Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers

MES, Thank you very much for your nice comments and for visiting our room at Axpona.

We had a lot of great reviews and accolades from Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, ParttimeAudiophile and the gold award from AV Showrooms. We are proud and humbled at the same time. My favourite comment, if I may say so myself, is from Stereophile, "tube warmth in the best and most musical sense of the term" but they are Class D solid state.

You can see our website for all the collected reviews.

BREAKING NEWS..Just weeks ago, a new high end line of Class D amp modules were released by ANAVIEW, designed by Patrik Bostrom with ANAVIEW/ABLETEC. The ANAVIEW AMS SERIES. As some are aware, D-Sonic has been using the Abletec ALC-1000
amp, which recently went out of production and will be taken over by the new ANAVIEW AMS 1000-2600. THIS IS THE CLASS D AMP TO WATCH OUT FOR..WHY? "AMS", which means "Adaptive Modulation Servo", an advanced revolutionary loop linearization circuit technology that was exclusive too, and specifically designed for, the worlds finest Class D amp, the $45K a pair Marten M Amp from Sweden designed by Patrik Bostrom. For the first time, this AMS technology is now available in a budget priced Bostrom Amp. I assume Dennis at D-Sonic is on top of it and will have it as his replacement to the ALC-1000.

old news.....do you really need to post this in three separate threads?

First off, the Ultra SS footers are an absolute must! They significantly improve an already SOTA amplifier!

Second, I'm in enough time now to have reconsidered, and the Veritas mono blocks are still in my system and will stay there long term. I upgraded my preamp to an absolute top tier unit, the Rowland Criterion (in fact, it was the very same Criterion that Guido Corona used to review the Veritas amps with). The amps absolutely sing with the combo!

I just borrowed 2 pair of Merril's interconnects (single ended and balanced) to compare with my balanced Shunyata ZiTron Anacondas. This will take a while to really compare, but I have high hopes for Merril's electron conduits.

I will keep you posted.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you are considering NCore amps and/or Merril's specifically, you are owe it to yourself to take the next step. I am SO glad I did!

+1. On both the Veritas Amps and the Stillpoints Ultra SS footers. I agree that they make a worthwhile improvement. Not only to the Veritas vs the Ultra Minis but under anything.

I have a set on my B&W 802D speakers.

I also have tried Merrill ANAP Speaker and XLR Interconnect Cables.

They are so good I sold my High Fidelity Cables, CT-1E Speaker and Interconnect Cables and bought the ANAP Cables.
The ANAP were so close and so much cheaper.

Matt, what are your thoughts on the ANAP Cables by Merrill.
