| Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component" Power amps with bright meters!I do not want the distraction of useless information, or lights, when listening in the dark. | |

| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? Chang Lightspeed CLS 709!No current limiting, improves detail, more 3D, clearer sound quality, dead quiet noise level!Much better than any AC regenerator with no warm up period due to internal amplifier in regenerator. | |
