How much does analogue vs digital play into the decision? Setup is a Rega P6 w Aphelion MC into Icon Ps1Mk2 into Quicksilver Mid Monos. I've read that many folks just run the amp stage right out of the wall. Tho you miss the surge protection, for ...

The sonos amp supports both and I have sonos wireless speakers throughout the house. And while they sound good, they don't sound great. The floorstanders will use the wired section of the amp. Don't spin your wheels on that part. The wired output ...
