StevepoI had to wait for some equipment before I could spend some time listening to me system. I have two HD3 power cable, one HD1 XLR and two HD7 speaker cables. Also two Triode Wire Labs TenPlus power Cables.The TWL cables are on my PS Audio PW ... 
Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450
AudiozenAll you did is recite the the press on the Merrill Audio website. YOU make a BIG assumption that is all there is too it.Why is it you do not make the same claims and statements for the Acoustic Imagery NC1200 based amps and the Mola-Mola M... 
Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450
Dave bI agree that Class A (not so much A/B) can sound great and is hard to beat. But after hearing the new NCore NC1200 by Hypex (done right) IMHO Class A has a fight on its hands. I have seen DIE HARD Class A / SS-Tube Audiophiles sit slacked ja... 
Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450
Audiozen, You said all class D and Hypex, not just some of the Hypex. My remarks are again just on the NC1200.Your assumption is totally wrong as Merrill has added his own "tweaks/special sauce" as they say to the Veritas. And no I am not at privi... 
Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450
MapmanWhat you say is true for most amps regardless of Class.But, as I stated above the Veritas has made all types of speakers sound better. There may be ones that will not play well but I have not seen it yet.Through other Audiophiles I know it h... 
Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450
Audiozen, hi.I wish I had the chance to meet Bruno and hear the new Mola-Mola amps to see how they compare to the Veritas that I own. Though I can not afford the cost of the Mola-Mola right now. Have not heard the new D-Sonic but now I will search... 
Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450
Ok, here is my 2 cents or IMHO. First, the Mola-Mola are much less expansive then many other high end amps, many costing, on the low side $30,000, and into the low $100,000 mark. The new top end Classe, Bryston and others start at $16,000-20,000 a...

Stevepo, I have HD 7 coming and will be in my system in the next week or so. I will be able to compare them to my MIT M1 and my Synergistic Research Galileo Cells. The Synergistic beat the MIT by a large margin. If the HD7 beats out the Synergisti... 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
@Fplanner2000Just a suggestion. Instead of paying all that extra money why not just put in a whole house surge protection at your breaker box. There are a few out there that are highly regarded. You can put it for just the line to your equipment o... 
Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth
I must say with all due respect to both Sabai and others who have said that the Powercell "held back" their system I have found the opposite. I have very good equipment both now and over the years. I have also heard several highly respected Power ... 
Hypex Ncore NC400
Seadogs1I presently use my PS Audio PW DAC MK II and the volume control that is built in. I have used this configuration for several years now even with my Wadia 861. Though with the Wadia I also could through my Halcro pre into the mix at times. ... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
@Bacardi, you are welcome. But please let us know how it goes in a few weeks on the "transform my S.R.Powercell to a whole new level". Is it something you can share now? Good luck. 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Bacardi, Voodoo Cable makes an IEC to 32amp Powercon adapter for $129. Here is the link http://www.voodoocable.net/VAPA.htmWhile that is not cheap, HiDiamond my charge as much or more. Also they might not be willing to do the Powercon connector. E... 
Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show?
Bacardi, I would like to ask you for some feedback on some of your Synergistic stuff. I have the Powercell 10 SE MK II and I am thinking of getting a Galileo MPC dual lead for it. Can you describe the improvement of the standard MPC? I am also con... 
Class D amps?
10-28-12: Seadogs1Thanks to all for your input but one more question. One of the biggest complaints of Class D amps was that they are too sterile and just not musical is that still true with the ncores?A BIG ABSOLUTELY NOT WITH THE NCORE NC1200! A...
