| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? Is this DIY 8 watt amp a chip amp? What about the Nelson Pass First Watt amps, are they chip amps too?I'm looking for an inexpensive SS amp to go with my Museatex AVC-1 preamp. I have a PP EL84 amp already but don't want to run tubes all the tim... | |

| Looking for amp $1000 or under I've got Focal Chorus 807V's and while they are 92 db, they really like some power. I was running them with a high current 100 watt Muse 100 amp and it was very nice. You can pick up a Muse 100 for $4-500. For $1000 you can get a nice Threshold... | |
| Forte 1A or Threshold 400A I'd take the Threshold over the Forte or even a Threshold S200. I've actually never heard a Threshold amp before, but it's a Threshold - it can't suck, right? | |
| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? I'd get a couple of systems for $40K because I think that you can find really great used gear that sounds 90-95% as gear costing thousands more. CAT SL1 preamp approx $3500, Korneff 45 SET $1500Omega's, Zu's or Klipsch $2000Tandberg 3014 cassett... | |

| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? No, you ask questions next time around !!! Caveat Emptor! Before you drive all the way there, and trade him 2 of your units + cash for his unit, you ask questions, you find out about the gear you are acquiring! Please stop driveling on about th... | |
| New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp. Most of my sources don't have a remote so that's not a big issue for me.

| New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp. The Marantz is pretty high powered, you'll need to look at a KT88 or 6550 PP tube amp. If you look at Roger Modjeski's comments from his thread "ask an amp designer a question" I dont think he was so keen on Prima Luna's products. If you got a c... |
