Blown away by YAQIN MC-13S - tube amplifier
Hi Freediver thanks for the detailed response. Funny as I am using Spatial M2 Turbos at the momemt and was interested in hearing them with the Quad. Hope to check that out soon.  If I get the chance will let you know my thoughts. Currently using a...

Best integrated amp for the new kef ls50's?

Anyone Listening to DSD files?
Nsirkin,How would you compare the Teac vs the Mytek on PCM files? Thanks.Boisty 
Tekton Lore-S
Sig 15 and Lore-S is a great combo which I used until I had to move some things around. For the $$ you simply can't go wrong, Vinnie at Red Wine is a great guy to deal with also.Boisty 
Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i
Rebbi I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the De Capos after you've put them through their paces. Hope everything has been well with you. Cheers.Lance 
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?
Red Wine Audio Signature 15 Integrated. Remarkable little box for the $$.... 
Shouldn't done that...
W4S a good choice. A used Bel Canto 2.5 should be thrown into the ring as well. 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Mrkoven,I think they look really sharp in white. Very nice.

Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend?
SionlimThe Omegas are 93db and are a nice match to the Ayon. I only run it in triode mde and I have no need for more power. I listen to 90% classical but sometimes throw on some Natalie Merchant, Floyd, etc...and it all gets handled very well. Lou... 
Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend?
Hi I also only have the Spirit 2 and am using it with all Black Treasure tubes. Speakers are Omega Super 8 XRS and I'm very happy with the sound. Using with a W4S Dac-2 and a Mac-mini. Admittedly not the very best I've had in my house but for the ... 
SS to Pair with Acoustic Zen Adagio
When I had Adagios the best sound from them came with using Wyred4sound monos with a Modwright tube pre. Was really outstanding. They also sounded excellent with a BAT VK-55 but I preferred the first setup I mentioned. I think any class D amp with...
