I am a "fanboy" of some things like having some class but not others.

BTW I have a pair of very nice Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII monitors (top notch build quality and  drivers including Isotar tweeters) with matching Dynaudio stands that are sitting idle currently. I have been thinking about selling them to finance a p...

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Thanks guys.  Been taking a break from these parts but all  is well.      Papa, good to hear from you.   Maybe with the new ticker you'll be able to hear fuses even better now?  :^)

High End Amp Price Collapse musings
Good point. We’ll see what happens when it happens.One caveat though is Class D can be relatively inexpensive and high bang for the buck but there are still many Class D amps not any less than competition. Smaller and lighter maybe, but not even t...
