???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
End game for me means last amplifier I could afford, that would be the Engström Arne. Hope to get there one day.  
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
Best combo i’ve tried yet on my Jadis amp is a mix of RCA Black Plates and Telefunken Smooth Plates. I yet have to try Amperex and Siemens Nickel Plates.  
Who has has a totaldac DAC?
@jc51373  You are right Totaldac sounds more analogue, the Aqua Formula is more forward with huge clarity but i find it paires well with a tube amp. I now use a Jadis class A amp so it is well balanced with the Aqua Formula.

@andy2  CS 3.7s tend to be bright, in my experience poweful tube amps like VAC or Jadis is what works best for them. I have tried many different SS amps in the past few years and there was always something missing with my 3.7s.  
Recommendation for higher power tube amp
Big Jadis integrated is phenomenal with Thiel speakers. I drive my CS 3.7s with a Jadis DA88S 60w class A, KT120 power tubes and RCA NOS12AU7 long black plate input tube. This amp has outperformed many very expensive SS amps that I tried in the ...

Hi guys, i now have my new Jadis DA88S integrated amp in silver finish driving my CS 3.7s with KT88 tubes. Jadis class A tube power is spectacular with my Thiel speakers, much better than all SS amps i have tried to date.  
Mastersound evolution 845 vs. Jadis da88s vs auris forte 150
I'm getting my brand new Jadis DA88S this weekend and my cabling is Cardas Clear Beyond SCs and ICs, speakers are Thiel CS 3.7s. Will let you know how it sounds.

Same here i never toe in my 3.7s, this is definitely the best results i got but i'm lucky to have plenty of room from the side walls like about 6 feet.  
Something about Thiel CS 3.7
My 2 cents if you really want to know how a 3.7 can sing try tube monoblocks like Jadis or VAC. I've tried all kinds of SS amps with them but the best results i got by far is with PP tube amps.

I've heard the X3s at a friend's place a couple of weeks ago and we didn't like them, we found them pretty boring, slow and not lively We compared them to his Qualio IQs which are much better and less expensive. Amp used was a Hegel H590 with pl...

Hi guys, a friend mine asked me if i wanted to demo his monster Pilium Leonidas integrated on my 3.7s. This is the typical integrated that loves difficult load speakers and can easily drive 2ohms. Its is also very smooth like Pass Labs so will k... 
Opinions on Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1 Please
I'm very interested in the PAP Trio15 Horn version as i would like to try something very different to my beloved Thiel CS 3.7s. I'm planning to get Jadis amplification for my Thiel therefore this would also work great on Trio15s. My room is medi...
