Should I get an SL-1200G
Myself is interested in very casual listening of a few LP's. The 1500c with it's built in pre amp looks attractive.  
NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
I was thinking of going down the new class D road. I was looking at Cherry, PS Audio, nuprime,  etc. I decided on pure class A FirstWatt J2. I really can’t imagine any amp sounding any better in my current system.  
PASS LABS XP-22 vs. XP-12
I know it sounds great, I just love the look as well. My BHK pre sounds amazing with my FirstWatt J2, I’m probably not looking a too much of a sound upgrade, however, the looks set the Pass apart.

Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download?
Break in period for firmware/software?thats a newbie, unless there are parts inside the dac that was laying dormant until the new firmware was released. I’d say it’s more ears adjusting to sonic changes from what they were familiar with hearing be... 
What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal?
Is Lumin going to update the D2 soon? I know the T2 was updated over the last few months. The D2, I believe has been around a while (maybe i'm wrong) 
Wondering why...
Any updates on ML? 
FirstWatt J2 on its way
sorry Nuforce STA200 
FirstWatt J2 on its way
Nyluforce sta209, B&K st1400, pioneer elite a/v receiver. Nothing with the zu’s at the level of the J2 
FirstWatt J2 on its way
Yes. I am running one sub (with Anti Mode sub calibrater) and will be switching to two eventually. The bass, however, sounds much deeper with the J2 (with sub off) vs my previous NuForce amp. I had to turn the sub level down a little bit and adjus... 
FirstWatt J2 on its way
After reading various reviews and seeing a recent Nelson Pass interview where he says "The J2 is the least offensive of all his amps". Plus, the J2 has balanced inputs as well.
