Gbmcleod,Interesting to hear your response but you discussed cdps and the subject is on the amps.As this entire posting reveals, it's all about synergy. The best sounding amps and/or cdps is the one you like in your system, in your room, and w/ yo... 
Bewitch A-30 tube amp? _ Puresound A-30 tube amp?
Tblewy,It tool a while to hear from someone who had one. A heartfelt thanks. I've notices all gear, including tubes takes a while to settle in. Do you still own it or have you moved on. 
New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition
Sounds like there was a voltage adjustment off the recommended spec. I had a vintage HK amp where one channel was very hot. After I adjusted the internal pots it was normal.

Chrisr,Heat generated from a power amp is not necessarily an indication that there is something wrong with an amp. Your amp may have been biased toward class "A", though I don't remember if my 5400 II ran hot or not. You have not experienced a SS ... 
Review: Denon dp-500m Turntable
My mistake. I read on another forum that it is made by Stanton...bummer! 
Review: Denon dp-500m Turntable
I think the VTA is adjustable by the ring at the tonearm base. This TT seems as it may be made by Technics. Maybe an SL-1200 arm too. What does any one else think. I like it.

So what is your point? That $$ don't always translate into sound quality. What about system synergy too. Lots of variables, Chris. 
What is the Phono stage you have finished with?
I use the versatile PS Audio GCPH and I have no complaints what so ever, now that I settled on the correct interconnect and power cord combo in my system.

Great choice, and definitely worth the extra money. It has a very organic sound that is captivating and involving.CA gear, like some other brands, might be bright w/ the wrong cabling, speakers, etc. Because of a bad mix of gear, is why some folk ...

My experience listening to Dynaudio speakers and other manufacturers that use Dynaudio drivers, as well as discussing these speakers w/ sales staff has indicated that they do there very best w/ high quality amplification w/ deep bass, and outstand... 
Denon DP-47F arm return problem? Help needed
Thanks Pascal from France. I believe your correct that it is a voltage adjustment. I should have tried re-calibrating it, but on a whim sold it as a defective unit. My mistake. Mike from USA 
What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio
Another good choice! 
Technics SL 1100A & Sl 1210MK2 ToneArm Upgrades
It is not an uncommon practice to use this arm board to mount a Rega or Origin tonearm on a SL-1200 TT. Don't know about a 1100a. Does it have a removeable arm? I'd contact the arm adapter manufacturer.
