| Sanders ESL Power Amp & Mono blocks 04-26-10: Punishen1[...] In short, I'd buy one again in a heartbeat, and I recommend them to ANYONE running electrostats or any other difficult-to-drive loads. I agree. In my quest to find the ultimate ESL i've powered a number of them with the S... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? 04-22-10: AnalogkidKiwi and Phusis - what amp are you using with the Raidhos?Thanks!Hi Analogkid. The Raidhos appreciate a bit of stick. I drive them with a Gryphon Diablo Integrated. | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? 03-12-10: PhusisOne of the things I find so fascinating about the C-1.0's is their attentiveness, if you will, to the smallest shifts and nuances in the music. In effect, it produces attentiveness in the listener, and you truly feel the texture an... | |

| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound Hi Dave,What did you compare the MPS-5 with before you pulled the trigger? | |
| Esoteric P03 - D03 My advise is if you're going to upgrade to P-03/D-03, only do it if you can buy the reference clock at the sametime. With that the combo is miles better than the X-01. | |

| Best Integrated, period. Last year I bought a Gryphon Diablo integrated amplifier after spending more than six months evaluating options including the Jeff Rowland Continuum C-500, the GamuT DI-150; the AMR AM-77; the Unison Research Unico 200 and the Plinius Hiato (to na... | |
