Best amplifier for Acoustat 2+2 electrostats for holographic sound, or change speakers?
Another cool thing about the Orchard is they sell the proprietary modules. Amps can be assembled by connecting the modules to their power supplies. This saves money. After buying a different brand new amp, I joined the Orchard Audio tour. The Orch... 
Best amplifier for Acoustat 2+2 electrostats for holographic sound, or change speakers?
Just hooked the Acoustat 3 Medallion to my Orchard Audio StarKrimson Stereo Ultra with dual power supplies. Absolutely amazing soundstaging and detail. Way out past the speaker edges. The 3's have never sounded so good. 500 watt per channel suits ...

Looking for an Amp Replacement
I would try replacing the caps, even if they have to be a different brand. Then you can listen to the amp to see if it still sounds great in your system. If that doesn’t work, I agree with @thomaskong78. Try out try an Orchard Audio amp for free. ...

ONE MINUTE Premium Power Cable Survey
Some of my power cords are 15 years old. My Don Sachs linestage came with an Ice Age Audio power cord that is huge and really adds some body to the sound. Ordered two more. PS Audio S300, Orchard Audio Starkrimson Ultra and Oppo 105 behaved the sa... 
Looking for an usb player
Thanks to everyone for all the info. @kota1 the Zidoo Z10 looks very promising. I will look into it more. Thanks, aldnorab   
I noticed brightness/harshness more than usual from my system a couple months back.
I had the same problem a few months ago. It was the ac wall voltage. It was so high one of my amps would shut down. Check your wall voltage with a multimeter. I now have a 20amp variac that allows dialing in the voltage wanted. Going from over 125...
