Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers
Look for the rare Pass Labs Aleph 0s (40W pure Class A)stereo power amplifier. This was one of the most natural sounding power amps I have ever heard. I am always looking for one ever since I heard the Pass Aleph 0s years ago. By the way the Pass ... 
Low-powered, class A, solid-state integrated amps
Look no further to Pass Labs Aleph 0s pure class A stereo power amp. The most amazing & conservative 40W amp you will ever hear. Good luck on trying to find one of these great amps, they are becoming rare as the dodo bird. In fact Nelson Pass ... 
pass aleph vs x series
The Pass Aleph power amps in general sound very natural and have great tonal balance accuracy verse the Pass X series. The Aleph 0s power amp is one of the best sounding amps I have ever heard in my lifetime. The Pass Aleph O's verse a Pass X250.5... 
Pass, Bryston, Audio Research, or McIntosh?
Mcintosh MC402 fits your bill. 400W into 8ohms/4ohms/2ohms. The Mcintosh MC402 is oh so super smooth and powerful. Quietest ss amp I have ever owned. A great bargain at $7K.The Pass X350.5 is a second choice but a bit noisier and bright in the upp... 
Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around
McIntosh MC402 is a very special sounding power amp. 
Bryston 14B-SST or Pass Labs X 350.5
I had owned a Pass Labs X350.5 previously and definitely a good amp. But do yourself a favor and just buy a McIntosh MC402 power amp. Once you hear the big McIntosh MC402 you will forget about the Bryston 14B-SST & Pass Labs X350.5. The McInto... 
McIntosh MC352 or MC402?
The McIntosh MC402 is the way to go. Tremedous resolution and great smooth top end. Has very natural midrange and explosive bass dynamics. True the MC252 is smaller brother to the MC402 but it's just like having more Horse Power. It's always a goo... 
Amplifier to go with a Mcintosh c2300
No Brainer.McIntosh MC402 is the perfect match for the C2300. The MC252 is smaller version of the MC402. The MC352 was released several years earlier and is not the same design technology verse the MC402 & MC252 
mc402 vs 501 monos vs mc 602 with B&W802d
Beg to differ saying the MAC MC402 barely has enough power at 400W to drive a pair of B&W 802D speakers. I own a pair of the big brother speakers of B&W 802D's the 800D's. The McIntosh MC-402 amp easily drives a pair of B&W 800D speake... 
Ayre C-5xe, Classe CDP-202, Marantz SA-7S1
Only 4 companies currently manufacture there own transprot.1-Phillips/Marantz/Magnavox, 2-Teac/Esoteric, 3-Matsushita/Panasonic 4-Sony Philips are the most innovators of both CD and SACD technology.Philips invented the hardware technology for both... 
Ayre C-5xe, Classe CDP-202, Marantz SA-7S1
Still to this date the best overall sounding and build quality for Marantz CD/SACD players is the original SA-1.Talking with Marantz America they told me the SA-1 was too expensive to manufacture, even at the $7500 msrp. The parts were too expensi... 
Warm Power Cord?
BMI Cables WHALE SUPREME MK.I or MK. II.Super smooth and robust sounding. Never ever bright 
Mordaunt - Short System 442 Speakers. SWEET
JoefamaStereophile also did a full glowing review of the Mordaunt Short System 442's. I forget what issue but around 1988/89.Plus need to mention there is a Canadian site called American Audio out of Ontario. They have been advertising a used pair... 
Mordaunt - Short System 442 Speakers. SWEET
The Mordaunt Short System 442 speakers were and still are great sounding speakers. I remember a Hi-Fi store near me was a Mordaunt dealer in the mid to late 1980s. They had a pair of 442's in there main show room and they were about $3K. The deale... 
Review: Threshold FET Two sII Preamplifier
Yes it would be interesting to hear that. At this high level it could come down to cables, synergy and personal taste. All I know is that Vintage Threshold still sounds great to me and many other serious audiophiles.Here is a cool Threshold Connos...
