High End Amp Price Collapse musings

Breaking in my Totem Forest Signatures playing "Slipping Away" by the Stones from Stripped Album.  My BlueSound Vault 2 is feeding my Krell Vanguard Digital via a new MIT Magnum Digital Coax cable....sound like a wet dream, where tube guy impregnated SS GIRL a bouncing baby Dream was born!!  

@dave_b
Just purchased a bluesound vault 2 myself, what do you operate yours with, ipad or android and what software?
going to be interesting to compare this running through the red dragon to my esoteric running through the BAT!

OK a quite a few of us here think that Class D may have already surpassed Class A/B in at least a few instances.  It seems that the people critical of Class D amps haven't given them a fair shake/listen (and people please stop referring to them as 'digital amps' as they are not in any way way such).  D class has come a long ways in the past 5 years.  I liked some characteristics of D Class back then - great high frequency reproduction/detail but I felt a lack of imaging and sound-stage.  That has changed with my NAD M22.  Not fair to criticize it (Class D) unless you've recently checked it out (which I doubt many of its critics have).

As far as vinyl -  I have a small record shop within an antique/collectibles shop I own in S. Jersey and I am doing more than quite well selling vinyl to both Millennials and Baby Boomers.   Maybe it lasts, maybe not but vinyl is HOT right now and has been for the 3 years I've been doing this.  My shop is small and quite diversified and we do well but vinyl is our biggest draw.  I specialize in Classic 60s-80s rock in VG+ or better condition and it's cool to see the following we have now in less than six months in business.

Quite amusing as I have not owned a piece of vinyl in over 15 years but my 16 year old daughter loves her vinyl and has paid some  (imho) exorbitant prices for some of them, so yes I would agree that Vinyl is hot right now.
And now I am even possibly moving away from a cd spinner with the purchase of a bluesound vault 2
horses for courses

Uberwaltz, I have an iPad with current iOS and BlueSound app.  The Vault will update itself periodically as needed.  I have a Signal Cable Digital Reference power cord with Furutech C7 termination on its way...what the Hell, figure it can't help!  I also run my Vanguard and Vault through a Transparent ISO DUO power outlet.
