The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
Hi sound_decisions. If I were to own a ss amp it would be Gryphon. I also think there CD player is the best I have heard with the exception of the Goldmun top of the line. Venture and Gryphon combination is hard to beat but I still think the best ... 
Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound

Interconnects for Tube amps
Hi Curtis 1. I agree with Trelja. Stay away from MIT. Trelja recommendation of the silver will give you the impression of highlighted detail and sparkle. Coincident cables are IMO much better than KCAG. Coincident compares to Kimber select 1030 bu...

Avalon used to use NBS I believe. Now they use FIM. FIM PCs ICs and speaker cable are on a higher level of performance than anything NBS has made. Slawney mentioned Coincident and I agree with his opinion. As good as the Coincident cables are they...

Hi Kelleyann. I have a pair of Coincident super eclipse that work well with small power tube amps just like your sonatinas. The diavolo is the best of the amps you have mentioned. I just bought a Viva 13w integrated and I cant believe the power an...
