Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW
Rockports all the way! Not even close IMO.  
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
I think that the improvements in SS amps exceeds those made with tube amps. Years ago there werent many SS designs that I could enjoy. Now there are many, mostly from Europe and very expensive.

roberjerman,Please give us a list of all of your equipment. Also your age would be nice. I am seeing a distinct pattern. 
Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96
essrandWell I am not surprised that you liked your 300Bs better than the Class D amps. Kind of an apples to oranges comparison. Take to heart what Ralph has said about how SETs sound when pushed. I truly believe that both P.P. and SETs are intrins... 
How do you know when tubes are done?
Usually a browning of the getter flash indicates a weak tube, but there are a few types in which this is not the case and the tubes can still be viable. A black thick getter flash is fine. I think it was GE 6L6GCs that had a browning tendency that... 
Digital cable comparison: Black Cat Silverstar 75 MkII vs Analysis Plus Digital Crystal?
A friend just bought the Analysis Plus and it is settling in very nicely. Was a bit bright at first but now sounds very good. Very reasonable priced. 
Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96
Of the list you provide, I would only choose the Nagra if you like a less traditional tube sound. My experience with Air Tight is similar to the Nagra. I cant comment on the Wavac due to limited experience. The Shindo gear is great for a more trad...

I dont know Glen or Bill, but 10 minutes with either of these guys might result in a goldmine of information or it may result in ten minutes of competitive product bashing and only an attempt to sell you their products. I hope it is the former, bu... 
3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase?
I would listen if possible. If not, my vote would go to the LTA by a wide margin. 
Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96
Myself and several enthusiast friends did a shoot out of sorts between a number of amps on a pair of O/96s. The preamp used was a CAT SL-1, a modest Rega TT with the CAT phono stage and a decent digital system with a transport through a Thor Audio... 
Bought some `Vintage Gear`
kosst is giving very good advice. I too am not a fan of vintage speakers and especially dislike the JBL "sound", but this is just my take. Significant improvements can be made with the vintage electronics, TTs not so much, with some time and a sma... 
Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps?
I was referring to the 60s and the MA1s. 
Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s.
The original post asked for opinions about 2 types of cable one of which I have owned and the other heard. Others chime in suggesting that the type of cable appropriate is based on musical preference which I think is wrong. I see your point, pleas... 
AC cables for Atmasphere MA1s, MP1?
My friend uses the opening level Analysis Plus on his M-60s and they are excellent for the price.
