| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I’ll never own a D amp. Never. They’re built cheap. They’re all about low end sales. Tubes rule. There’s no shortage of tube amps to buy. I recently purchased a new KT-88 integrated, even though I already had one. So, as you see, I’d rather have t... | |
| Class A amplifiers Who remembers the Threshold T200? Pure Class A. It was produced about ‘92. Jon Soderberg services all Threshold gear. And the Plinius SA MkIII was for my money the best Class A and Class AB money came buy. It was produced about 1999. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers Tube amps rule. The individual who suggested tubes don’t have the power to get you there never listened to tubes! | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt You talking about an old amp that kicks butt. Try a Threshold T200 or a Plinius SA250 MkIII | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers The tube vs SS debate is older than this forum! And it was worn out when it arrived here. Only thing you have to know is: Tubes rule! | |

| Is D for Dry? Class D... You can’t cheap out on your amplifier. You just can’t do it. Class D is an audio company attempting to sell product that’s nearly all profit. Class A. Now that’s an amplifier. If it doesn’t heat you out of your room it’s not worth your time. | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) I agree with the OP. Once you’ve experienced OB’s you’ll never listen to a box again. Fact is, my first set of speakers were boxes but featured a Heil AMT. I enjoyed them immensely. Since 1980 I’ve owned electrostatics. In 2010 I discovered OB’s m... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s I’ve a Samsung KS8000 bought in 2016 that’s used in my main room. It’s worked flawlessly for 6 years and still going strong. I’ve also got an OLED E6 that I bought in 2017 that’s rarely even used in the bedroom along with an Oppo 203. Great pictur... | |
| CD v Streamed Compression? How about cd vs vinyl. | |
| Lack of Female Representation “She would never consider posting on Audiogon, which she would find tedious, boring, and a waste of time, but she is way more interested in her relationships with family and friends and sharing photos and stories, in person, on the phone, or on Fa... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? Look at the bright side. We got Class A. They got crap! |
