Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...

Hi, I'd email Transparent with your serial #'s. Those networks have settings at certain levels (like your reference)...if your using a model built for tube amp and your using solid state...some things won't sound right...Sorry to ask this...but th... 
What amplifiers should I have for Dyn Temptation.
