Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
Yeah.   Car audio is responsible for the ability of speakers to handle highpower.   Right   Small drivers, that can handle higher power came about when higher power solid state amps became a viable option as opposed to the lower powered tube... 
Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
The two most expensive parts of a solid state power amp? The chassis, and the power supply. It’s a cost thing.    Now, as I’m about to build a single ended EL34 power amp, I plan to put the power supply in a separate chassis. Mainly for noise i...

Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
It would seem, at that price, you won’t have any difficulty selling it should it not suitably impress once set up in your system. Keep the current set up so you can do a direct comparison and then sell which ever one is the “lesser” rig.   Its a...

@erik_squires  Too bad. More I think about it, the more it seems like an incomplete idea   FWIW, listening to Talking Heads, and it sounds fantastic! Night and day compared to War.

@erik_squires  And great, now I have to pull out my copy of stop making sense… Also a 1st UK pressing.   
Is a highly discerning system enjoyable?
@erik_squires  Could be so very much better sounding. I get the raw quality to the production. But there is something very engaging by the layering of the sounds in the mix. So that kind of brings the raw quality of the production into question, ... 
Is a highly discerning system enjoyable?
Got home after a few days away. Yes, got my copy of War out and listened to it on the current set up. So much missing in the production. Preferred it in the car… Tried listening to it on two different systems. My main set up, as well as on a vi...
