Glai,Yep, Reynolds 853 is the tubing used for my Waterford road bike. You must be a cyclist too to have caught that?

This is certainly an amusing thread. 
Advantages of monoblocks
Simao,As you might surmise from my system I like Ayon gear. They make some DACs that you might consider.

Ait,I hadn't come across any of your posts since those I read on the capacitor thread. I valued your comments and it was good to find your post here.Cheers,John 
what speakers to purchase
Bkoenig,I use an Ayon S5 network player. It's pretty straightforward to use and sounds fantastic. An S3 would be another option. Cheered,John

Woodworker,Have you had an opportunity to listen to your system yet and if so perhaps share your thoughts? 
Advantages of monoblocks
Simao,I agree with Al and the others who are skeptical of replacing your integrated with $4k worth of used mono blocks and preamp. I recently went from a Rogue 99 Magnum preamp/M180 mono block system to an Ayon Triton 1 integrated amp and I couldn... 
Sexiest Speakers
When posts come across like advertisements they usually elicit some demurring replies. Glad you're happy with your your system though. Cheers 
most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ?
Narcissi,There's a lot of learned people on this forum who are willing to help but your criteria is seems too vague to permit them to render much assistance. Since you must have something in mind and I assume will know it when you hear it, I'd sug... 
Esoteric A-100 vs a03
Pani,I have an Ayon Triton 1 integrated amp and like it a lot. It's 125WPC pentode, 80WPC triode; Class A operation with no negative feedback. Uses KT88 tubes. If that sounds like enough power for you there's one listed now but with about 18 hours... 
Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most?
I'll follow Charles' lead and claim a photo finish between my Ayon Triton amp and the Duelund CAST caps in my speaker crossover. I believe both are significantly helping provide the clearest and most holographic soundstage of any system I've ever ... 
merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ?
Masilu,Your idea about using the second out loop on your CD player would seem to be on the right track as your goal is to connect the sub in such a way that it operates independently from the BAM. Other options are to drive the sub either from you... 
merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ?
Masilu,I am certainly no expert in the functioning of the BAM module but from what I was reading on Bobby's website I don't know why it would pose any particular challenges for integrating a sub into your system, and it may make it easier for all ... 
merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ?
Masilu,I used to use small speakers in my listening room but in order to build up a satisfying sound pressure level I would have to play the system louder than what I might prefer for a given listening session. By adding a sub I could develop a pl... 
Why so little discussion about Snell ?
I owned a pair of Snell E-II for about twenty years and loved every minute with them. They were a part of my first steps into higher-end audio... built, voiced and sold as a matched pair; and with a +- 1.75dB rating, pretty accurate. They were the...
