Bass leaves after amp warms up?
The OP isn't willing to try much. SPL meter? Nope. He's a professional musician, won't try the SPL meter. Taking the cover off the amp? Nope, no tool. Unwilling to go to the store to buy a set of allen keys. Besides, he isn't good at taking the co... 
Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
It's been about 3 weeks now. I leave the preamp on almost continuously to help break it in. It doesn't run particularly hot, so no worries there.There have been no burps or hiss or hiccups of any kind. It just runs quiet as a mouse. Don't think th... 
here is my delima............
Perhaps a power regenerator from PS Audio will do the trick. 
Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
I recall the single box Dude as bigger in every dimension than the two box CSL. But it isn't so much the size as it is the proportionality. The Dude looks like a preamp made for Andre the Giant.Maybe some people like that. If I had more space and ...

Restocking Fees, 30-Day Free Trials
It would be fraudulent to sell a returned item as new. Could the dealer lie about it? Sure. But anyone can lie about anything.Usually I suspect what happens is the dealer sells a returned item as a demo unit. You see a number of dealer ads selling... 
Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new
Why, a pair of DIY Hypex NCore NC400 monoblocks of course. 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
All the components matter. With the same speakers, one amp will sound harsh, and the other smooth. Likewise, change the speakers but leave the amp alone, and you may have different results with different speakers.Based on my own experience only, t... 
Upgrade Path?
The amp or the M2.I bet the M2 would be a nice improvement all around.Although I have not heard the M2, I do have the NAD M51, and think it is just a stellar DAC. If the M2 is of similar quality, it would be a very nice choice for you, and then I ...

AB amps: 1993 vs 2003 same price/better sound?
