you for this post.  The subject matter interests me as I am a bit of a tube head, but I bought the Ruby (both integrated and DAC/SACD) on sale from Music Direct--just had to try Ken Ishiwat's final piece, which he said was his gre...

@reubent , Good question.  I use Roon.  I built, per Roon's own directions (to the letter) a Roon Rock out of an Intel NUC CPU.  The total cost with RAM is about $300--wait, we are in an inflationary market!--I think I paid about $300 or so.   Th...

I'm guilty of giving her not enough attention before.  That is my mistake and my loss.  Wow. She was a natural talent.   I play music but am only average.  I can learn a lot of stuff with hard and focused practicing.  I've learned to sing way bet...

@wolverine1 , Thank you for veering a bit off topic! You are correct. I have skipped a few years and need to go in with my Irish-English pale skin.   
Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock
I love the product. I wish it was built with a better grounding scheme though. It’s 2022. It’s not 1955.
