Dialogue II noise level
01-03-09: RlwainwrightI have a Butler tube amp, the noise floor is somewhere around the center of the Earth. In other words, it's dead quiet...-RW-OK thats great but he is asking about the Dialogue so what does owning a Butler amp have to do with ... 
Mark Levinson 27 or 27.5 The Difference ???
The 27.5 has much more midrange presence, detail, and extension IMO. The 27 is a very fine amp but it depends on the speakers and the sound you want? I liked both of them but in a past system I much preferred the 27.5. In my present system when I ... 
Shunyata Power Cords
Golly Gee better unload all pre-existing Shunyata's because their value is heading to the basement...lol. Oh wait a minute, before I finished typing this mine got up and slithered out the door :( 
Jolida JD100 Missing Bass
I used the GE triple mica black plates in my Jolida with good results. 
Mark Levinson 27.5, Classe CA-200 or AR-D400
My vote would be for the 27. I have owned both 27 and 27.5. While I liked both the 27.5 had more midrange and top end extension IMO. It depends on what you need or want if choosing between the two. A ML 29 is also another good one but less power. 
Need $1500 integrated amplification suggestions...
I believe TY is using the NAD M3 integrated with his products.Rumadian (Answers)Ty has used alot of different Integrateds with his speakers. Jolida SET, Coda, Plinius, NAD, Decco, etc... He really liked the Coda and Jolida but I dont think he has ... 
Tubes and Paradigm?
I think Bob gives great advice. I borrowed a pair of Studio 100's a few yrs ago and they were very hard to drive. 
Sony XA7ES vrs Cambridge 840C and others...
Look at a Sony XA9000 SACD. 
Jolida JD-100 vs. Ayre CX-7E
If you have up to $2000 to spend then I would not consider anything new below $1000. I never had any issues with the Jolida or have not heard of many here having problems. Never heard of Grant Fidelity? I would stick with a mainstream or popular b...

In my opinion the FPB series is more refined and airy. Maybe Bill or other Krell users can comment. The KSA series does have better bass output IMO.

Like I said it depends on your speakers. If my speakers were laid back and dark sounding so to speak then I would like the Pass X250. It is a nice amp for sure and the bass is probably the best I have heard but just doesn't match my speakers. But ... 
krell FPB300 or jeff rowland model 7
The Pass is too resolute for my system. The BAT sound matches my speakers much better and my speakers (Tyler Acoustics) are not bright at all. I consider them fairly neutral. I understand excess of resolution but it can be fatiguing in some system...

See I disagree with Elberoth2. I didn't care much for the Pass X250 in my system and like the Krell better. The Pass was too resolving and fatiquing for my taste. The .5 series is warmer from my understanding.

332.5 is another really good amp. I heard the 331.5 which is approx 80% the 334. Personally I would rather have the Levinson than all the ones you mention. I have owned the 27, 27.5, 29, had the 331.5 in my system, and a buddy has the 334. The 334...
