What amps are out there that are Class A, 50 wpc into 8 ohms?
Anything over 30-40 watts being sold as Class A is not pure class A, it’s class A biased. And the majority of the amps mentioned here are good examples. If Pure Class A is what you’re after (sounds alot better) don’t waste time with most of the am... 
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
@richdirector   Well said! I do tend to agree with this..I’ve spent the last 25 years fiddling with digital analyzing the results which in the end is losers game. I leaning to the P10 at this point. I just put in the newest Van Alstine phono s...

@rsf507  it still has full adjustment available without any added complexity of the P-Mount detachable headshell.  The Tonearm on the P10 is alot of the reason it's still on my list.

@pindac      What is a DD TT?

@rsf507  Elaborate on that comment. The hana fits with no shims. Cartridge alignment is like any table where you adjust into it. So what is it you are referring to with that comment? Are you suggesting if I use a cart other than a Rega it will no...

@tablejockey    I'd at least like the option to change carts once in a great while..Also the Hana doesn;t need to be shimmed so I think it comes down personal preference. But why do you think those carts will be less fuss than a another cart tha...

Thanks for all the advice...I am coming around to the idea of set and forget, and the cart I want doesn't need shims. I figure I can always tinker with phono stages. Might be a good thing one less thing to mess with and spend more money on!  Now ...

@rwanda    What cart are you running on your Kuzma? In full disclosure part of the issue for me is the dealer who sold me my current table, which is a year old, is giving me close to full trade towards Rega or Feickert, he does not sell Kuzma. S...

@dcevans    Thanks for the information, very helpful. I keep vacillating back between the tables leaning more towards Feickert as my dealer will sell me his lightly used demo with a Schick. I still like the P10 for the slam dunk value it offers ...

@karl_desch    How is your friend liking the P10?   
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
thanks...Ok let's throw a curve ball into the mix. Let's add Feickert into this. Woodpecker with a Shick.Which of the three do you like?   
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Thanks! Do you have it all set up yet? How are you liking it?    Yes this is my stopping point on the P10 just the fact you can't tinker with it later, almost zero upgrade path outside of another cart or isolation tinkering. How did you like the...

Yes you are correct..Not sure if that power supply regulator is necessary out of the gate but in the process of finding out.    I am not sure one is really lights out better than the other when it comes to sound, just comes down to details of wh...

Thanks for the responses guys..Yeah my issue that is holding me back right now is the Stabi offers a better upgrade path if I want to change Tonearms etc where the P10 is more closed system and you have to modify with shims for carts outside their...
