Years ago I bought a Thorens turntable from a guy in an upscale neighborhood. He was selling his entire system, McIntosh electronics and Magnepan speakers. I asked what he replaced all that with and he showed me a Bose Lifestyle system. He alluded that his wife was instrumental in this mind boggling decision...🙄

He should have gotten rid of the wife. A woman with so little understanding, is not worth having. 

[Are You Strictly Tubes or Solid State?]

Never say never. Your statement is an emotional one, not a technical one.
 

Not really. All the advantages of a class D amp are more efficiency and less heat generated. Those are not features I am interested in.

Also nothing about Class D is inherently better at music reproduction.

[Are You Strictly Tubes or Solid State?]

Currently I have all vacuum tube (pre)amps. However, the Nelson Pass ACA Class A mosfet amps have me interested.

I would never own a Class D amp. I am not interested in avoiding the generation of heat, or reducing power consumption. All of my tube based equipment pales in comparison to the current drawn from the oven in the kitchen.

[WHOA! Hold the presses!]

Well OK but her butt is overloading the top end.

I don’t see that as a problem.
