Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
I'm a big fan of the SONY TA-A1Es integrated amp,   Built like a tank and sounds amazing, can't believe how good it sounds for the price.  I thought Sony did a terrible job of marketing this amp, it should be far more well known than what it is.    
Polk R700
yes!  I think they are amazing, very hard to beat at this price.   seem to do very well with all source material.  My son has the R600 and that sounds great too

What the heck is the de-emphais do or what is that for?  Thanks   
NAD M10 vs Marantz Model 30
I have heard the Model 30 and it doesn't sound like Class D at all.    
Aesthetix Mimas Remote Setup
I am absolutely fed up with the remote for this amp.  So fussy, it doesn't work half the time.  I point it at my amp, nothing works, input select, volume, nothing.  Then I have to take out the Manuel and figure out if it is in transport mode or wh...

I think it just comes down to preference instead of what is "better". At this stage in the game for me, I value smoothness/ listenability and staging. I listen to a lot of post punk, classic rock, shoe gaze, and dream pop, which we know is not all...

Well, I tried to hook up a component to the Equi-Core and turned it on and the breaker associated with a couple outlets tripped and turned off all the power, tv, power, amp, lights and all.  sorry for taking up the thread for this, but there was n...

I was on the phone with Midwestern Audio and I thought he had me set it to fast filter.  Unless I heard him wrong which is possible.

Update on mine, not much to tell. I listened for a little bit but my main speakers are out of the system because I am burning in a pair of Polk R600s for my son. I have about 120 hours on mine. I had some Pink Floyd on, It sounds very detailed, ev...

lordmelton, yes, I after I hit the breaker switch the other day, I plugged everything into a power strip.  I was going to introduce one component at time back to the Equi-core but didn't get a chance.  I order a pair of Polk Audio R600s for my son... 
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
The plague for audiophiles is so much of this gear is so transparent and high resolution, it exposes a lot of our recordings into a listening experience that is not as we would like.  Probably what, 75% to 85% of recordings are not "audiophile".  ...

does the unit burn in  on standby mode?, because I was playing on sending a signal through mine 24/7 for about 3 weeks.

sns, my amp hasn't been plugged into the Euqi Core in months.  I was just commenting that the Equi Core handled everything including my amp with no trouble, I didn't clarify that it hadn't been in there in awhile.  It sounds way better out of the ...

yep, sound advice jc4649.  Thanks.

wait what, I don't want to unplug something just to get another unit started.up.  Forgive my ignorance, but I used to plug my power amp along with everything else into it an never had a problem but now it can't candle super capacitors out in a DAC?
