| Line conditioner - how much power do I need? Hi, Aggielaw:Are your amp and pre-amp solid state or tube? If solid state, a PS Audio P500 will be plenty. The tube components are what demand high continuous watts.Best wishes.Jay | |

| Integraded Amp Good integrateds don't have tone controls as a general rule. You're lucky if it has a balance knob. | |
| SS Int Amps, $1500-5k choices ?? Sim Audio I-5 is a good choice. Plenty of power. Built like a tank. Closer to tube sound than most solid state integrateds. Lots of rave reviews. Suggest you look for a used I-5, since they're reliable. But buy from a seller with good feedback.Goo... |
