recommendations for upgrading Bryston BP-26
What about a BAT VK40SE. I heard the VK40 in my system sometime ago and liked it and I would think the SE version would be better. I liked the 40 much better than a ML 38 which would have the same signature I would imagine as the 380s. Just my 2 c... 
PASS LABS X250 vs X150.5
The other way around. The .5 series is more refined. I have heard the 250 and personally didn't care for it with my speakers. It is a very very nice amp with loads of bass and resolution. It just had too much resolution for my taste. 
SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ?
Bryston and Pass X (not .5) series. 
What speakers work well with your BAT VK-55?
My Tyler Acoustics sound very good with BAT. 
Rack Recommendation for VK-600
I bet a nice set of 40 DD's would suffice :) 
Has anyone used a pair BAT VK-55 as mono blocs
Your gonna love the 55's especially in mono. I had a 55 on loan for about 3 months and absolutely loved it. This was a stereo 55 and not mono. 
Best power cord for Running Springs Audio -Haley
I am using a VH Audio AirSine on my Haley with really good results. 
What about Cardas Cord?
I agree with Art. I had the Golden Ref running a RSA Haley last year and also on a BAT amp with good results. 
Classe DR-2 vs Classe DR-3
A local friend of mine had either the DR-2 or DR-3 I don't remember which one. I think it was 25 wpc? Anyway, it is probably the best sounding amp I have heard or one of the top 2. These amps sound wonderful and I told my friend to keep it and nev... 
Thinking of buying a solid state amp
What about a BAT ss? 
RSA Haley
I did have a Cardas Golden Ref running my last Haley with good results. Now I am using a Fusion Audio Predator as I sold the Cardas with my previous Haley. I also have at the moment a VH Audio AirSine on my integrated amp and a Shunyata Python Alp... 
RSA Haley
I previously used a Haley last year that had the upgraded brushed aluminum faceplate. I sold it to a local buddy of mine. The faceplate had "Haley" at the bottom center of it and I just bought another last week that has Haley at the top right corn... 
Mark Levinson ML-1 power supply
Its really sad all the bad press ML gets on this site. I had great luck with their customer service about 2 yrs ago and they were very helpful. Is there something I am missing here lately? 
First Watt F3 or Red Wine Audio 30.2
I think Stingreen needs some female companionship...lol ;) 
Mark Levinson 333 vs Classe ca300
If the caps have been replaced I am sure it has years of reliability left. A friend of mine has had a 334 for 3 yrs with no problems. My buddy owned the Classe CAM 350 monos and they sounded wonderful. Best amps he has owned overall. I would have ...
