Your thoughts on Rotel Amps
Exactly Bwyoung, Rotel is great quality entry level gear, it is a way most any working fellow can afford to get into high end. Saying it is the best is crazy, but for the money one can find it for used it is one of the few true values out there. W... 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
SOFTWARE!! lots and lots of it! no one is crazy enough to buy audio stuff for me in my family, schucks-snapping finger with disappointment. I even put the Burmester 969 transport on my christmas list but I didn't get it, no one cares! 
switching from Tubes to SS

Krell amps with Magneplanar speakers
For much less money I would rather use a BAT VK-500, I know more then one person who love the sound of BAT ss with planer/electrostat type speakers. Not many people here consider Krell to be "on the level" of other high end gear, coincidentally th... 
What's wrong with tailoring the sound?

Is AT&T a Good digital cable connection ?
I have an AT&T digital input on my new(to me) digital pre/DAC along with coaxial(RCA style) and AES/EBU digital inputs. My current player only has coax digital output(75ohm, RCA style) and am looking into transports that use the AT&T outpu...
