Any PS Audio PPP owners upgrade to P5 regenerator?
I upgraded from a PPP to a P10. Noticeable improvement in microdynamics. I have my CD player and SET amp plugged into it with great energy all music. Highly recommended. 
Belles Ocm 200
I used to own 2 OCM 200's in monoblock configuration with XLR interconnects. They sounded great and doubled their power output this way. Speaker outputs only on positive terminal on each amp(I think, it's been > 15 years). Good luck

I'd be interested also. I'm in Miami 
Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
a couple glasses of wine or a good Belgian beer along with some great music and I'm a happy camper. 
Avantgarde or Tonian?
I own Avantgarde Duos and the Siegfried 811-10. I love the combination. Transparent,pinpoint soundstaging,dynamic,highly resolving. I don't know much about Tonian(never heard them) but would be concerned with their mid 90's sensitivity especially ... 
Avantgarde..... Still a contender???
I own the Duos. I don't hear any horn "shout" and prior to purchase compared them side by side with cone/box speakers and again heard no shout. As to the integration issue I have listened nearfield(6 feet away) and heard problems with integration.... 
Tube question for Berning EA-230 amp owners...
Having owned several Berning amps I have found that NOS tubes do make a difference(tho not a large one). I also have settled on RCA as being the best fit for both the 270 and Siegfried amps. My understanding is that 5692 shouldn't be a problem to ... 
Avantgarde Duos - right for me?
I own a pair of duos. The bass integration issue is mute if you sit at least 12 feet from them. They need the space to integrate properly. I sit 14 feet from them and the sound is seamless. The do have a small "sweet spot" which usually is not a b... 
EVA CASSIDY
I have to agree she is "the one". Other female singers with gorgeous voices are Sara Brightman and of course the best jazz singer of all time Ella Fitzgerald. A singer you may not be aware of that has a drop dead beautiful voice is Queen Latifah. ... 
Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?
My experience is that Class A amps provide a fuller sound which I believe is more realistic to the original performance. Class AB or Class B amps add crossover distortion when they transition from Class A to B. I believe this sounds like adding an... 
Amplifier for Avantgarde Duos
What cables do you have? It's possible a change in cabling may be a cheaper alternative. A warmer cable such as Cardas,Purist,Audience,Transparent,MIT would do the trick. 
PS Audio PPP owners how do your amps sound
Agree with above. I had my SET amp plugged into the wall and it now sounds better plugged into the PPP. I have a CD player as the only other component plugged into the PPP so it is not being overly taxed to begin with. 
Best IC options for Reimyo CDP777?
Nice system! We have similar tastes in equipment. I also have the Reimyo with Duos and a Berning Siegfried amp. I agree the Reimyo is something special. I was surprised at how much better it was than the Audio Note II/Levinson 36S DAC it replaced.... 
Atma-Sphere with which speaker cables?
If you enjoy the Alpha-Core sound as I did then I would recommend a like upgrade to Silversmith cables. These are also silver ribbon cables but with more refinement,transparency,smoothness,naturalness than the A-C. They are however much more expen...
