Purist Audio 20th Anniversary/ Dominus or a Virtual Dynamics. I have Master 2.0 in my Gryphon Diablo integrated which works very well. 
Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc
Great answers everybody!!I would suggest Verity speakers, purist audio cables, cardas cables, most tubes, spendor speakers, sonus faber maybe, Lamms, generally anything that makes you relax as real music does.
