| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? O.K. I'll bite and leaving "cool" aside.Kindly explain,if you have one amp that employs two separate amps in the same chassis utlizing individual power supplies,no sharing of transformer,no cross talk and the equivalent power output to both speake... | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? Second the "way cool" they,meaning the amps, may not soundbetter,but it's like the wire wheels on the Ferrari. | |
| tube pre amp plus solid state power amps? Crossed the Rubicon to the tube amp side in 04.Several times I went back and rotated in various ss and Class D amps,simply because I wanted to satisfy myself that I had made the right move.Biasing and a couple of blown tubes mixed in with my perfe... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? On contrary Al,the rationale for "source first" has and always will continue to make a whole lot of sense irregardless of what is downstream. | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? You might want to run that question by Tiger. | |
| W4S STI-1000 what IC and power chord? I'll share this with you and anyone else who is in the market for a PC.Audio Sensibility,www.audiosensibility.comI've auditioned,bought and sold many brand name PC's,never have I heard anything this good. | |

| Pre-Amp Match Yes if you can stret............ch your budget a Modwright 9.0SE. should float your boat. | |
| Aesthetix Collisto Signature or SLP 05 Preamp? Cary pre,Cary amp,there's a natural synergy there. | |
| Should I Try a Tube Preamp? Pouring funds into speakers will not resolve the short comings of electronics upstream,it will only accentuate the undesirable characteristics of your system you are trying to resolve. | |
| Should I Try a Tube Preamp? Upgrading the speakers isn't going to cut it.A pre amp is the heart and soul of a system,if you defer to buying more pricey speakers you will still have the same deficiences. | |
| battery-based SS amps My vote also for Red Wine.If you've got the resources the 70.2 mono blocks are very impressive. | |
| Should I Try a Tube Preamp? A tube pre will definitely provide a much needed improvement.If you can manage an extra several hundred you may want to consider an Audio Research LS 15/16.Excellent build quality at the price point. | |
| Audio Research REFII vs Classe? I believe the Classe will be a tad out classed. |
