Tube amp repair recommendations - Western NY
Wrap It it in a full 3 inches of bubble wrap on all,sides, remove the tubes and double box it and then you have a 90% (impe) chance of it arriving safely at Audio Clasics in Vestal or Approved Audio in Litchfield, CT. Both have fixed my tube tuner... 
Sjofn The Clue vs Rega RS1?
Thanks, Mike. 
Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio?
No, Spenceroo, I haven't. I will at some point, just want to break in the cables, etc, as I had to change cables once I bi-amped. I used to have Acoustic Zen Double Barrels, but now that I bi-amp I cant use them, so use Clear Day Double shotgun + ... 
Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio?
I have the SDS 470 driving the upper frequencies on a system biamped with Bel Canto 1000m reference on the bottom end and they sound fabulous. Speakers are SP Tech rev III, tube preamp EAR 868 .Enthusiastically endorse the CDA as a bargain of the ... 
Can a single terminal speaker be bi-amped?
What does "OMG THAT sounds Real Audio" mean, Czarivey? I may understand the physics now, but I couldnt follow that sentence:) 
Can a single terminal speaker be bi-amped?
Thanks very much for very detailed answers, even comprehensible to a non-physicist like me. Guess I wont be bi-amping speakers that are not bi-wirable!

Found good & affordable amp for Magnepans
Connecticut. I thought if you were in the NE you could compare the BC and The CDA.

I spoke to Tom and we agreed that it woul be better to start off with one amp. He, of course believe its better than the Bel Canto:)I'm expecting it on Saturday.Will keep you posted. Where are you located, Tim? 
Found good & affordable amp for Magnepans
I'll let you know, Mapman. I, too, am dubious that it will be significantly better, but the price of the CDA makes it a worthwhile experiment. Buying another BC 1000M is another thing, altogether! Also, the SP Tech Revs are very power hungry.........

Thank you for your insight, Noble 100. Your explanation is very plausible and makes great sense. My 470 is arriving Saturday and I will certainly give you a follow-up. 
suggest an under $2000 amp to match 4ohm speakers
I heartily second the Belles. The 350A reference can be had for less than $2000 used. Check out the Soundstage review of this amp. It is a perfect match with both the CJ and 4 ohm speakers. I know because I have them! 
What happened to Jfox
Aside from entertaining with his incisive and acerbic wit, he served as an ethical compass for other dealers/manufacturers, as he followed only his own impeccable sense of propriety and wasn't shy to point out when others strayed. I think he needs... 
Signal Cable Reference speaker cable???
Double shotgun for both my systems too.
