Klipsch Heresy 4?
Great question! I don't have them (yet) but I've read so many reviews and many recommend tubes with Klipsch. Since they don't require a lot of power, the First Watt should be just fine.  
Simaudio ACE or 240i
Thanks for the info---I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Still looking. I did hear back and the 240i and ACE do have the same phono stage so the salesman was wrong. I'm still concerned about the low power with the S40s. Perhaps Luxman or Parasound? 
Klipsch Heresy 4?
@stevehuff Thanks!! Great review! I'm reading and seeing some great reviews on YouTube. The bass port seems to have made a huge difference! I may have to try these babies very soon!! 
Pass Labs XA-25 on all the time?
I have a Bel Canto REF500S amp---should I keep in on 24/7 as well? 
Modwright PS 9.0 or PS Audio Steller Phono Preamp?
I know I'm late to the conversation but do you know if Modwright and Moon go well together? I have a Modwright SWL 9.0 SE preamp and I'm considering the Moon 330a amp. Thanks! 
Klipsch Heresy IV - not what I was expecting
I want to hear them as well---I have a tube preamp and SS amp. What speaker cables are you using? 
Any love for newer Krell amps?
Would a Krell amp work with a Modwright tube preamp and Dynaudio Special 40s? 
What are you streaming tonight?
New Tame Impala and Pet Shop boys 
Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on!
Quite a few to mention, but for latest releases, Pet Shop Boys new album 'Hotspot' is amazing!  
Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
@hilde45 I was in the same boat as you last year. After shopping around and returning equipment I didn't like, I settled on the Modwright SWL 9.0 SE tube preamp and a Bel Canto REF 500S class D amp. I use WyWires for ICs. The synergy is great and ... 
Axe to grind know it alls
Good point Iwin---I'm still baffled as to why this hobby has so many people like the one(s) you mentioned and why we need to address it again and again. It really ticks people off, for sure. I've noticed several Youtube audiophile channels recentl... 
Power Cable from wall to my conditioner?
I have the PS Audio Dectet conditioner and their PerfectWave AC5 power cord----works great.  
Will this hold my 63 pound black beauty??!!
I wouldn't take the chance. I'd put the amp on an amp stand and keep it on the floor. 
Advice for a choice
I have the Marantz ND8006 CD/streamer and it plays beautifully. I also purchased the PM 8006 integrated amp and enjoyed it for a few months but I needed more juice for my Dynaudio Special 40s---not very efficient. So I have a separate tube preamp ... 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
I'm fairly new as well and since I don't have any decent audio stores near me, I've ordered equipment, listened to it, didn't like it and returned it. I did this several times until I found a really good dealer about 70 miles away and I finally fo...
