Correction-Fideliums won the Product of the Decade not Century 
Jumper wires/ cable suggestions
Just given “Product of the Century”, Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables. I replaced $6K cables with $1200 Fideliums. The old cables are now junk. When bi amping, you should use two pair of cables. No jumpers.Yes, bi amping properly is with two id... 
NAT amps - Any thoughts?
I believe that that NAT amp is excellent. Just very hot.Check out the ocd HiFi guy, Mike Powell Audio, on YouTube.He is the importer of NAT and has a few videos where you can really hear them with good headphones. Of note is that NAT makes an inte...

MC, how do you come up with all these YouTubes? 
What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks
There is no question that the few Better-Records I have are head and shoulders above any others.But I just got Donald Fagan Nightfly 180g German LP from Amazon that is probably the best regular record I have. I judge my favorite recordings by SQ. ... 
Does Steely Dan sound bright to you?
Just listened to Donald Fagan Nightfly on a German 180g vinyl from Amazon. Wow, sound close to a Better-Records Hot Stamper!This is my second copy and the other one is not great. 
Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers
It would be hard to find a more dedicated tube guy. For decades, all I wanted to listen to was SETs. 300B and 45. Nothing was more musical and enjoyable. Nothing until AGD. I don’t miss the SET sound at all. In fact, I will never go back to tubes ...

“Sell me your children”!I don’t get it  
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
The Tetra 606s are 91db and 6 ohms minimal.Think that the Audions well power them. But IME, all speakers like more power. And, I think, the Gran Vivace also has noticeably fuller sound that takes things to a different level. Although I also think ... 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
My final speakers are the Canadian Tetra 606.To my ear, most real sounding speakers I have heard.TetraSpeakers.com unique website and company with rave endorsements from among the world’s top musicians.They know what music sounds like. Herbie Hanc... 
So how can a great system solve less than great recordings
Introducing my Woodsong Garrard 301 inspired me to upgrade every other component. It may not be the best but it has a drive and life-like sound that is addictive. Especially now with the Lyra, Triplanar arm and Atma-Sphere MP-1. The $28K MP-1 is a... 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
Yes, I am now an owner and major fan of AGD. I am so impressed with my $8350 Audions that I am considering upgrading to the top line Gran Vivaces. However, I can’t imagine any amp sounding better than my entry level AGD Audions. But that is always... 
Manger Audio Loudspeakers. Has anyone listened to these?
I used to be one of the very few dealers of Manger in the U.S. many years ago. Their uniqueness was attractive but I never got behind selling them. Did not care for the sound. Did not think they were very musical. 
Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers
@lewinskih01 I lived with 300B and 45 SET for many years.The SS vs SET thread got me to understand that there was at least one SS amp that could satisfy me-Bakoon. I bought their headphone amp. They create a clear window into the music without any... 
So how can a great system solve less than great recordings
Yes, it was $13K, but the improvement in SQ with the Lyra Atlas SL makes ALL my record collection great. By pulling out so much information out of the groves, I love every LP. Sure, the rest of my front end is a match but a world class cartridge h...
