What does Current mean in a power amp???
Sean, Indeed Plinius gear(listened in several setups) is worm and musical. The situation you're describing I heard with Merylin speakers but than again I've never heard Merylins soft or musical.SA-100 has a large range of operating in class A(upto... 
Cartridge For Music Hall MMF-5? Which one to use?
I would suggest to stay with Goldring cartridges for Music Hall. Find yourself affordable one among in this line. Also you can try www.needledoctor.com to find out if the replacement styli is available for your cartridge. 
What amp is best?
If you want to start with 2ch serious listening than you ought to get an integrated Unison Unico(free trial or for a misurable price for a week or so) or Plinius 8200.

Plinius SA100 IMO is a champ. 
What does Current mean in a power amp???
Nikki, Brystons arn't bad at all as a budget amps having a huge 20Yr transferable warranty but I heard from many people that they can't drive the speakers that have impedance falls lower than 4Ohms -- they start to clip. 
Good moving magnet or cheap moving coil
Maxgain, I used this cartridge for just enough hours to break it in and than sold due to the desire of more live music from my vinyls.Maybe I did not provide enough experimentation with it in terms of VTA but the only differences I heard is at ext...

Sean, the equation I've mentioned is not as simple and yes, this equation is being used to specify the speaker impedance curve in responce to any particular freequency. The reactance is a directional part of an overall impedance and resulting vect... 
Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe
if you can't stretch to plinius SA250 you can get SA100 which will bring you everything you've just stated into your speakers. 
Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe
arn't we talking about two different price levels?i would add plinius sa250 in that list which is superior to them both. 
What does Current mean in a power amp???
...now we're speaking in full engineer terms but let me clarify further:First, we need to understand further the concept of IMPEDANCE rather than RESISTANCE. In case with DC we call it RESISTANCE. In case with AC we call it IMPEDANCE since it has ... 
Bright room, help
You can hang rug on the wall behind where the speakers stand. Also placing a rug on the floor where the rig stands will be also as helpful.

Nikki..., Let me be straight forward on how good watts are different from bad ones...If you for example take a look on professional power amps such as Carver highly regarded by DJs available at RadioShack stores, you can see and feel that it has a... 
Is there an easy to use vcr?
I used to have RCA VCR with minimal controls and very darn simple that I bought in 1994. It's already a candidate for the donation in not working order. I now use Sony which is far more complicated but basic functions are all the same since stone ... 
Good moving magnet or cheap moving coil
I used Sumiko BPS and found this cartridge not realy sencitive to VTA unless you go for extreams and I can assume that the author of this discussion is using mm settings for this cartridge which is entirely right.This cartridge has everything from... 
What does Current mean in a power amp???
refere to ohm's law:P = U*I = U*U/R.where P is power, U is voltage and I is current.If you have 8Ohm speakers than the current passed during the maximum power transfer of 100W/ch amp will be approximately 3.7A basing on above relationships.Researc...
