| What is this feature? I don't know the name of the feature, but I've encountered it in two different versions. When my Classe CAP-101 powered up, the volume would reset to zero and a 10-second countdown ensued before it could be increased. With the Wyred4Sound STI500-I... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert,Thanks for the tip about Julia Fischer playing Bach’s Partita in D Minor. I airplayed it on my home theater system (don’t have streaming on my main stereo rig) and thought it elegantly and beautifully played. I’m going to look for other r... | |
| Best bourbon? Michter’s Small Barrel bourbon. A step (or two) above Maker’s, Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek, Woodford, Russell’s, Basil Hayden’s, even Blanton’s (my former favorite). Terrific for sipping straight, with a splash or a rock, and great for mixed drinks ... | |
| Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s? A couple of quick points:1) I googled “Wyred4Sound STI Ohm” (without the quotation marks) and found a thread on AudioKarma System Building discussion about Ohm speakers and Wyred amps that had favorable comments and no negative ones.

| Super integrated vs equivalent +$$ for new main system +1 for Tweak1’s suggestion of the W4S. Recently bought 500 STI v2 from W4S because I could get the black one there. It sounds great with my older Harbeth M30s. | |

| Late Night Jazz At late night, when I listen to jazz, I most often listen to piano, either solo or with one other instrument. In addition to some of the albums listed in previous responses, here are long-time favorites and some that I've been enjoying recently:Ah... | |

| Any SS amp recs in the 1-2k price range? If you like Wyred4Sound, take a look at the STI 500 v2 or the STI 1000 v2, both on clearance at the company's website and, I think, Underwood Wally's. These are integrateds that easily meet your power requirements, are comfortably within your budg... | |
| Help!! Trying to get Kef LS50 wireless to play nice with Sony Hap-Z1es.... Would you please post follow-ups as you try to resolve this problem? The combination of the KEF and the Sony is one that I'm thinking about, and this issue is a significant deterrent. Thanks. | |
