SS Amp Preference for DeVore Fidelity Silverbacks
Keithr - I JUST NOW finished re-reading the Positive Feedback Review for Valvet and saw your post suggesting it. It is one of the amps I am intrigued by, even though it is Class A. Wondering how hot it runs. Apparently there are quite a few Class ... 
SS Amp Preference for DeVore Fidelity Silverbacks
Mlauner - I have heard the Naim NAP 250 with the Silverbacks. I found it to be a good combination but no where near as good as the Nagra. Not ruling out Naim, but once you move up the Naim food chain from the NAP 250, the price really starts to cl... 
SS Amp Preference for DeVore Fidelity Silverbacks
Chazzbo - Thanks for your reply. Red Wine is one that I am considering. I am not that familiar with Plinius but will add that to the list of contenders. In another system I have a pair of Omega Super 8 Alnico XRS being driven by a Bedini 25/25 tha... 
What amp / int. amp would you still like to try?
I'll take the retro approach for my answer to this interesting question. I would love to hear (actually own) a pair of Mark Levinson-2 monoblocks driving a pair of Quad ESL-57's. For obvious reasons, I would think! 
Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
Markeetaux - You had previously asked how the Omega Alnico Super 8 XRS speakers would react to amps on the order of 120 wpc and higher. My Super 8's are about three weeks old and are not yet fully broken in. I have driven them with an Anthem State... 
Margules Audio U280sc & Omega
Thanks, Cmalak - The link you forwarded is one that I read last night! 
Preamp suggestions
Of the ones you have named, I recommend the best Bryston you can afford. 
Most Musical Subwoofers?
Another strong vote for Rel. Completely musical with the ability to be seamlessly dialed in to your system. 
Rogue vs ARC
I value the Audiogon forum venue and most comments made by posters. But when some resort to personal attacks, it becomes tiresome for me and I suspect many others.I respectfully suggest that posters refrain from such attacks in this forum. And for... 
Ayre C5xeMP - Heard & chosen over what other CDPs?
Thanks, Cipherjuris. The Exemplar Denon 5910 is one that I had not considered. And I agree that the Ayre C5xeMP is tough to beat, certainly without spending a lot more $$$.What were those "special tubes" that were in the Exemplar you heard? 
Ayre C5xeMP - Heard & chosen over what other CDPs?
Ok - No takers so far. How about if I expand the original question to include the Ayre C-5xe against other CDPs? 
Suggestions for a good phono stage
Nagra BPS - arguably a new standard for a deal quiet noise floor. Just a superb phono stage! 
Looking to simplify
I second the suggestion that you consider a high quality integrated. What speakers are you using? 
Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker?
DeVore Fidelity 9's or the Omega Alnico XRS Super 8's. 
Will any tubes go well with my Accuphase?
I have heard/used a Shindo Aurieges, a Shindo Masseto, and a Leben RS-28CX with my Accuphase P-3000 and each pairing has been exceptional. Still own the Masseto and RS-28CX for use in two different systems. The RS-28CX is still making beautiful mu...
