Monostrapped Atma-sphere M-60
Jim,   You could always Monostrap the biggest set of Atma-spheres..... Lol... My guess is the amplifiers would work less. And be easier on tubes. Be interesting to see what it’s like. 3x Power is huge. I was think it would only be 50% increase may...

Quicksilver Mono 120 vs. Quicksilver V4
This is an older thread. But am resurrecting it. Love to hear if people have compared the two yet.  
Bel Canto Dac 3
Or you talking other power transients? I am running a PC power conditioner into a Adcom ACE 515... 
Bel Canto Dac 3
Are you talking stray DC current? I pretty much have that covered... 
Bel Canto Dac 3
 Yes that is true of the Dac 3. It’s alittle harsh. I am now, as of yesterday running it through an AVA Fet Valve CFR Preamp. And that has made a huge difference. The upgrades/mods through 3 parties aren’t cheap. Bel Canto doesn’t have any upgrade...
