Anyone own Adona racks? Any reviews
I have bought many cones and such from Adona, excellent company and high quality products. 
PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO
Having owned a Rogue Cronus Magnum Integrated  and a RP-5 tube preamp, they are good for the money.  If I was to buy my last tube amp however, it would definitely be Prima Luna.  A friend has the high power integrated with KT150 tubes.  All I can ... 
McIntosh MC 1.25 KW
As an owner of 2 McIntosh systems, I would say when it comes to Mac gear, whitecamaross isn’t the end all of authority’s.  
McIntosh MC 1.25 KW
@roxy54 ……………………………………….He said the MC205 sounded thin, not the MC 1.25KW which is at least 20K more. These are 2 entirely different classes of amplifiers. The MC205 is a multi-channel home theater amp while theMC1.25KW amp is not and was  the McI... 
Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k?
GAS Ampzilla or Son Of Ampzilla. 
Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you
Keep the 1.7i speakers. 
McIntosh MC 1.25 KW
I heard them in an all McIntosh system at Audio Classics.  Effortless sound, dead quiet and big. 
Need power amp recommendations for system
@erik_squires ……………………………….I felt the Parasound Halo Integrated I had was a little bright and a bit grainy. 
Need power amp recommendations for system
@erik_squires ..................i have never heard an ice powered amp that sounds warm and the GE Triton References are not bright in any way.  
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
I used NOS Mullard CV4003 (12au7) tubes in my Cronus Magnum.  Sound was excellent with a midrange to die for.  The tubes are pricey at around 100.00 each.  I purchased them from Upscale Audio. 
Can You Recommend a Good High Res Digital Audio Player?
Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD player.  I own 2, one in each system.  It will play all the different music files and works on the Linux operating system.  There is an app for both iPhone and Android.  I like this better than an Aurender N100H and a Wyred4sound... 
Need power amp recommendations for system
I run my Triton References with a McIntosh MC152, 150wpc power amp and that is only because It is in an all Mac system.  I experimented with amps when I first got the References last July.  I loved the sound with my Odyssey Stratos amp at 150wpc. ... 
REL Subwoofer: Speakon or RCA?
While while I am not completely sure, I am under the impression that the Speakon cables are the way to go to get maximum results.  
Vintage speakers or look a like
I believe uberwaltz is selling a pair of Scansonic 2.5 speakers in white on here.  Check them out. 
Pathos Classic One MK3 versus McIntosh MA 252?
Consider that the McIntosh will most likely hold a better resale value over the long haul.  I heard the Mac amp and it is very nice indeed.
