Cary vs Jadis vs Quad tube amps
Good choice. My Jadis (Orchestra Reference) makes Proac 1s speakers sound spectacular and I've heard many amps - this one is special. 
Why not more on 845 SETs?
711Smilin,You can buy my matched pair, since they sound great but screw up my Bel Canto IR sensor...............must be a mismatch between Bel canto and 845M of some sort. 
Cary vs Jadis vs Quad tube amps
There is something magical about the Jadis sound - I dont know why - that's where I'd put my money (and did) 
Why not more on 845 SETs?
Can anyone answer this question? My Bel Canto SEi40 was working perfectly with stock Chinese 845 tubes (Edicron), but, of course, I tried new tubes - 845Ms - suddenly, the amp programming/control mode went beserk - muted intermittently, and switch...

Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Keep your ass at home with the Kharmas. But then you knew that. 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Sir Speedy, I am indeed thrilled to death to own such a fine speaker. I do not, nor will attempt to, defend their price point. What I posted for is to state that to my ears they are "perfect" and, as my 3rd speaker investment -1977, Alison Ones, 1...

I agree with Chris. Hasn't changed over 100 hours. 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
SirSpeedy, I hear you. The Kharma 3.2s sure provide me with clarity, musicality and tremendous satisfaction, so that I have ceased to look elsewhere and will not. The quest for audio nirvana needs to end at some point for each of us and AS 2.2/Kha... 
Atma-sphere M60s. What preamps work well?
Just a re-iteration of how good an MP-1 sounds with an AS amp - the synergy is incredible. I have the MA 2.2 and an MP-1 and don't ever see a change in the future - the MP-1's predecessor was no slouch either, a ML Ref 32, but the MP-1 works just ... 
FIM GOLD
Yes, they are transparent. Dont know about Aurios Pro. 
Atma-Sphere MP1 Preamp MK.II vs BAT VK 51SE
I have an AS MA 2.2 and compared a ML Ref 32 all-time classic with the MP-1 MkII and the combination of the AS amp and preamp just blew the ML 32 away. The synergy is incredible between AS components. The sound was just more effortless, natural, w... 
FIM GOLD
I found FIM Gold to be very rich and warm with lots of body. Bettered only by Stealth Indra and PAD Dominus (latter has plenty of "body")(did not try Stereovox, which is another alternative). But if you can find a used pair, I think FIM Gold will ... 
Update Merlin TSM-Speaker Cables please
Nickway,I read the posts and review. Hard to argue with this - cost a fraction of the competition - cant really lose much except a few bucks. After all that, I need to hear them, if not on Merlins, then on my other speakers. Thanks for the suggest... 
Update Merlin TSM-Speaker Cables please
Bobby,Which Signal cable? 13 AWG, 10 AWG, single run, double run single or internal bi-wire?
