Are there any Tube Integrateds out there with?
I think the newer Jolida have auto bias and preouts? 
Cayin 265Ai
I have read glowing reviews on this amp and just want to hear if others agree. Thanks! 
Cardas ICs are too warm for Tube amp
I used to have Cardas Cross speaker cables. They are decent for the money but believe it or not Audience Maestro's worked better. They are about 85-90% of the Au-24's. The sound opened up quite a bit once they were in. The Maestro's are even cheaper. 
XLR to RCA adaptors
Thanks guys.Who has a good price on these adaptors or does anyone have any they want to let go? 
tube for mhdt Paradisea
I used to have the Paradisea but sold it and kept the bendix tube. To my ears the Bendix had a fuller more robust sound and a tad more detail. I thought overall it was better.

I have a Bendix that I am looking to sell if you are interested? Email me offline. 
Ayre vs BAT amps; SS vs tube
For me it would be an easy decision. The VK75SE to match your BAT preamp. I had a VK55 in my system on loan and it was fantastic. 
Coldplay on Quad 988
I have a couple of their CD's also. Lets put it this way, most of my other CD's sound better. They are not terrible but should have been recorded better. 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
Tvad I am not sure at the moment. My preamp is a BAT VK5i. The Paradisea sounded just as you described. I was very sad to be honest because I was really looking forward to enjoying this dac especially with all the buzz about it.I borrowed a friend...

Maybe thats why I didn't care for the Paradisea? I mated it to a Sony DVP 7700. I was very dissappointed with the Paradisea but this maybe the reason??? 
Silverline Sonata III & McIntosh MC275?
Goodpoint Bondmanp. I didn't read your post before replying to Tvad but basically I am saying the same thing. I think its good to use multiple combo's :) 
Silverline Sonata III & McIntosh MC275?
Tvad what is not to understand what I meant? Are you trying to be difficult or what? Lets try again.1. Company "A" may only use Pass Labs to audition their speakers at shows since they voiced their speakers with this particular amp. Nothing wrong ... 
Silverline Sonata III & McIntosh MC275?
Alan Yun doesn't just demo his speakers with Pass Labs, he voices his speakers with Pass Labs. He told me this in a conversation I had with him subsequent to my Sonata III purchase. If you have ever met Alan Yun, you would know how exacting the ma... 
Silverline Sonata III & McIntosh MC275?
I have visited Silverline Audio at two CES shows. Each time, Alan has demonstrated his speakers using Pass Labs amplification. I imagine he endeavors to have his speakers sound their best at shows, and he uses the amplification that provides the s...
