Nice going Thorty40! 
Tube or SS for Sonus Faber Amati Homage
I had asked about your amplification experience, not speaker experience. Your statement of "This is overall the best sounding amplifer I have heard to date in every regard. The match with your Sonus Faber Amati Homage would be shear joy." infers q... 
Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 too foward and bright?
I would like to apologize to SOS for my comment in the first paragraph of my response. After reading it again, once the post was made, I realize it may have been a bit harsh. I was out of line.Although I feel the way I do about SOS' comments, it w... 
Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 too foward and bright?
SOS: It was my understanding you could not get the line. As a matter of fact a mutual customer of ours shared with me that you preferred the Capitole when you were trying to get the product. I certainly am not looking at engaging you, but no one a... 
BAT Pre-amp owner What PLC?
I would not recommend the PS Audio at all. As a BAT dealer, I have tried the PP 300 & 600 and they do not match well with the BAT preamp. We have been highly successful using the HYDRA. It is a great match.

Thorty40: Let us make it clear... have you heard the Amati's with the amps you are recommending? If not it is an assumption or second hand knowledge and should be stated as such. When you state the amp you own is "the best you heard to date", I th...

PS Audio PS600 Leave on, Turn off or Unplug

pass aleph 1.2-speakers to pair w/; 4-6,000
Wloeb: The Aleph 1.2's are the exception to the rule. It is my understanding that Nelson Pass while really liking the Aleph 2's, di not like the 1.2's with the Watt Puppies.

AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?
As a dealer, I would like to sell preamps and separates as there is more profit to be made that way. However, not to take away anything from Artistic Audio's findings, in EVERY case when any of my customers have bypassed their preamps, the Audio A... 
AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?
I had a couple of the MK II's in NY at the HE Show and to be honest, they were fresh out of the box with no break-in time. I thought they were quite good but not where I wanted the sound to be.It was not until I got back home that I really had a c...
