Sound Impressions - Benchmark HPA4/LA4 in use with a quality vinyl rig?
I had an LA4 paired with a tube amp and vinyl. The LA4 has an exciting sound that after a while became fatiguing to me. There is much talk about it's transparency, but there was always a slight "sheen" to the presentation no mater the source. YMM... 
Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation
@sounds_real_audio  I don’t suffer fools. But if you think I’m angry, you give yourself way too much credit. It takes more than strangers on the internet to get my goat. And trust me, you are about as insignificant as they come.

@toronto416    It's sad that you have to explain. Anyone remotely familiar with Verity Audio would already know this. Especially @sounds_real_audio, since he seems have a handle on how they sound and promotes himself as the "resident expert".....

This, ladies and gentlemen, is someone who never in his life has heard a Verity Audio speaker but insists on posting such crap. At the very least it makes one suspect about anything else he posts. It certainly shows he is ignorant about the design... 
300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A?
Another plug for Aric. I've owned three of his amps and was elated with each one of them. I just sold my Super 300B and I will miss it dearly. It just didn't fit with my new speakers. Aric is the man and he won't steer you wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I have found joy with the SMc modded DNA 0.5. Seems to really gel with these speakers. Iron fist/velvet glove sort of scenario.      
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
@ricevs    Paragraphs are your (and our) friend...

It can pour out of the rear, or it can pour out of the front if you choose. Thanks for the silly, but expected, comment.

@roxy54    Yes. They are keepers. I posted a not-so-good pic in my virtual system. Not sure how to get it here. They are on sliders and not spiked, but that is the location they are in for now. I'll post better pics later. Have some tube monobl...

Thanks for all the replies so far. I am bringing in two amps. The aforementioned McCormack with SMc mods and a pair of Tsakiridis Apollon Ultra tube monoblocks.

Thanks for your reply. I’m leaning heavily towards a McCormack DNA 0.5 with the GT 20 SMC mods including gravity base. I’m very familiar with McCormack amps having owned four of them in the past. I’m pretty sure the 0.5s 200 watts into four ohms s... 
Why even bother?
Honestly look at the new Reveal I think that's the name for $5000 will just knock your socks off. I'm still scratching my head after hearing them. Just plain WOW. Hifi direct in Hackensack new jersey has them. Just plain WOW for only $5000. Can... 
Vandersteen Aficianados please step inside (Quatro)
Thanks for all the input. I ended up going in another direction and bought a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations.      
little big win
You and I don't see eye to eye sometimes, but that was a nice gesture. Well done!  
Decware Sarah 300B Amp?
I owned a Torii II a few years ago and I liked it a lot. I thought about getting on the list a while back for the latest Torii, but I don’t have the patience for that. This is my third Aric amp and they’ve all been excellent performers. I still ha...
