| Recommended amplification? Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally got an amp! I bought a Parasound HCA1000A amp and a P/HP-850 pre-amp here on Audiogon. Thanks for everybody's input! | |
| Recommended amplification? Rgodin, what then is a more legitimate price to expect? | |
| Recommended amplification? Any more suggestions? | |
