I use the same type of table you use as a hifi stand in my upstairs lounge for my no vent gas fire - Probably puts out less heat than those amps :) +---+ |Filename: IMG_1601.jpg |

Hello, I'd appreciate some perspective from forum members on what to look for in new 2 channel amplification. I guess I am getting bamboozled by some of the descriptive terms used by reviewers describing the quality of amplifiers and need some perspective. Background: solid state amp wanted to

A router is definitely not required, but there are two requirements: at least one of the devices has an auto sensing port (common on devices these days) and both devices are on the same subnet. The second requirement is usually taken care of by a DHCP server which assigns IP addresses to both

I've got a similar front end as you...Touch Rega DAC. Just this afternoon, I received an LFD LE IV amplifier. It's a little over your price range but not by much. I've had it running for just a couple hours and already I can say that it's magicabsolutely no comparison to the Marantz I was

If you are happy with your preamp, it would be a no brainer for me to go with one of the wyrd4sound amps, or sell your preamp and get their integrated. W4S has reviewed very well and is very reasonably priced. They use the ICE chip. Not sure how they stack up to the higher power T-amps.

Ok, so ABX, is probably what we will do. Tom is the main person to try to tell A from B... I'm sure there will be others that will want to join in for the test. It should be a fun test, and i expect some very positive results on favor of the Transpoter. -- Toy Maker (2) Squeezebox3's - (1)
