I am afraid that I must add my own account of my recent experience trying to order a new PurePower+ 1500.My history with PurePower started in 2009, when my ExactPower EP15A self-destructed, the company that bought out ExactPower serviced the unit ... 
Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ?
I'm driving my 3.6's with a pair of Rowland 201 monoblocks, and I'm very happy with the combination. Speaker cables are 3-foot Analysis Plus Oval 8's. I listen to classical music exclusively, including solo, chamber, and orchestral; the sound is c... 
Jeff Rowland Capri preamp
Cytocycle:I turn my Rowland 201's off at the back when I'm not using them. I'm concerned that a transient on the power line could cause a noise pulse from the amps which could damage my speakers. 
Thiel CS3.6 and Aragon 8008BB combo?
I drove my CS3.6's with an 8008BB for nine years, and although it did a good job, I found that the sound was not as refined as it could have been. Four years ago, I replaced it with a pair of Rowland 201 monoblocks, which made a significant improv...

Leave an amp "on" permanetly
I think there might be another thing to consider: possible damage to speakers if there is a power surge or interruption, or a malfunction upstream in your system, that could send a large transient through your power amp and on to your speakers.I a...

Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6
Since June 2005, when I made a number of changes to my system, I've been driving my 3.6s with a pair of the Rowland 201 monoblocks, and I've been very pleased with the combination. The sound is smoother, fuller, more relaxed and more natural, whil... 
What CD-player or DAC should I get ?
You could get a CD3MkII now and enjoy the difference it will make in your system. If, at a later date, you want to try an external DAC, you can use the CD3MkII as a high-quality transport ....... 
Thiel 1.6 vs. 2.4 vs. 3.6 using NAD c372
I am running Thiel 3.6s on the short wall of a 13' by 21' room, and I am driving them with a pair of Rowland 201 monoblocks. I listen to classical music exclusively, and so far I'm very pleased. The 201s are 250W into 8 ohms and 500W into 4 ohms; ... 
any mods to denon 1650ar player?
I owned a 1650AR for a few years, and I agree, it has excellent build quality for the money. After using it for a while, I bought a Dodson DA217MkII-D DAC at a good price on AudiogoN to go with it, which made a noticeable difference in the sound -... 
Dodson Audio - Still in Business?
In the Fall of 2002, I bought a mint Dodson DA-217 MkII-D, here on AudiogoN, to use with a Denon DCD-1650AR CD player. Since the player only had a single RCA digital output, I used a 1.5-meter Harmonic Technology Magic Digital One cable with RCA t...
