| Anyone heard of DK design group? This amp is made in China.There's a slightly used one listed on AG right now.The owner seems to suggest that it leans a tad more to the tube side than the SS side which can be good if that is where you want/need to take your system. | |

| Used Plinius, Simaudio, or Mcintosh integrated??? Try the Vecteur I-4 or I-4.2 if you canAbsolutely stunning. | |
| Threshold S/5000e new amp too good to be true??? Anyone have a listen to this amplifier yet? | |
| Focus Audio Classic Heh Nick,The FC-70's are only 2.5hours away from youBring your source/pre/amp and have a listen. | |
| GMA Europa discontinued? So the Europa will continue to be produced then.I hope so, as I own this speaker and have not heard anything that can touch it for under $1500. The virtual absence of the typical "boxy" sound of wood enclosed speakers really let these speakers dis... | |

| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion I heard a prototype amp based on Slone's OPTI-MOS amplifier circuitry in my system. It was class AB with some level of NFB. It was the most transparent amp with superb Bass control and decent treble extension that I have heard in my system. It did... | |

| Ayre V5X, Sim Moon W5 vs. BC-28. I might have used a bit too strong of words or been generalizing a bit. The weakness in the BC28 was in the bass (a bit too round versus more controlled), & a slight lack of transperancy. I did not have my Europa's at that point so I could not... | |
| Ayre V5X, Sim Moon W5 vs. BC-28. You may want to consider the BC26 as well if you are stuck on Blue Circle. I had the BC28 and it was a good amp. It gave the best of tubes and SS (but the worst of both as well). The BC28 definitely was a step above the NAD370 I had a year and a h... | |

| Threshold S/5000e new amp too good to be true??? Ozfly,I checked with Threshold and the S5000/e has 45 watts per channel of Class-A before it switches to Class-B.45wpc of class-A is very high bias for most class A/B amps.That's why it runs so HOT.You gotta wonder if there is enough heat sinking ... | |
| Threshold S/5000e new amp too good to be true??? It's possible that the Threshold runs hot because of a high class-A bias. having said that, then *maybe* it should have larger heat sinks. Theshold has a history of producing class-a amps.The Bryston has a relatively low class-A bias (less than on... | |
| BAT vk-60 vs. Cary V12r IMHO the BAT will be more dynamic and have tighter bass where the Cary will be smoother, more rounded and more on the lush side if that's what your are looking for.For rock & upbeat/fast music = BAT VK-60For vocals & slower jazz = Cary V12... |
