Isn't everything in the universe made of quantum material? What is "Quantum Material"? Quantum Theory is a statistical endeavor to understand matter/energy on a small scale. To me, quantum material is just a bunch of BS. 
Recommendations for good Class A SS Amp 100-200W
It was more likely your friends room, rather than the class of the amp used. 
In a quandry wrapped in an enigma
Zu Audio is having a closeout sale and pair it with a small tube integrated. Your choice on the other stuff ie. digital or analog, but that will give you nice sound and should be both of what you are looking for. 
Watts up with that?
Thanks Al, you're really helping a lot. So is everyone else too. It's probably what I expected, I'm fine listening to jazz and vocals at normal to slightly louder volumes, but when I want to play heavy classical pieces to stir me up, I should be a... 
Watts up with that?
Hey guys,I looked into getting an osciliscope. There are these USB ones that can use your laptop to save on the screen and that stuff. They look interesting and only about $100. However, I have no idea how to use one, but I guess I could figure ou... 
Watts up with that?
Would you guys think I am off by a factor of two, or possibly much larger? 
Watts up with that?

tweaking the Dlink III

Montana Master Reference... Oh, wait... that speaker is a small room.

Why don't you just get a horse? 
Is my Pass amp overheating?
I would think small holes would provide protection as that is how a microwave oven glass door works. We see through the small holes and the waves can't penetrate the screen. 
C'mon name that amp ...please?
Thanks everyone, I will report back, but it may be a while as getting amps to audition in my home is not an easy task, especially since I want to get one used. 
C'mon name that amp ...please?
Guys,I've been switching back and forth between the ICE amp and a Cary SLI-80 integrated. They both have virtues the other one doesn't. This is probably an age old question that has been asked and answered a million times. I think I'm wasting your... 
C'mon name that amp ...please?
What do you guys think of the ARC HD220 hybrid amp? That was the ARC model I was thinking of in original post. I have read the Audiogon review where the guy loved it and then 4 months later didn't, but I suspect he is a true "tuber" and embraced t... 
C'mon name that amp ...please?
Vic... DIY is not really for me. I'm more of a LSEDI kind of guy. (Let Someone Else Do It) I'm just not certain of my power requirements. I was able to audition a Class A 30 watt (Belles SA30) and it seemed to be on the lower edge of power output ...
