Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7
Audiotroy, can you please describe the deference between T+A PV 3000 HV and T+A PV 3100 HV. Besides ability to add power supply, does PV3100 really sounds better or the difference in sound is very subtle?Thank you. 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
Try Triode Wire labs cables. 30 days return. Pete is a great guy to deal with - always responds fast, delivers on time and his cables are very well build, flexible and sound great. I have the top of the line obsession and in my system its better t... 
Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts)
I had Hiato, Hegel 360, Pass int-250, Diablo 300. Currently own Luxman 509x and very happy with that. Plinius is powerful , but not refined, lacks the air and has a glare at highs. Not easy to resell. Pass int-250 is very good but in my system lac... 
Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x
honeybee2012,I had Accuphase E-470 with matching accuphase D-550 a year ago. Good sounding gear but overpriced here in US. even if you find a dealer with 20% off. Currently have Luxman 509x - outstanding integrated. I can't believe it retails belo...

Best Shunyata Power Cord for.,,
Both sigma HC and NR are balanced with great bass. The NR s a little more refined with the same tonality as HC. Yes the dealer is from Florida. 
Best Shunyata Power Cord for.,,
4425, I will say it again, please try to find at least sigma HC or NR or you will  not hear what your $8000  Niagra 7000 can do.  Yes it will sound great with Alpha HC, but with Sigma it should be a different level. You can find Sigma HC within $2...

Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one
Bob, I did not listen the 120 but I called gryphon myself and they told me that diablo 300 has class A  dual mono preamplifier stage that is taken from their refference preamplifier. This contributes to more deatails and better instrument placemen...

Some update, the Gryphon continues to sound better. I have around 150 hours on it and I think its fully opened up and sound outstanding. For sure in anther league from Pass INT-250. Now, esoteric will increase its retail pricing across the board w...
