Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Hey prof, what would you purchase if your budget was 2-3x your Perspectives?  
Best amp to drive Wilson Yvette’s
I'd vote ARC Ref 75SE as well. Gem of an amp and (relatively) inexpensive  
Anyone experienced the Luxman MQ-300 or/and The Air Tight ATM-300R?
Charles is on the right path and the answer is no.  
Ching Cheng Power Cords
Where did your friend buy the Ching Chengs, @daveyf ?most of those cords you used are quite colored imo.

Suggestions for Balanced cable between Luxman C900U and M900U.
I recommend the Mogami non quad cables as well - couldn’t tell a difference in my fully balanced ARC system. 
Devore Nines and amp match

Really would love to hear these in the US sometime - difficult unless you are in NY. 
Planned to upgrade to DeVore Gibbon X, but concerned about comment of base leanness

Review: Linear Tube Audio Z10 Integrated Amplifier
Did you find the Nagra 300i cooler sounding than the ARC gear you owned before the LTA?Just heard the 300p driving AG horns this week and didn’t find it typical 300b sounding at all. 
Anyone else gotten SPAM pop ups the last couple of days?
