Should I buy a Class A Amp.
This is just my opinion, but I think I have heard probably more amps than most people on here, having been in the high end business for 25 years.  Not much I haven't heard.The absolute best amps that I have owned and heard have been Class A amps. ...

Technics cassette deck records automatically when pressed play
Czarivey has good advice, but he has #1 backwards: Opposite the working edge is the "tab edge" or the edge that has two small "knockout" tabs set into place. When the tabs are in place, they depress a small pin-like mechanism in the left rear of t... 
Item not working properly
Was the item working during the 2-weeks in his possession, if so, it just bad luck for the buyer as this is the risk you accept when buying used. .   brf...very well said.  Totally agree. 
Item not working properly

Amps for Primaluna Dialogue Premium Preamp
Here would my choices.  Just my opinion, but I do have extensive knowledge and experience with all these choices.1.  Parasound JC-1 Mono.  These would be a little more than your budget used.  Around $4000-$4500, but well worth the extra money.2.  ...

You really need to match the amp(s) to your speakers, more than the preamp.  What speakers do you have?

Amp's Line-Out to Subwoofer?
tls49 is correct, if this is a fixed line out.  However, I really doubt that it is.  It wouldn't make any sense to make it a fixed output?I would indeed get a hold of Music Hall to make sure. 
Amp's Line-Out to Subwoofer?
Yes that would work.  Whatever sub you get will most likely have all of the crossover and level controls that you would need to match your speakers.All the line out is doing is sending a full range signal, (controlled by the volume control) to the...
