I need ICs for my system. Anyone have this set up?


Hi, I'm new here. I just purchased a pair of B&W Signature 800s and a pair of Pass Labs X-600s to run them. I also purchased a Meridian 861 v4. I also have an Arcam dv27(I hope to get the Meridian 800 and get rid of the Arcam, but I'm a little low on funds after this insane spending spree.) I am going to purchase the PS Audio P-1000 for clean power. What I would like to know is...Does anyone have a system close to this to recommend ICs and Cable? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Tigmag1, my system has a Pass LabsX-350.5 and Threshold SA-1 monoblocks, so as far as amps we have something in common in our systems. I have auditioned many wires in my system and have finally settled on Acoustic Zen's Absolute, Silver referenceII, Matrix referenceII IC's, and Absolute speaker wire. I think it sounds great and Mr. Robert Lee, Acoustic Zen owner/designer, is a genius who offers great sounding products at very reasonable prices. I think his Matrix referenceII IC's and Satori speaker wire are some of the great bargains in high-end audio. So, you might want to put Acoustic Zen on your audition list. Hope this helps.
Sorry I can't help you with cable choices, but I would recommend a shunyata hydra over the PS Audio unit.
This particular unit "choked" lesser amps.
You should play with it and with the amps plugged into the outlet, preferably a dedicated run. You might want to consider a passive line filter in that case.
The power conditioner might do some good on the low power components in your system.
Thanks for all your input. I have heard good things about the shunyata. I'll look into it. As for the ic info, I guess I will have to just buy and listen, then buy and listen and hopefully find what I am looking for. Thanks again.
