| Stacking Components Not a good idea as far as heat is concerned, but also bad for sonics. Each piece should have its own vibration draining feet or platform of our choice. The difference is audible. | |
| Still room for Class A / AB amps with proper heatsinking, Class D for subwoofer All over the place... | |
| McIntosh- Sweetest, Smoothest sounding Solid State ? Yes, the Sugden amps have an organic sound, especially the Masterclass. | |
| Boutique/custom vs production tube linestages I'm always curious about this too. Is it all just different flavors of ice cream, or are there boutique brands that are making gear that is clearly better than more famous marques? | |
| McIntosh- Sweetest, Smoothest sounding Solid State ? None that I can tell, but others will have a different opinion. The Mac amps that I have tried without autoformers sounded thinner overall, and less solid in the bass. | |
| QStab NSE CD Stabilizer/ Highly Recommended for Jay's/Avatar CD Transport! What's the price? | |

| And My Budget Is... Good thoughts chayro. I agree, and within the limits of what it's possible for me to spend, I always leave the door open for spending more if it's warranted. I have always believed in the old saying about never regretting that you bought the best. | |
| Decent 25' Cable Kimber 12tc is not bright. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality That's sad. Why do so many praise streaming then? I guess it's for the convenience. | |
| McIntosh- Sweetest, Smoothest sounding Solid State ? sid42,It's a popular pastime. I'm surprised that George hasn't weighed in yet to say how the autoformers are there to "fix" a defective design. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Let everyone go to streaming. I will continue to happily scoop up their unwanted CD's at goodwill gfor pennies on the dollar, just as other people did years ago with LP's. | |
