Nuforce STA200
If anyone is interested ( and this applies to anything ), you can open up, go inside of the sys, and Dynamat the circuit board and some of the chassis, as you will hear a significant improvement in detail and resolution. It will also add some weig... 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
One preamp to rule them all; one dac to rule them all; one speaker to rule them all; one transport to rule them all, tt, tonearm, cartridge, pc, interconnect, speaker cable, isolation devices, and on, and on and on. Are you kidding ? 
Looking for more transparency.

Which speakers for a Yamaha A-S2000
As someone who has a few sets of Heresy and other Klipsch Heritage models, a good, clean ss amp can sound excellent with them. I love good Klipsch horns ( I am a modifier of them ), and gave up on tubes a long time ago. Your Yamaha would be fine, ... 
Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers?
My modified Klipsch Lascalas do not need much power, but when I listen to certain music, at certain levels ( 100db peaks and above ), my ears do appreciate a larger, higher wattage amp. My ears check out fine, btw. Of course I am talking about goo... 
Nuforce STA200
The first thing to do would connect the Sys, direct, play music of all types that you often listen to ( I do say give it about a weeks time ), and determine if you like it, better, or not. My Luminous ( $1250 ) is quite a bit " cleaner " than the ... 
Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?
Atmasphere, can you name a few, as I am sure your preamps will be on the list ? Isn't that a benefit of true balanced designs ? 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
Whether the application be for live, in the studio, or in the home listening, we, the audio community, would never agree on a single one anyway. As listeners, we are all different, and we all want what we like. And what each of us likes, is not un...

Klipsch Heresy IIIs, based on your music. They are a fun speaker. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?
I have had the opposite experience as initforthemusic. I hear more emotion, more soul, more dimensionality, more involvement, of my music. The start and stop of the musicianship ( prat ) has never been better. No more editorializing, no more color... 
Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?
kalali, you really are a very sensitive person. You comment on so many issues and so many remarks made by posters, and you seem to take things quite personally. Did you have a poor childhood ? Just sayin'. As far as the necessity of a preamp, it w... 
Nuforce STA200
To both jetter and abery ( and anyone else ). Although I am not using my pair of STA 200s in my main system, I do believe it is an amazing little amplifier. I also believe I have as much, if not more, experience than most, in using the amp with se... 
Amp for LS50
b_limo. I like the gear you found and I am very familiar with those pieces. I am jumping in here based on the use of Dynamat inside electronics ( before Dynamat, there were other materials I used ). I have been into resonance and vibration control... 
Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?
I went passive a year ago ( Luminous Audio Axiom II, Walker Mod, 3 in, 2 out, single ended ), and never looked back. Enjoy ! MrD. 
HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution???
A year ago I purchased the Luminous Audio Axiom II, Walker Mod, 3 in, 2 out, single ended, remote unit ( New, under $1500 ). I could not be happier. Enjoy ! MrD.
