| The Truth about Modern Class D I agree...current class D is just fine. I have owned all kinds of brands...mcintosh...rotel...krell...nad...exposure...muse....channel islands...cairn...peachtree. I currently own red dragon pascal-based class d amps and they are great. Plenty of ... | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? Thanks for all the input folks. I ended up with a good deal on a nice peach tree sonadac. Small form factor like the amps...triggers them by remote....running balanced cables...sounds great. I am breaking the amps in, but so far I am VERY impresse... | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? More good information folks...thanks so much. I will pull the trigger on something within the next day or two, and we will be off to the races. | |

| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Not sure what others have said...but I've really like the Peachtree 220 and Rotel 15 series class D amps. Those 2 are very musical...and no reason to go back to A/B amps unless the configuration of a specific piece is something that you like. P... | |
| Keep a Krell KST-100 I had a kst-100....and it was a good amp but a bit of a space heater. Dunno...the old boat anchors sound good, but are starting to lose their appeal to me. | |
| Thiel CS 2 2 vs. Vandersteen 2CE Depends what you are driving them with as well. I have a Mcintosh 200wpc amplifier driving my cs1.6's and WOW...what a nice combo. I would say that if you have somewhat powerful electronics that are not particularly cold sounding, that the Thiels ... |
