New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier

All NEW Klipsch Jubilee Horn Speakers !... Game Changer ?...

Any GAIA users on carpet?  I know Isoacoustics sells as an option what the call carpet discs (or something similar) that the footers rest on.Wondering if they work as well on carpet as on hard floors? 
Class D for a Tube Lover
I own an Audio Research DSI200 class D integrated amp, circa 2010. Beautiful tube-like sound. You can find them used for $2.5k-ish. Real Audio Research sound. Runs super cool. 200watts to 8 ohm. It’s the only solid state integrated amp ARC ever ma...

Good call MC on Wilson Audio in Utah! 
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so
I swear I read it somewhere in a review also but now I can’t find it. Stereophile review also shows cover off view with fans visible blowing right thru heat sinks. I’d guess they aren’t audible - was kinda joking about hearing the fans hummingplus... 
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so
There are. See bottom right of cutaway view. Either two or three fans. Plus I remember reading a review (trying to find the review) that mentioned the fans.  But anyway the review below clearly shows the fans. https://www.absolutesounds.com/pdf/ma... 
Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE?

Luxmans 509 and 590 under 10k destroy the krell. The krell has two fans. I don’t want to listen to fans humming along

Since this thread started (Sept 2020), who has purchased one of these big dog integrated amps (say, $20k or above msrp), what comparisons did you make before purchasing, and which integrated was the runner up that just lost out to your eventual ch...
