How long does Class A have?
What a dumpster fire this thread is luckily things on this site have gotten better since 2021.  
Audiocyclopedia
You can post a link to it here that's fine I'd be curious to check it out.  
Value of a preamp?
A good tubed preamp will greatly enhance your sound period.  
Quick System Building Pop Quiz:
For me it's 1 simply because I only have the space for 1 system. I'd love to have a 2nd system to tinker with. I own two streamers, two Dacs and two amps at the moment so I am most of the way there but no place to put it!

Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?

Announcement: Axiom Audio acquisitions of Bryston and Magnum Dynalab
Woah I am very surprised Bryston was for sale! Beyond that no real opinion on the matter.  
Easy Come Easy Go…….BOOM!
