Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
You need an amp with extreme control. I only heard the older Amati at a good level. All the other times the low freq. were worse. Personally I would go for a Pass or Krell. Pass has a bigger stage. To be unnest depth is not the strongest point of ... 
Review: Purist Audio Design Limited Edition 2013 Power cord
I saw you use Shunyata powercabels. A few weeks ago I was at a show they played with Pass and the Aurender. Cables were from Shunyata. Mannnnnnn voices and instruments were all much too big. This I always hate so much at audio shows. Most of those... 
Review: Purist Audio Design Limited Edition 2013 Power cord
You are welcome. I think you will be surprised about all the talents this cable can give you. 
Your Classe Omega Impressions 1999 stereo version
We are talking about properties/ talents an amp has. I did not like the X series of Pass at all. 0.5 makes a big difference. There are a few Krell amps I like as well. I like stunning quality. Name of brand is not everything. The X and XA .5 serie... 
Your Classe Omega Impressions 1999 stereo version
I heared them a view times with my own music. This was with the Nautilus 800S which I owned as well at that time. I missed a lot of quality what highend should give. It depends what the price is of a used pair. To be unnest it does not come near t... 
Amplifier question for powering Wilson Sophia
I had a few clients with Wilson Audio speakers. I sold my XA100.5 to a person with the Puppy7. By far the best sound ever heard from a Wilson Audio. Most of the time it is always very average by Wilson demo's and clients. 
Diamond drivers
You are right about the pleasant sound of the Diamond tweeters. But there is more than only the tweeters. The biggest problem B&W has is that they still not make great filters. Wenn you do a test for depth and how wide the stage is, B&W is... 
Nordost ICs cause hum, replacement needed.
Never buy cabels by tests. Always do your own testing. Testing of cables is not about your taste. It is only about an opinion of a person or magazines. 
HELP Best speakers btw 1000$ and 3000$. Real tests
You are the only one who can choose for yourself. It is al about personal taste. Start with the loudspeaker you like most. After this focus on the amplification.. 
Pass XA30.5 vs Bat VK60
I have had the XA100.5, 60.5 and 30.5. I loved them all. XA 100.5 was my favorite. But now I play with the X250.5. To be honest for the money this is the best. I prefer it over the XA30.5. It is a little more compleet. Wenn you play many different... 
Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN?
Wenn it costs 4 times as much it never will be 4 times better. For better you have to pay a lot wenn you get to a higher level in audio. I think this is with most of toys for boys! 
Krell FPB vs Plinius SA-103 vs Pass Labs XA60.5
60 watts of class A is totally different than 60 watts of Class A-B or D. Ask Pass Labs, they say 60x5=300. But I had much more drive with these mono's compared to my older MF Nu-Vista 300 power. Which was modified. Gave more than 2x 350 watt by 8... 
Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN?
You always need to know the properties of your electronics to give a good advice in cables. Nordost is not a brand what will work with all different brands. I had a client with Krell and Sonus Faber Amati. Valhalla did not work with Krell and Amati. 
Diamond drivers
I can give you an example. The 800 diamond series compared to the Monitor Audio Platinum series. The Monitor Audio with there ribbon tweeter let you hear more information than the diamond tweeter of B&W. It makes depth even more easy to get. A... 
Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN?
I see you like tubes. I guess you can make a deep and wide stage. The stuff you use it not know in europe. I did test the Brahma powercables. The difference between the Valhalla and the Brahma is big. The Brahma you could use for a source maybe pr...
