Thank you . If p35 has enough power I would just stick with it . I wouldn’t want to change unless other amps make a huge difference.

Sound quality vs. volume
@wanderingmoo. In my opinion the compression that happens at higher volumes is related to electronics and room . I can listen at 105 dB in my listening chair after changing electronics ( monoblocks, preamp, dac) from parasound to ayre and cables f... 
Sound quality vs. volume
I agree with gillatgh. I was using kef blades 2 running through parasound jc-1 and jc-2 setup . When I raised the volume the sound stage used to get collapsed and mushy. I changes to ayre mx-r twenty and kx-r twenty . The sound stage stays open an...

@stringreen . Can you tell me what you found that was disappointing about cardas and you liked about audioquest. I had quite the opposite opinion. The cardas seemed more,  for a lack of better word “romantic” to me through my stack.
