Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there?
Out of disk space maybe? 
Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers?
I'm not thinking of building any in the near future but very interested in learning from what others have done.

Schubert, I did a Princeton sponsored summer field course one summer while at Rutgers. I was somewhat the sweat hog in that crowd but did OK. 
Jazz for aficionados
One of My FavoritesA simple yet incredible performance. Impossible for anyone to listen to this and not be moved I would think. Is it jazz?

B, I think excellent recommendations from Guidocorona. I know he has a big interest in Class D amps and probably has actually heard and spent time comparing the most of just about anyone I am aware of in these parts.

OK Guido, now you've accelerated my desire to add a pair of pangea ac9 cords to my amps to go with the AC14ses on my line level gear.I guess it never ends. :^}

One other thing I would note about Class D amps is that they typically seem to have very high damping factors. That will play well with larger speakers taht can benefit with more control of the driver movements as a result of the high damping fact...

Xt explained it pretty well I would say. THe Wikipedia article is a good one and highlights key advantages and disadvantages of each.The main advantage of Class D is its efficiency, and often a resulting smaller package. Class D amps are a practic...

In my system pic, you will notice that I do keep my amps on their own stand physically separated from other line level gear to help insure against noise. Can only help and not hurt. One can always experiment either way to see if it makes a differe...

Whoops in response to question 2, I do plug my amps into a different wall outlet from the rest of my gear mostly as a convenient way to utilize the outlets I have available. My line level gear plugs into a conditioning strip and my amps plug into ...

I can only offer my experiences in my case. Different products may always behave and perform differently.Do digital amps benefit from being left on 24/7in the same way the ss amps do?I don't notice too much difference in teh sound quality either w... 
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
REb, one other question I am curious about. Did your amp go louder at Sebrofs before clipping than at home with the Ref 3as? I would expect at least that assuming use with the more efficient speakers. Whether or not one amp rated a few watts highe... 
Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
Reb, does Brian agree at this point that the test you did with the problem tracks at Sebrof's with yours versus his amps confirms a problem? They are two different amp/designs for example. Frequency response differences in teh lower octaves alone ... 
Woofer placement near floor-benefits?
There is something to be said for speaker placement near the floor in general in terms of both reinforcing bass compared to otherwise and minimizing effects of sound reflected from the floor in general. In general, floor reflections add nothing us...
