1) The second I heard it but I did get some help from Sound Practices on what to expect. Fi X.
2) Dynaco ST-35, Pilot SA-232, Fisher SA-16, these are still very good amps in my system and needed when I really want to crank-up the rock-n-roll. I'm using Altec Flamenco's.
3) No, I still consider it the best deal going to get you started on the SET route unless you can DIY. With a few extra tubes to play with and a few upgrades I have about $1600 into my fi X.
4) I've been looking for a backup SS amp for a few years now for cheap. Tried the vintage Harman Kardon 430, the JVC Super-A amps, Yamaha M series stuff, Marantz PM amps, etc. Could not live with them even as a backup. Went over to DIY Audio to read up on the chip and class D amps and ended up getting a Topping TA2020 t-amp type amp ($99 plus shipping). This is the biggest no-brainer audio purchase I've ever made. Good spare amp, good for an AV system for watching stuff on PALLADIA.
