Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
Perreaux Prisma 350.  Yes, I have one and bought it brand new in 2017. 
Phono Stage Recommendation $3000
I would very highly recommend the Perreaux Audiant VP3 Phono Stage of which I bought a brand new one back in Oct of 2016. I did compare it to the Parasound JC3 and to me the Perreaux was better in every way, plus it cost less and made in New Ze... 
What is your favorite budget audio component?
My favorite unit was a Onkyo T-4711  AM/FM Stereo tuner I bought new at the old Circuit City store back in 96'  It's retail price was at the time $600.00 but I got it new for $159.99, as a matter of fact I bought three of them, two gold, and one b... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
I have three systems and five pairs of speakers. I bought the Klipsch KLF-20's brand new back in the day of their last year and never regretted it. They are my only horn speaker and are currently hooked up in one of my systems and I will never eve... 
For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp?
I also agree with ( keithr )  that tube amps provide more of the magic of tubes used with a solid state preamp, but if you want even more magic use a tube amp with a tube preamp of course. 
Wilson Sasha 2 Pre owned?
Why would you consider Wilson speakers, any Wilson speaker?  Paper drivers in a expensive metal box. There is so much better out there for so much less. I don't know of any other company that laughs so loud on the way to the bank than maybe that o... 
which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks?
Well,  just like ( dlcockrum ) said, that ( stringreen ) above nailed it, and I agree.  stringreen, that was a very good answer, and now I'm going to put something in and see if I can nail it as good as stringreen.This is something that I have kep... 
Suggestions to help you sell your equipment on Audiogon
It's very nice Howard but it sounds like you work for audiogon. I'm just being a little funny and nice here and not rude at all, but you did take a lot of trouble writing all this advice to us dummies ( I'm just kiddin' around ). I only disagree w... 
Perreaux or Bryston?
Yeah, but a bright sound??? I rather go with an amp with a little less reliability that sounds more natural than own a amp that will not break for twenty years but sounds bright. I mean just how long can a music lover, audiophile can listen to ...

Perreaux or Bryston?
Well,  I knew that one was coming. I wondering if that person actually compared a Prisma 350 against a 4B for over six hours using three different speakers and three different preamps, with four people in the room during the testing. All voted for... 
Perreaux Preamps
I'm very happy to hear that I didn't offend you as I wouldn't want that. As far as my line about "blowing away", well, I guess I was a little excited of the fact that even I couldn't believe how good the Perreaux was. When you wrote without contex... 
Perreaux Preamps
I'm sorry tubegroover, but yes, the blow it away part holds true.At least to me it does. I have owned the supper heavy weight Classe CA-400 at 120 lbs, Class A is the first 80 watts, and while the CA-400 is, was a great amp and still is, I decided... 
Perreaux Preamps
Actually the best way to say it is " Get the best Perreaux you can afford, as the Conrad Johnson is not too great to enjoy." I just compared my Perreaux 350 to my friends CJ stereo power amp and to the both of us the Perreaux sounded much better i... 
Perreaux Preamps
I wouldn't trust a Conrad Johnson over a Perreaux with a ten foot pole. A Perreaux would blow it away.
