Sabrina X Amp Suggestions
My experience with Sabrina is similar to @moto_man experience. I drove them with 40 watts of Pure Class A in a giant space for well over an hour and they never clipped or faded, volume was more than enough.  I am not saying more power wouldn't wr... 
Within a 30 day trial with Van Alstine SET 400; seeking comparisons
@nakolawala   What did you end up settling on with your amps?   
Please help to chose Integrated amp Diablo 300 , darTZeel CTH-8550 Or ....
@datka3    Just curious if you still have your Dartzeel Integrated and if you are still enjoying it. Is there an upgrade path offered to get an 8550 upgraded to an MKII?       
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@grannyring    Hi Bill, noticed you switched out your speakers from the Dalis to the Fynes. You went from a notoriously hungry loading speaker to an efficient speaker. Did you make this changed based on not getting enough out of them with the A2... 
MSB vs dCS Bartok
the extra power supply for the discrete is really mandatory in my opinion. Any component in the chain, always always opt for the one that has the best power supply implementation. And this case if the Discrete, just assume you need both out of the...

@hchilcoat How are you enjoying your separates? I know you haven't had a chance to compare to the Integrated but would be interested in your overall take so far of just the components in your system as compared to things you've listened to in the...

Thanks again..All good points, I appreciate all the positive feedback and honest opinion on CL. Hard to buy audio equipment these days since it's getting harder and harder to listen to things with traveling. I am actually only about 6 hours from N...

@whipsaw Thank you!    I didn't know it had a fan either, I am not a fan of fans in equipment either. 😃 I've looked at the inside at pictures online too and can't see it anywhere so thanks for pointing this out. That is concerning for me since I...

good thread, great review @grannyring    How are those who bought new A200s liking them? Would love to hear a report back to this thread.    @whipsaw you ended up with the A200 and the Amp 150 Gato is also one I am considering. How has your ti...

I'd love to hear how folks are liking the 700i now that it's been longer.   
Moon 700i vs 400M
Cripes why do you listen so loud. My ears hurt just thinking about it. Get some new speakers.   
Speakers choice with Octave v80se
@mawashi    Which amp did you end up with? Not clear on what the 211 tube is. Lampizator? I am about to upgrade into SabX and looking hard at the Octave V70 Class A or the 80 SE. As you know it's not an easy speaker to drive so I'd be interested... 
What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
@daveyf   Nordost cables are a notoriously fast, accurate (albeit bright) cable. Wilson is a fast accurate speaker. Fast+Fast is not really a good combo for my listening ear anyway. I wouldn't choose Nordost for anything but the slowest or tube ... 
What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X?
I can't believe all the Nordost recommendations, awful awful choice. I own Wilsons and wouldn't recommend those cables to my enemy on these speakers. Entirely too accurate.    Call Dave at Zenwave audio he's making some of the best cables next t...
