| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ Been using many iterations of PS regenerators since late ‘90s, their PP1200 (20yrs+) trouble free (only needing fan changed twice), always brought improvements to whatever plugged in (various—too many to list over those years).Recently, just for p... | |

| Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75 As to A200 vs A250, a/b comparison—definite improvement—yes, well more of slight refinements if I may say. Blacker background (lower noise), resulting in slightly improved bass and resolution, but not night/day. So for those already owning the 200... | |
| Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75 Had Accuphase A200s since they first released and loved them (6-7yrs). Surprisingly better bass authority (weight and definition) than my old Soulution—though the 710 has a bit more of it (vol.and slam). Sweeter for sure (call it good/bad depends ... | |

| How to select and pair a preamp and power amp? At your budget I’d rather focus on quality and stick to integrated—neglecting need of extra ic pc etc. Maybe look to step up in quality from your current unit. Perhaps integrated from Accuphase, Luxman, Pass which I’ve heard (at friends/dealers) p... | |
| PS Audio Powerplant P10 power cable?? Long while back, think it was still the Red series back then.. How are you liking the Direcstream DAC—what powercord on them? | |
| PS Audio Powerplant P10 power cable?? Ran my P10 first few years using PS Audio own PerfectWave AC12–a natural sounding well balanced cable with good body-weight-resolution. Switched to Shunyata Sigma HC (last few years-now) which is quite a jump in performance~all areas.. Notably tra... | |
| Looking for quality sound from my iPhone/cloud stored media Hi, am using these Marshall to play tunes off phones.Balanced natural sound, the tone controls come in handy with streamed materials from YouTube, Spotify etc. Get the Woburn—nice mids.

| Help regarding SACD/CD players Hi Tony,Seems you are already on the right track thus far ie.putting more weight on software/music rather than hardware/equipments.In your case, I’d rather simplify to avoid all future headaches and just go for a good/reliable cd/sacd player.*If b... | |
| Hand me down audio equip- upgrade advice Explore planars perhaps—Magnepan/ML.. you don’t pay for expensive boxes ie.good value/sound for the dollar—life-size staging and sounds great generally—should work well with your current rig. |
