Class D Technology
Murgesh what clas d setups have you heard? Why assume that what you heard is indicative of all cases? That’s called jumping to conclusions. My experience is the exact opposite of yours. The c5i is in fact a digital Class D integrated amp ( not jus...

There is absolutely no fatigue with the C5i driving any of my speakers including some that are documented to potentially lean that way with the wrong amp.

George you conveniently forgot to mention some think the sound including the high frequencies are quite good and not flawed.  Lets not selectively filter feedback just to help make a case.   Im listening to my Bel Canto C5i Class D integrated with... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
Where else can you buy super high end bed springs for less than the cost of a high end fuse? 
Why pay so much for super high end?
Because it’s super high end? 🤔 You were expecting?Sound aside that infers a high degree of unique craftmanship as well as technical execution. It’s the whole package that matters.  Service and support as well.   Not just the sound. 
Why pay so much for super high end?
I guess people think it's worth it.   Also margins must be high to make profit in boutique industry.   It's that simple.  
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
That's getting to be your calling card, the demand for data. Funny when it comes from someone who obviously doesn't understand data. Or even the concept. Maybe you and Moopman can commiserate over a couple of beers.Its so funny how you actually...

Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Uh, wouldn’t that make you the queen? No for two reasons:1) I do not dabble in nor profit from pseudo-science. You proudly do.2) I do not swing that way but if you do, there is nothing wrong with that. 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
That from the king of woo and pseudo science..... 
Class D Technology
Class A particularly when no NFB used tends to have a somewhat warmer sound.I have not heard Class D that I would call an inherent warm  sound, in fact not warm at all, however if a touch of warmth  is what one seeks a tube pre-amp upstream can he... 
Samsung buys Harman for $8B
Harman already sells very nice sounding Bluetooth speakers for use with phones and other Bluetooth enabled devices.  
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Hmm, well there are Good Vibrations ( as per Beach Boys, sorry could not resist) and bad ones. We all get to pick and choose. Or not.I’ve been to Carnegie Hall. Some good vibrations there these days for sure, at least what I heard at Dress Circle ... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Isolating speakers (transducers are always by nature a prime source of vibrations) and associated vibrations from interacting with floors when needed makes a major difference in the room acoustics and resulting sound. Absolutely no debate there. I...

Harmon has been making some nice products.   I hope that continues.
