Miguel..I highly recommend you check out two videos on Youtube. Type in the search bar "Parasound A21 Amp". The listed menu will show two videos. Both are narrated by the owner of Parasound Richard Schram. Their both sponsored by Audio Advisor. On... 
Cables more hype than value?
"Can you list some example's?".. You gotta be kidding. Perish the thought that Politic's may exist in the High End Cable business. Where have you been?...

Audiolabyrinth.."never heard a recording that sounded like it was realistic sounding from the 50's and 60's"..you gotta be kidding!!..RCA and Columbia were putting out stunning quality recordings in the late 50's. One darn good example is from the...

Ah!..Sandy Goss speaker's. Their known for their extremelyneutral open transparent sound. Very power hungry even though they have high sensitivity at 91 db's. It would be best to use warm sounding electronics with the Tritons. I would never use Cl...

Pound for pound...I would go for the Parasound given John Curl's reputation for the past 40 years. The review of the A21 in England seems to be more positive and accurate. HiFiPig and Hi-News reviews love the amp describing it as very natural, org...

The Kismet is a damn good amp based on the review's I've read. Handsome looking too with those four chrome corner pillar's and that velvet looking black face plate. 160 watts per side. Heavy at 60 pounds a piece. The Parasound peaks at 300 amperes...

Bare in mind also that many of the top very expensive Cable companie's will give away their cable's to famous studio's, concert hall's, and Artist's so they can put in their company resume's that these famous sources use their product's.

Really?..Very high priced interconnect's and speaker cable's did not exist back in the 50's and 60's. Yet some of the greatest recording's from that time from RCA, Columbia/CBS, Capitol, Atlantic are very much sought after today. Back then they we...

Miguel. If you want warmth and richness, here's what I would recommend. Don't buy Class D. If its for convenienceI can understand. Buy the Parasound A21 amp from Audio Advisor for $ 2300.00 and the Wyred4Sound STP-SE. You willhave a match made in ... 
Gryphon vs. McIntosh
Gryphon vs. MAC? Are you serious? Thats like comparing a Bentley to a Cadillac. 
i hear sim audio amps are unreliable
Yep..Sim breaks down all the time. Thats why their still in business 35 years later. Audiophiles only buy defective unreliable gear because they enjoy boxing up their components every month and shipping back to Sim. Hell, anytime I buy used gear I... 
Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh?
Here is why many don't like MAC. Newer Audiophile's during the past twenty year's have no interest in the "Classic" sound character of how electronic's sounded back in the 60's and 70's. Back then amps sounded more relaxed, warm,recessed, very smo...

typo..I "was" not "I wash"...jeez! 
Preamp for Parasound A21?
No Way...recent pic's I have seen of the new P-5 on Google images shows a larger unit than the P-7. It has more height. It has control knobs on the front instead of push buttons. Previously owning three Parasound Preamps including the previous fla...

Mikicasellas..I have had several conversations with Sean, and have seen pic's of the interior of his stereo amp. Very little mods. Has two small Lundahl transformers and DH Labs silver plated copper wire with teflon jackets to the inputs and outpu...
