RE: I've been burned by Recommended Components in the past...

Good seeing you on the Asylum! It's been a while.

I had the HCA-2 and it was an OK effort for early Class D. PS Audio made a revision in slightly later versions by reducing the gain. The one that I bought had a noticeable hiss if no music was playing. I sent it in and they reduced the gain from something around 30dB to a more reasonable 24dB or 26dB. I don't remember the exact figures but the later versions shipped from the factory with less gain and less hiss.

I read a rave review of the Fanfare FT-1A FM tuner but when I listened to it in my home, I thought it was very veiled and rolled off. It was soon replaced by the Magnum Dynalab FT-101A tuner which was an entry model from Magnum but it sounded so much better to my ears.

I have several more examples as I'm sure you do too.
