Review: Spectral DMA-50 Amplifier
Your points ae well taken. Spectral is not for everybody in the realm of high end audio. To achieve the best from these products Spectral components should always be used with other Spectral products. In for instance a Spectral amp and preamp with...

Review: Threshold 400a Amplifier
Sound bites is quite correct in regards to thermal stablization, that usually occurs in around to 60 to 90 minutes of operation. However with that being said Class A amps for the most part are convection cooled. The cycling of a Class A Amp throug...
