CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Ditto for a pair of CA-400 I have. No complaints here!I have heard of Krell bashing, but Classe bashing..... ? This is new! 
Any opinions on Classe Preamps?
Jinmvt,SSP-50 I like for movies and listening to TV in my Surround set-up. I was planning on to sell my CP-45 when I got SSP-50, but listening back to back for stereo, both run balanced mode using same cables. CP-45 WAS MUCH MORE SATISFYING. SSP-5... 
Any opinions on Classe Preamps?
CP-45 is one gem of a pre-amp. Cp-50 pales in comparision. Cp-60 is only slightly better in terms of transperancy, but musicality across the full band, CP-45 is more complete package, for a very low price. I have SSP-50, which is CP-50, and I stil... 
Classe' amps
Abecollins, I just came back from a Business trip(stranded in Houston)and here is my reply: The fact that I have still kept CP-45 after aquiring SSP-50, simply CP-45 is much better in musical and lifelike presentation package. SSP-50 in comparisio... 
Classe' amps
I, too, am fond of Classe amp and all their gear in general. Started with CDP.3 ( BEST CD PLAYER FOR THE PRICE BY THE WAY), CP-45, CA-200 4 Years ago.Current Classe Inventory boasts the following:CDP.3 (stiil great)CP-45CA-400CA-400( Yes two CA-40... 
Leave it on or turn it off?
Unless you have surge protector. But still every time the hair dryer is turned on upstairsm the loud humming noise from turned on amp scares the hell out of me. I turned my stuff on about 1 hr before listening session. 
What equipment do you really like?
Dunlavy VI's. Currently have V's, II's and I. Although V's do almost everything right, just knowing there is bigger and better(?) model out there make me lust after them.On the amp/pre amp side there is this mystique about mark Levinson electronic... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
I also enjoy a lot of classical pieces mentioned above. But let me go aginst the grain here. I think 'the future sound of london's work notably ' life forms' and ' dead cities( later part)'are the electronic music's classical equals. Full of intri... 
Your Recommendations Please
Try Hancock's 'Dis is D drum' Very funky, lots o drum. Okay recording 
Hate to ask......
Alright Angela100, cough up the name of the DVD. Let us find out what Tim is made of. 
Have you "lied" to yourself?
Felthove, I recently bought another CA-400 amp and use it with my existing CA-400 as monoblocks-I was on power trip. Was thinking look at thoes big ass Monsters, a la Krell Monoblocks. Listened for two weeks imagining great improvement, but was mi... 
How is your integrated system set up?
Have 2 Channel preamp Classe-cp45. Have HT processor,Classe SSP-50. SSP-50'S main out goes in to Tape-in of CP-45. When tape-loop is off, SSP-50 is isolated and CD player input are in balance input mode and so forth. Simple. 
Hate to ask......
Don't HATE it but don't get too obsessed about as much as two channel sound. I did get High end units for HT Set-up. Classe SSP-50, Dunlavy II's for rear and I for Center (mains are Dunlavy V'S), Classe CAV-150 amp driving only center channel, Rea... 
Pet Stories
Perfect post to defend my not getting a dog or cat for my 4 and 12 year daughters. Their first choice for a birthday gift is always a pet! My Dunlavy's V are the reasons for my reluctance. Thanks guys! 
Any advise to improve my system
Speakers I agree, but I would try balanced Ic between CD and Pre-amp if the DVP has the feature.
