Power Amp..opinions please
Mamboni,I am glad that the Wyred 4Sound delivers the sound that you want. What other Class AB did you use earlier before you settled with Wyred? In my system I have never heard a stand alone power amp. So I can only "imagine" the "ultraclean, dead... 
Problem with Marantz SA-8260
Macdonj,Seems like you need the laser needs replacing. It will set you back about $200 inclusive of the labor, laser and mechanism. 
Power Amp..opinions please
Tholt,How do the NuForce go with the Promitheus? What is the sensitivity of the NuForce? Is having a sensitivity of > 1V good or bad for Promitheus TVC?Thanks 
Power Amp..opinions please
Guido,I have read that review before. You have done a very nice and in-depth review there. But the price tag is a marriage-breaker than deal-breaker. I can't think of spending that kind of money right now. I am sure the Bel Cantos are great..but s... 
Power Amp..opinions please
Timrhu,I guess you are right. That is what I may have to ultimately do. And if I don't like the amps, then why do we have audiogon for? :-) I want to get some maple wood plinths for my Quads, but that is not the priority right nowMechans,You have ... 
Can upgraded jumpers improve sound?
I used to use my NAD integrated amp with upgraded "preamp jumpers" that were custom made by Signal Cable. A significant improvement in sound which is noticeable. I could hear more details and the sound stage was much broader. Silver jumpers are be... 
Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2
Hi Tholt,I have not compared the Ref TVC with other preamps. The only preamp would be the NAD integrated's built-in preamp.Would love to hear your comparison with the Shindo. I am not a tube guy though. 
Dissapointed with my new speakers
I second Knownothing's suggestion of Quads 21L. Amazing speakers. For me, the bass is more than enough. And like Knownothing mentioned - the midrange and treble are top class. You will not be disappointed - for sure. 
Audio advancement - why?
Jylee, you are correct. That was my original question. I also wonder sometimes that maybe SS is better than tubes currently - but maybe are we held back by our own "habits" of listening, such that anything other than tube seems "less" in our world... 
Audio advancement - why?
Thanks you everyone for your informative posts.Frogman/Elizabeth, I get your point about music as art. But I guess I will have to do some reading before I digest the fact that human progress could not achieve in audio, what they achieved in other ... 
Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2
If you get a chance, give the Promitheus Reference or Signature a try. This TVC does not add any signature of it's own. I am pretty happy with mine. 
Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects?
I have got very good results with Signal Cable. Highly Recommended. 
Promitheus Ref TVC and RWA Sig 30.2 Power Amp
Jaspert,I have added a review of the Promitheus Reference C-Core in the reviews section. 
Promitheus Ref TVC and RWA Sig 30.2 Power Amp
Ngjockey,The source in the case of Promitheus TVC does not seem critical. I get my moderate listening volume even if I use an iPod and the volume knobs set at position 10 of the available 24 positions. I believe it is the power amps's input sensit... 
Red Wine 30.2 Power amp
So Glory,How do you like the Red Wine amp?
