Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
It seems to me that designers who build Class D amps from scratch with their own discrete circuits are the players to watch and buy from. Ralph of Atma-Sphere, AGD, and others fall into this category. Those using off the shelf class D modules are ... 
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
@evank It might be helpful to describe your system in detail to understand the context in which you tried these amps.  
Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap?
Hey everyone. I’m back!  
Custom Phono interconnect build-out shops or vendors?

@jayctoy SM analog IC’s with XLR connectors should be fine with your SACD player. Please report your findings with it!

And audio2design, we filed our provisional application well within the prescribed timeframe for securing a valid patent from a non-provisional application claiming priority to that earlier-filed provisional.  
Power Cables for Class D Amplifiers
Call me a heretic but I recommend feeding amps with filtered, clean power via a decent conditioner rather than be too concerned with the power cord itself.  
Custom Phono interconnect build-out shops or vendors?
I’ve tried routine internet searches and mostly came up dry. Hence, my phrasing of custom, as in made to order. One Audiogon vendor made such cables to order about 10 years ago. I appreciate everyone’s input. Awesome. TY.

Spectron Audio Out Of Business?
@snsmore I think we corresponded about this by PM, regarding Deltronics repairing your Exact Power unit. They have repaired at least two of the EP15-A models I've owned--all for a reasonable price. The last unit they repaired needed some new caps.... 
Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?
OP: Congrats on your research and purchase decision. Neither unit is a slouch. But the WAF bonus is terrific. Well done. Enjoy the music! 
Stumped by preamp-amp issues
OP: call me jaded, but I recommend having an independent electronics shop check out the preamp and power amp. Sometimes Manufacturers don’t want to fix a problem that’s clearly there.  
Careful if buying Purist Audio Neptune fluid cables.
Those who object to a central aspect of the cable design (whether fluid should be included in the first place) are not contributing productively to this thread.  
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Is the pissing contest over? Can we return to civil discourse?
