Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio
Pick one with a 30 day return policy and don't buy in to the break in talk. If they needed to be broken in the amp maker would do this in advance.  
Class D is just Dandy!
This part was eye opening. S&V: Generally speaking, what are the key benefits of Class D versus the traditional Class AB and Class A designs that have long been favored by audiophiles? BP: Efficiency and therefore the ability to construct amps... 
Class D Technology
I never expected Bruno Putzey (inventor of UcD & Ncore) to answer the question of this thread, but he did in a very candid Sound & Vision interview. S&V: Generally speaking, what are the key benefits of Class D versus the traditional C... 
Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?
Ohm Walsh 1000, halo integrated or best tube amp you can afford  
Naim Nait 2 vs. Rega Mira 3
Update. I have tried several amps to replace the Nait 2 and have found none that I like better. Tried Sugden, Lavardin, and several others. What other amps have you tried? 
Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
My last 2 purchases have been among my favorite stupid-good buys:APPJ PA0901A - $190Fleawatt Audio TPA3116D2 - $250The sound quality at this price point is just ridiculous. How would you compare the fleawatt to the APPJ?  
Time for Two Ways !
My JBL 530s are really smooth because they are crossed over pretty low at 1.5hz. Crossovers normally bother me, but this one doesn't.  
The best speaker you ever heard?
Just curious, has anyone ever tried stacking Bose 901s?I'm curious if anyone has ever added a super tweeter...with mini DSP and high passed to a couple subs, I bet these would go from fun to serious hifi.

seanheis, which Gemtune 1501 do you have, the one with 6bq5's or the 6AD10's?6AD10.  
Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
JBL Studio 530 speakers - Stupid good sounding but stupid ugly as well. People will comment that they look like vaginas, Batman’s speakers, etc. Gemtune APPJ PA1501A - Think mini watt on Andro. Those 3.5 watts embarrass my solid state amps in jus... 
Recommendation for Good Quality Desktop Speakers
Silverline Minuette Supreme are very compact and musical. The Kef LS50 is very detailed and forward...if you are like me, this would sound great at first, but eventually fatigue you.   
Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
Yes! For a variety of reasons I ended up getting Class D amplifier kits for a ridiculous price. Around $250 per 250W/Ch amplifier. Fantastic sounding even at full price. At the prices I paid they were a complete steal.Best,E A buck a watt is st... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Linear amplifier distortion can be reduced by feedback, something digital amps may use in buckets. Using feedback to reduce distortion isn't a free lunch though, or is it?  
How would you get into the biz?
The niche that is really opening up is the small powered stereo speaker with digital inputs. Think audio engine and vanatoo. If I were to try to chase the buck, I would start stuffing hypex modules in fancy aluminum cases.  
Class D = Trash?
I have a used D amp that needs to be re-broken in due to it being in storage for 1 year and 6 days. I would like updates at the following intervals - 600, 900, & 1500 hours...we can have listening sessions over Skype to monitor progress.
