I had really only considered the A-S1000 and up, as the build resembles high-end gear from the 70's. I seem to recall the other models in the lineup are well-regarded. I went down this rabbit hole a while back and strongly considered the Vidar, but ultimately did not move forward after reading...

Getting by, enjoying a nice mild southern winter. Been a while, eh?

Long story short, I am looking for a "new" integrated amp for my main system. Was using a W4S mINT (class D), then swapped in a Rega Brio. The change in sound with the Rega Brio was striking, so the W4S is headed out the door, and the Rega will take up office duty once again. Current equipment...

Here they are alongside my NHT Classic 4. The Klipsch actually play quite nicely with my W4S integrated amp. The increased sensitivity really helps in the large-ish room. The NHT would suck up all the power that little mInt could put out.

Hey y'all, I don't post much anymore because I've been super busy with life, and frankly don't have much to add these days. But, I thought some of you would appreciate this. Just got back home from picking up a pair of original RF-7's in the unopened original boxes, along with an also unopened...

I am more of a dog person than cat person, but we rescued this stray and she turned out to be a real sweetie (most of the time). We have another elderly one who sort of tolerates her.

For anyone still following this, we finally landed a place of our own. Roughly 30 acres a little ways north of Florence. Very rural and quiet with lots of room to roam and play. Couple hours to the ocean, couple hours to the mountains, it will be our little oasis :)

Paired up with some NHT Classic 3's in a near field listening positioning, I must say the little Rega Brio has really blown me away. It has been quite a while since I have auditioned any new gear, and have been running a Class D amp in the main system for some time now (Wyred4Sound mInt). This...

This week I will be taking possession of a Rega Brio, which will be used in my office to power some NHT Classic 3's, and occasionally Klipsch RB-5's when I want to change it up. The Rega IO likely would have been more than adequate in this role, but I came across a great deal so jumped on the...

Several years ago I had a W4S MPre and MAmps and really liked them. The preamp can trigger the power amps to turn on which was a nice feature. I sold them off and moved to their Mint which I use to this day in my main system.

Morning everyone :wave: As many of you know, 2 years ago we packed up and moved to South Carolina. We will be visiting MN for a couple week in the middle-end of September, expecting to arrive September 19th. Give me a shout if anybody wants to try and get together and catch up. @doucanoe
