"romantic" sounding cabling
"n my mind, richness implies a loss of resolution. i don't see how you can increase resolution and have richness at the same time."with a cable I don't think you can...Add tubes to the mixture and you can. 
Audio Note DAC 5
You should listen to Wavelength Audio gear...Particurlarly the Crimson. Pure magic. : )

VTL MB450 Monoblock Amps -Opinions
Nice write up Kurt...I will say one thing about good amps and heat. Any one amp worth it's salt will put out immense amounts of heat. I owned an Krell FPB 400cx and it got incredibly hot...But it sounded nice when it loosened up and was hot. I don... 
VTL ST-150 MB-450
Hedgehog is correct, they have triode switching, and I believe even the newest version has auto-bias. 
speakers for krell 400xi
I don't agree at all with the term "silky treble" to characterize the 400xi. Unless you have a silk-dome tweeter of course, then maybe you would hear that tonality. But thats not this integrated you would be hearing. Usually thats a term I would a... 
"romantic" sounding cabling
I agree, Heimdall are to me the best of the newer Nordost. Very neutral and proper presentation of the music. I have listened to all in this line, Tyr, Valhalla, Frey etc..Didn't like any of the other ones except for Frey, but they don't reprsent ... 
Integrated amp and CD player for the new B&W 805S?

MOON I-5 versus KRELL KAV 400XI
I am auditioning this integrated now, and I wouldn't characterize it as cold sounding at all. Typical modern day Krell if you ask me. Powerful, honest, big, and in regards to this particular piece a tremendous value. It is however a typical solid ... 
speakers for krell 400xi
"(High-powered amp. w/High efficiency speakers). "If your talking about B&W your way off...Impedance swings are what you need to look at, not the 90db they would have you believe in their literature. I wouldn't categorize any B&W as high e... 
VTL ST-150 w/ B&W
Going today to listen to it on both sets of speakers...I brought my DAC with me so I can get an authentic feel for it. Considering I have the 5.5 and they have that I will basically be listening to exactly what I would potentially buy. I will post... 
VTL ST-150 w/ B&W
Verity's are very special, especially the Parsifal. What I am trying to accomplish is a simple system, so your suggestion of an integrated is a good one and has been explored. But I want as much power as I can afford on whatever speaker I choose, ... 
B&W 805S vs Wilson Benesch ARC vs Dynaudio S1.4
This is the most foolish statement I have seen yet: "Here's on Outlook! How can someone be thinking about purchasing a new pair of speakers, and prior to doing so already questioning resale value? Especially if money is not a matter."So when you b... 
VTL ST-150 w/ B&W
davt-what about the st 150 for the 805s? What were you impressions of the 185s?
