Wired4Sound STP 2 preamplifier vs Coda X7 preamplifier
yes, I meant 07x, sorry. audiotroy, i have already replied you.  yyz... thaks for your input, your system looks impressive.  i also use Thiel speakers, 3 different pairs of them (in three different systems) CS6 (in the main system), MCS1s with... 
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
To me, the hate is unjustified (unless the price is concerned). Sometime ago I replaced my tube integrated in my main system with a Macintosh solid state amplifier the sound clarity was obvious vs the tube amp. Then I replaced the McIntosh with an... 
Critical listening and altered states
PS Music You like "substitute" drugs and alcohol, doesn't it?  
Critical listening and altered states
For me, a cup of a good green or black tea is good. I do not support the use of drags since  the effect lasts for a short while (one cannot be drugged all the time...) and yields conflicts with "the reality" and causes the dependence.  Unfortunate... 
Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25
I agree, Pass Labs equipment delivers beautiful sweet chocolate sound. But this is not precisely natural poor chocolate flavor. Most people like artificially flavored sweet chocolate. I don't - i prefer a natural chocolate flavor. 
HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.
Audio shops are closed now keep some drink for Monday 
WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST?
Bob Dylan's Like a rolling stone (---and quite a few Hendrix's songs---) 
Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?
I feel sincere gratitude to all responding to OP and to OP for his post. Many of us had/have some similar experiences,. Responding to such kind of question could be more valuable than a technical advise regarding a particular gear. Compassion that... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
@mahgister i do not normally go to live performances as at home i have better  SQ, in average. But if you are at q live unplugged performance, where you expect the sound will come from other than from the scene?  
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
Thanks @lowrider.. for letting me know the credits of @atmasphere . I had a quick look at the site, it made a solid and convincing impression on me. I wish him all the best in his art of design perfect tube amplification. 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
Thanks @ghasley  for letting me know about the business of @atmasphere - sincerely i didn't have that info and don't see from where i could have it. Hence, the question  required an answer (for me i mean). And thanks @atmasphere  for your kind res... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
Hey @ghasley.. I would not ask such a question to Dalai Lama - i know there exists no verbal answer on it (i do hatha yoga can reach physically all asanas  -  this not necessarily " enlightens" you; in general,  the meaning of "enlightened" is qu... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
@atmasphere I trust your perception - are you a musician or a sound engineer? These things are subjective. There is more air with tube reproductionthat makes it very pleasing but not necessarily plausible. I mean, thereal sound is a bit different.... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
@hilde..I didn't mean a real echoes of course but something similar compared to the SS reproduction that i have in my another system with Cherry Megaschino Class d amp and Wired4Sound STP 2 pre. STP does make the already good sound stage of the Me... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
@hilde...I would say that tube amps give an "echo-like" sound stage (perhaps because of harmonics of different levels), and good SS amps give more realistic sound stage. I use both, tube and SS class D gear, and I cannot assure which I like more. ...
