Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best
Thank god, now I can listen to my M60s and not worry about it:) 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Very cool. I'll be calling:) 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
This feels a bit like grade inflation where half the class gets As. 
Decware - any substance here?
Hope you enjoy :) 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
That's good, I thought the Slagle AVC was preferable to the S&B TVC - though in both cases exteremely good, and very high value given the quality of their performance.Anthony, is the voltage adjustable OTL preamp on the website yet? Sounds lik... 
Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k?
Well, you know have several years worth of speakers to audition:)

Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best

You should go to AudioCircle and join the Music Reference forum, you'll find lots of answers to your questions, and a possible reply from Roger himself, or Music Reference lunatics that know the equipment well.http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?...

Old Testament only.

Not sure what Roger did from I to II, but I do know that he does makes this changes unless they are real and substantial, so as Clio9 says, that might very well be a worthy improvement - the RM9 is a classic, might as well go to MKII.
