Class D is just Dandy!
Different strokes for different folks, as is always the case. I owned many amps over the years and my newest Class D amps are the best. Saved me from going the tube amp route. Benefits are greatest for those that favor smaller speakers with extend... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I will have to remember to keep an eye out now for used gear advertised as smeared with goo.  What impact will it have on the value I wonder? 
Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?
If most normal people think one is nuts, one probably is. 
Are the Mods handling these forums as well as they could be? How can we help them?

Shopping at Goodwill anyone?
My Goodwill had a nice pair of JM Lab tower speakers in good condition for $100 recently.  I was tempted but have more speakers than I probably really need already.   You never know what might pop up....

Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
One of the biggest problems with integrated amps historically is proximity of internal components, for example, and in particular, noise levels resulting from proximity of a power transformer to the low level pre-amp circuitry and even worse lower... 
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
dill,That’s why I asked for his thoughts. I would reconsider that specific amp design requirement perhaps if needed and just listen to the results delivered to decide. It just might solve the problem. C5i proved to me finally that a small reasonab...
