Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
@jeffreyw  Thanks for the advice.  I may want to upgrade my speakers sometime and I would like an amp that can drive my future speakers without having to upgrade the amp ... again.  
Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
I bought my Sonus Faber speakers at Audio Concepts in Dallas.  They sell Luxman, D'Augostino, Boulder, McIntosh, Naim and Moon by Simaudio. I'll have to try and see if they can set me up with a direct comparison using my speakers.  
Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
I appreciate the replies. I have heard a friend’s Class A PBN amp (not integrated). I liked the sound I heard but yes, it would nice to do a direct comparison.. I don’t know how much power it puts out in Class A and I asked him and he doesn’t kno... 
I stream 24/7. Do you?
I wish I kept Tidal.  Went to Qobuz for the free trial and didn't cancel it time so I'm stuck with it for a year..  My  bad.   I hate Qobuz's playlists and they have too many gaps.    
Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem??

@vonhelmholtz I agree that the reason I’m trying to sell these is my own fault but what’s so crazy about trying to identify the transformers so I can properly list them for sale? You don’t think some DIY'er  would be interested in them?

The Rogue I bought used many years ago and had nothing but problems with it.  I got tired of sending it back or have the Rogue technician walk me through troubleshooting with a meter.   Latest was a channel went out and I attempted to replace the...

@helomech  How are those other small companies at maintaining communication with customers?

  @oddiofyl  Sweet on the music collection you came into. Enjoy!

@oddiofyl The Sutherland is really my first phono pre that I wouldn’t consider "budget". It’s not over-priced but I had the Lounge LCR MkIII plus Copla and the MoFi Studio not to mention the built in tube phone pre in my Rogue Model 99 Magnum. ...

@sokogear  No on the LPS but that could be a future upgrade.  Can you use the LPS with any of the other Sutherland's?

Robert has chimed in over at the Hoffman site and still some posters are forcing me to defend my actions.  I'm glad he took the time to post.  I just wish he would take the time to go through and answer his emails and this wouldn't have been nece...
