Considering A SS amplifier

Hello NeonKnight,
I have just sold and moved on from a complete PS Audio setup with DS DAC, BHK Pre and BHK 250 amp.  I have two systems, so swapping gear was easy.  In the end, I found the PS Audio all a bit 'less clear' and less resolving than nice SS stuff.  To directly compare the amps, I liked the clarity of my older Classe Audio CA-2300 amp better than the BHK 250.  I also now have a pair of Mola Mola Kalugas that are amazing...and I said 'no class D amps!'.  Well I ate those words.  My replacements for the PS Audio stuff is: Auralic Vega G2 DAC (much more resolving), Audionet Pre 1 G3 Preamp (amazing and a deal previously owned through GTT Audio), and my Classe amp.  The entire system is so much cleaner sounding now.  Much clearer, much quieter (I always heard noise from my B&W N802's with the PS Audio, not anymore), and just more interesting and (to me) enjoyable.  My dream list includes the Audionet Amps, again GTT Audio...  Upstairs my new stuff is all Mola Mola; Makua Pre amp  with internal DAC, and the Kaluga mono amps.  Symply amazing clarity, dynamics, etc.  And it is so pretty...Good luck!  Ken.

Hi again Neonknight,  Just noticed I have the exact same room set up as you...stereo  furniture, components and TV on long wall, speakers and fireplace on short end wall.  big Room 18 x 40.  I have nice (AU24 SX) power cables and interconnects, and they made a huge difference. My speaker cable runs are 35 ' and 25'.  After talking to many cable companies, I decided not to make them the same length, so my runs are 25 and 35'  I cold not spend for good cables at this length, so made my own from 8 gauge copper from a 100' roll, and soldered nice banana plugs with Cardas Silver solder.  I think it sounds amazing, but of course have not tried nicer speaker cables.  My cables run into the wall, down to the basement, above the drop ceiling, ad back up through the floor.
I liked your 'soft around the edges' comment..spot on.  And the Preamp noise (hiss) made me drink as well!  Take care!
