300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel?
Don't listen to @brianlucey 😝, I am struggling to remember if I bought his used pair of Allnic A6000 monoblocks. I could be wrong! This much I will admit: i neglected to mention the model in my previous post, I couldn't be happier with the transac... 
300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel?
Art Audio Diavolo Copper Ref SET. Verdantaudio.com I think it maxes at 13wpc, but you must use the EML 300BXLS. You would need to discuss having the amp wired to the higher voltage psu transformer windings and bias circuit adjustment for that tub... 
Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages

Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?
@CoralKong. For 36 years I was a fervent music and hardware addict, a blithering junkie towards the end, but I finally got tired of chasing the Dragon splitting hairs over minutia.  There's definitely a reason to spend more. If you're ever in Rale...

$25k speakers, $12k amps, $5500 Source, $7K BACCH 3D Software, $1250avg per cable, Acoustic Treatments $3500, Headphone Amp $8k, Headphones $6K I have no regrets, and at 48 in poor health I give no F's    
What to try?

Pass Labs XP32 or XP22?
@aricaudio I'm happy I made you laugh!  It's a bit I used to do on irc chat for the audio asylum when I would interject a "brought to you by xyz manufacturer" intermission when I or anyone fanatical for any particular brand especially if we all li... 
Pass Labs XP32 or XP22?
Brought to by Aric Audio! When you think Pass Labs preamps think Aric Audio; when you think Aric Audio think Pass Labs preamps! (I'm just having a go 🙃🙄, I'm not being serious) I'm actually a big fan of no preamps vs preamps so I can't recommend ...

Where do you stop?
I finally stopped...   ...when I treated my room after decades of making excuses.   ...when finally I had had enough cables to stare at.    ...When I finally broke down and bought my dream speakers; a pair of Legacy Whispers XDS speakers whi...

Purifi v Gan amps?
@soix Professor Edgar Chourier should get the equivalent of a Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to furthering this hobby. In 47 years of being an Audiophile it’s the "Greatest Sonic Leap Forward" I’ve been able to achieve in my reference sy...
