T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
david_ten,Let me apologize. I thought you had the T+A for home audition. Although you stated you purchased it, for some reason I thought you still had several components  on your list to audition. I hope you enjoy your new amp. 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
There's a dealer in the U.S. that carries T+A and Gryphon. I wonder what he would say about, " he has told us that the Japanese importer either sells both brands or did sell the Gryphon and in their tests they prefered the T+A." 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
Although in different setups, I recently heard Magico A3s with the T+A PA 3100 HV and the Gryphon 300 with YG Carmel IIs. The Gryphon/YG combination had more detail, air, defined bass, etc... I don't know if it was the room, amp, or combination of... 
Torus power vs the competition
Jfant,I have the Torus RM20. My amp, preamp, music server, and DAC are plugged into it. In my system it lowers the noise floor and increased the dynamics without any degradation of sound. Of course, no absolutes in audio, only preferences. I reall...

bultaco,I already have three Hurricane power cords...one 20 amp Hurricane on my Torus RM20 power conditioner, one 20 amp Hurricane on my Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp, and one 15 amp Hurricane on my Jeff Rowland Corus preamp. I'm purchasing two more, be...

bultaco,I had a Shunyata Venom on my DAC, but replaced it with Wireworld Platinum. I never tried Shunyata’s Digital power cords. Shunyata power cords don't work well in my current system. I currently have a Tornado power cord on my Chord Dave DAC ... 
Speaker recomendation
Audiotroy doesn't bother me, because I take his recommendations with a grain of salt. If he recommends something that sparks my interest, I go listen to the component with my owns ears. I did that for speakers that he recommended and recently with...

david_ten,I'm not going to do anything. I talked to a guy at length yesterday about the Aeris.I didn't realize I had to purchase the room correction and preamp with DAC. I decided to stay with my system that I love. I don't want to take one step f...

david_ten,The JWM bookshelf speakers really sound good, but may be a little forward sounding to some. I listened to Magico A3s connected to the      T + A 3100HV integrated. I don't know if it was the speakers, amp, room, or the combination of eve... 
Speaker recomendation
I just heard Legacy Audio(Focus SE) speakers for the first time. I think they sound really good and represent outstanding value. I would love to hear the Aeris as possible replacements for my speakers.

I went on Saturday. It's a small event, but I'm glad I attended. My new goal is to attend at least two shows per year.  
Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review
My opinion is a little different than yours. I didn't hear a "greater" amount of clarity compared to my system. I took several CDs that I'm very familiar with... Again, the 7Fs sound very good, but I didn't hear any details that I haven't already ... 
Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review
All speakers benefit from being connected to the "right" components based on how they're voiced. I have great respect for your knowledge Audiotroy, but I submit your talk about the Personas created unrealistic expectations for me. Although I think... 
Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review
rlb61,I couldn’t agree more, " Everyone hears differently, including reviewers. Remember, one person’s awesome Be tweeter is another person’s piece of garbage. Just sayin’." I always say, no absolutes only preferences! Unfortunately, some on Audio...
