Acoustic Solid WTB-313 experiences?

Gryphon Diablo vs. McIntosh C2700/MC611
I think many people here are relating to the older Mac sound, the new McIntosh sound is not rolled off, I have a C2700 and 275 amp, running into Spendor D9.2's and they are not rolled off. they are very neutral and detailed IMO. Id say you can adj... 
Modern Versus Restored Vintage SS Amp Sound Quality?
I've been down this road and in my experience vintage can be great but like others have said its depends on the kit.  I personally like the Sansui professional series. recapped etc they sound very similar to modern SS amps with a little more warm... 
Seller Listing Pet Peeve
oh the problems of the first world..... Control C + google + Control V + search. so hard I know. what a pain.  sorry for the sarcasm, but seriously you've probably spent more time complaining about this then the time you actual spend doing a go... 
Higher amperage fuse for sound quality
Only do this if your ok with taking out the actual job of a fuse, and are ok with the risks. I.e. to protect your home from burning down.   
OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name

hana sl or one of the AT-ART9?
I friend uses an ART 9 and also has the top Hana and to be honest in his system VPI Prime21 the Art 9 is better over all. Over all the Hana was great just didn't dig as deep into the music or detail level in his system as the ART 9.  AT have from... 
Is mixing RCA and XLR cables bad?
If your new Lyngdorf and your Mac both have balanced out and in why don't you just buy one lower cost balanced cable and use that. why try to make a balanced to RCA cable if you do not need it. Balanced cables are not as susceptible to noise induc... 
Magnepan LRS Support Group?!
My dealer told me a year wait a few weeks ago. He said they don't make any money off them so they are not prioritized in production. Sadly i wish they would raise the price a little so its a benefit for them to sell and make them in a timely manne... 
Will the used tube amp market suffer?
It's like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.   
AudioQuest PowerQuest 2 or alternative?
After watching a YouTube video ( audio science review) of testing one of  PS audios new power plants P12 AC regenerator and the output was worse than the inputted AC power id say get a good surge protector and don't worry about it.

Amp suggestions for a pair of Audio Note AN-K/SP-e (part 2)
After owing ANE’s for a few years I’d say make sure yo give them more power than you think. Audio note tends to over state their efficiency by quite a bit. I found my 300b amp (8wpc) was just not enough to really flesh out the bass properly, think... 
Question about Class A
Another option is a used class A amp, -Luxman L series from the early 80's they are quite good and reasonable cost. also one of the higher powered class A amps out there at 50wpc. they also do not go into class AB/B.  L530,L540,L560 these amps ar...
