How many watts do you really need?
@blackbird55 there aren't any amplifiers that have 600 watts of class A power, at least not statically biased class A.  
How many watts do you really need?
@roadcykler  the Gryphon amplifiers are high bias class  A/B amplifiers, they do not stay in class A up to 800 watts into 2ohm loads they slide into class A/B. You would need a standing bias current of over 14 amps to accomplish this, it would dra... 
A fresh approach to cable analysis
@mclinnguy I couldn't have said it any better.  
The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable
@frank009  why do you care if someone wants to spend money on high end audio cables, I think you are here to just stir the pot. Your other thread already has been removed, so move along.  
The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable
Most Ethernet cables don't even meet spec, fluke tested many of them several years ago and this was their finding.  
An Audio Amateur's question about McIntosh Audio
@chrisoshea  I thought bass was a fish.  
Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house?
@audition__audio audiogon doesn't enforce their own rules, there is another forum member advertising his upgrades to a well known dac, he even advertises sales he's running right on the forum.  
Break In Question?
@douglas_schroeder no you are not vindicated, audiogon doesn’t enforce their own rules, as an example their is a forum member here that actually advertises his upgrades to a well known Dac, he even says we are running a sale and gives the price of... 
Mono Blocks / why are they not more prevalent? + Wyrded4Sound SX1000R
@mitch2  it depends on the power supply and transformer size. I have a Krell ksa 300s that has a 5kva dual domain transformer, I assure you it outperforms many monoblock amplifiers.  
Preamp advice
The LS2B is a hybrid, it has one 6922 tube for voltage gain and FET’s for the output stage. It doesn't seem to get that much praise.  
Schumann generators effect on ASW/LV ratio.
Most of the inexpensive schumann generators use a square wave, the better ones use a sine wave, it may make a difference.  
McIntosh Flunking the Course in Washington State...What Do You Think?
@viridian quite right, even satellites use tube technology, the traveling wave tube.  
Apogee Scintilla’s: Buying advice and are they worth the hassle
You need serious power to get good bass out of the scintilla. I have a pair of duetta 2 and a Krell ksa 300s amplifier these are easier to drive than the scintilla, but still require a decent amount of power due to the sensitivity. One of the best... 
Looking for a well matched Preamp. Pls advise!
@gelle  I used a marantz SR7007 as a preamp with my Krell ksa 300s amplifier for about 3 weeks, I couldn't stand the sound.  I bought a space tech lab tube preamp for $700 and the sound was so much better, it was way too bright sounding with the m... 
Boutique DACs
@jasonbourne71 I guess you didn't see the words no delta sigma dacs.
