50 hours of research = 1 amp for Totem Sttaf
I listen to my Staff´s with this way: Computer FLAC files then Benchmark DAC1 USB then an Axiom passive attenuator y the amplification stage is with a pair o Rotel RB-1091 monoblocks. I like the sound very much! (I should mention that I installed ... 
Just what kind of preamplifier section does an integrated amp have?
Well, actually I compared the sound quality (the preamp section) of a Benchmark DAC1 USB driving directly a pair o Rotel 1091 monoblocks versus using a little Axiom passive atenuator. I do prefer by a wide margin the sound using the Axiom! 
Just what kind of preamplifier section does an integrated amp have?

How do vibrations affect the equipment?
Thank you Davehrab!! That was a very good and detailed explanation about vibrations. I am sure that others will benefit too from your insight regarding this "dark" topic. Cheers! 
How do vibrations affect the equipment?
Thank you all for your responses! I still do not grasp how vibrations can affect a SS amplifier (no problema with a tube amp)or rca cables or spk cables or a dac, etc. Can someone explain the physics of this phenomenum? 
Left Speaker is Magnificent.
Try reversing the speakers cable leads just on the "bad" speaker maybe is out of phase. 
I rolled tubes and I got hum
Well the new tubes have been playing for 7 hours and one channel lower the hum considerably. I hope as time goes by the tubes will stop making noise.
