Ayon Spirit III or Vincent V60 integrated amp
Dramapsycho,I have a friend who has owned an Ayon Spirit1 for several years. He loves the sound and has had no problems with it. I recently moved out my Rogue separates system for an Ayon Triton 1 and am very happy with the move. If you should dec... 
anyone use KT120's or KT110's tubes in MAC 275 ?
It would contact McIntosh regarding your question. Also, I do not like KT120s either. Too much bass, grainy, dull... really not a good tube. I put my Gold Lion KT88s back in my amps and never looked back. From what I have been told the KT150s are ... 
What about JJ KT88 tubes?
I've used Gold Lion KT88s for years with no reliability issues. 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Parts Connexion has them listed. 
Are KT88 Gold Lions Amp Tubes dependable
I have run GL KT88's in my amps for years and have had no problems with them. 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
I use stainless steel Soler Points on my speakers. They are great. The local shop here stocks many sizes, but Ed Soler is a local to the shop so it's easy to have him make them to order. The ones I had made for my speakers are about two inches at ... 
Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes?
Yes, we still need the other tubes. I tried KT120 tubes in my system and they sounded terrible compared to the Gold Lion KT88s. The bass was overpowering, the highs not as extended, the soundstage not as extended in any dimension, they were not as... 
Spectral DMA 360 Series 2 with Aerial 20T
I heard the Aerial 10T with an all Spectral system back in the '90s and it sounded great. Based on that listening experience I would certainly have the 20T on my audition list. 
why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
Justlisten,It doesn't seem to me that the environment to which you refer is a thing of the past. 
Small Speakers For A Large Room...
You might consider Silverline SR17 Supreme. I have used it in a large room with a sub with great success. It uses the Dynaudio Esotar tweeter. 
Ayon Orion 2 or Prima Luna Dialogue Premium Int.?
I'll echo Jib222, the Ayon is a very attractive product. My experience was with what was at the time their entry level amp, the Spirit-1. A friend of mine owns it and loves it. It is very musical, very clear, but while it was still in the shop her... 
Best monitor for under $4000.00
I would add Canton Reference 9.2 DC to your audition list. 
Ayon Orion 2 or Prima Luna Dialogue Premium Int.?
The Ayon Orion is made in China. Their other amps are Austrian.I have not heard the Orion but have heard the Spirit 1 and it's a good amp. I have no experience with Prima Luna, but I certainly like the Ayon gear. Rather than an Orion, I'd try to l...

DENON PMA - A100 vs NAD C375BEE
I wanted to make a correction to my previous post. The amp I owned was the PMA 2000 IVR. The PMA A100 is the anniversary version of that amp, and I assume included some upgrades over the amp I owned. And again, between the two amps you are conside...
