Past Wyred4Sound STI owners
It would be interesting if someone that has both the STI and Ncore products could do a comparison/review. I'd be happy to volunteer my mamps for this purpose. 
Past Wyred4Sound STI owners
I have a pair of the mamps. The first two off the production line. Could not be happier. Powerful, smooth and lots of instrument weight throught the frequency range. So much better that the first generation class D technology. So small its redicul... 
Wyred mAMP
I believe I got the first pair made right before Christmas. They are so much better than my first class D amps. Had a pair of the original Bel Canto Ref1000 and these just smoke them in every category. May take in as nutshell:- Bass is just off-th... 
Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105...
The 105 is my first Oppo purchase so can't compare it to the 95. What I can tell you is it performs very well as an audio grade DAC and preamp. Best stock digital volume control I've ever heard. It really is quite good. I’m using it with pair of t... 
Review: Red Dragon Audio M500 MKII Amplifier
Right before Christmas I got the first pair Wyred 4 Sound Mamps. Outstanding product! I believe they use the same generation ICE modules you mention in your review. Most of your observations are right in line with my experiences. I had the origina...

Got one as well. Its got to be a scam. 
Assistance with tri-amping Emerald Physics CS 2.3
I'm currently using a DBX 260 in a tri-amped configuration with these speakers so I have a solid configuration I can share. Funny thing is I'll be documenting this information anyway over the weekend in preparation for a DEQX HDP-Express conversio... 
Open Baffle loudspeakers.
You can add Emerald Physics to the list. I have the CS2.3's in a tri-amped configuration and they are just amazing. The 2.3's have two 15" woofers per side to deal with the OB bass issue. DSP/active crossovers are the way to go. My DEQX will be he... 
DAC 3-4k range
Audio Horizons Tube DAC 3.1. 
Bi-amp question
Bi-amping does make sense - but only if you go with DSP/active crossover technology to replace the internal passive crossover. 
acoustic ceilings
How about floors? I have a 500+ sqft room I'm re-doing that will double as a listening room and gym. Maybe I'll get back in shape in the process. Floors are bare grey concrete as this was a shop area adjacent to a garage. Don't mean to de-rail the... 
Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
Agree with Audiofreakgeek comments reagrding the S8's. I had pair of S8's v1 and found that they require the right combination of warmth (amps, cables for the most part)to sound best. Could never get the bass out of them I had hoped for, but if yo... 
Best tube dac available?
As a baseline, I would give the fully loaded Audio Horizons Tube DAC 3.1 at try and compare it to those heavy hitters. They have free trials. You may be very suprised and save yourself a ton of money. Make sure they supply good tubes for evalutati... 
How is the newest Audio Horizons 2.3 preamp?
I own an AH TD 3.1 SVT and use it with a TRL Dude preamp. Never heard an AH preamp but their new DAC is just a wonderful piece of gear. Their new preamp is cut from the same fabric as my DAC so it most definately worth a listen. Would be really in...
