Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
@ Coltrane1: "This is a troll question and insult to any audiophile." Well that is either a deliberate trolling post or just a very ignorant one.

bigkidz clearly has not heard SOTA class D and so is unwilling to comment on Mola Mola or Spec.

@bigkidz, so what is your opinion of Mola Mola and Spec for example, if you are still waiting to hear the great Class D sound?  
Amir and Blind Testing
I read ASR when I want a laugh. For someone to say you do not need to listen to a piece of equipment before buying it and also that the synergy of various components makes no difference is so funny. Seriously, the site is a joke.

If I were looking for a new amp, I would be looking at Mola Mola monoblocks.  
Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers?
Clearthinker, again you are not thinking clearly. ATC speakers use class A/B amps, not class D.

@ghdprentice  That said high quality floor standing speakers out perform active ones at this time. The folks at KII Audio would take offense in that statement 😊. I would have to agree with them.  Not just the folk at Kii, but also Dutch and ... 
Most beautiful turntable under $5k
For under 5000, Kuzma Stabi S. Nothing comes close at that price. For unlimited funds, I would be happy with a Stabi R and a 4 point 9 inch arm or for more a CSPort TAT 2M2  
Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned?

Verdantaudio, that is a great post. I was not aware that the Dream dac was releasing a new model with a streaming module. That is a game changer. The Dream dacs were designed by the a genius. I will need to listen to this new model as well. Thanks... 
Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more...
C of course.  
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
So you want to know what is better than McIntosh? Try Audionet Heisenberg, German Physiks Emperor. You like hybrids? Aethetix, Ypsilon. You like tubes? Doshi, Air Tight. Chinese? AM, Opera Consonance. Speakers? German Phyisks Bordeland, Borresson... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
I will ask again, as I did in a previous thread, how is saying that you do not like the sound some equipment makes or its style ridiculing the owners? This is an absurd connection to make. I have heard people say they do not like class D or they d... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
"If I currently owned Mac, I would certainly buy them." If the clock told the time as well as the amps played musically, you would be constantly late for any appointment.
