Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help
First watt amps are really good especially the J2. I use the audio research ref 75 with my orangutans and love the combo. VTL 5.5 as a pre. I liked the line magnetic 518ia set amp too but not my cup of tea for all genres of music. The refs 75 defi...

Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
Fatigue from the Orangutans, too in your face? What setup did you hear with these.id put them at the top of the pile for a organic holographic presentation without any fatigue

Can speakers cause mental illness?
It’s interesting how much hate Kenjit gets but I guarantee kenjit is being entertained as well as every person responding whether being entertained in a positive or negative way. Saying something rude  just speaks truths about responder. Carry on.. 
Opening Record Store
Open a shop somewhere else. The same customers will come to buy and sell. Id make it a vinyl/ used audio gear store snd sell a lot online. You will get a lot of audio gear in and only deal with working stuff unless you want to hire a tech. Which a... 
Which tubes are the best?
@milpai,exactly! And for him to put his name with the aforementioned new tubes says a lot itself. That he will go into something he doesn’t like and swallow his ego and say that he likes them. I’ll try those out for sure. Just not at his prices lo... 
Which tubes are the best?
Groove tubes from brent jesse tubes.EL34GT as they are made to be a close copy of Vintage Mullards. Brent mostly sells NOS and doesn’t like a lot of new production tubes but he signs off on these. That itself should say something. 
What's your favorite boutique speaker maker
Devore Fidelity  
This looks like a terrible investment
I messaged the seller and asked why they are not selling on discogs? It makes no sense. Same effort as shows.hard to make an offer when only a percentage is listed and not easy to break down value easily. One copy that’s worth $200 in near mint co...

PS Audio BHK Signature vs Modwright LS100 preamp
why not get the better modwright preamp  ls35.6? 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
First watt m2 and sit3 are different beasts entirely. Hard to judge the sit3 based on it. I’d try a sit3 or a J2. 
My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey
Since you are doing a 2 channel or 2.1 ditch the avr and pick up something like a parasound Hint6 integrated amp which is basically an all in one, dac,phono, tons of watts and weight to it. I used it for my tv and a pair of dynaudios for an amazin...
