Amp Upgrade Path?
@smaarch1 where are you located? Any dealers in your area that can loan you an amp? Have you considered the new Atmasphere class D monoblocks? Haven't heard them myself but from others hearing good things about them.

Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
@bigkidz  when you say "we" have not heard a class D amplifier that competes in SQ who are "we"‽   
Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
@erik_squires what happened to your Furutech connectors? Have you contacted the US Importer to see if they might be able to replace?  
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
